It borders France, Austria, Slovenia and Switzerland, while having dramatic coastlines on each of the Ligurian, Sardinian, Tyrrhenian, Sicilian, Ionian and Adriatic Seas. Exploring Italy is an enriching experience, with its centuries of great art and architecture. The cities of Venice, Florence and Rome are legendary. Italy is also medieval stone villages on the hilltops of a glorious countryside, vineyards and cypress trees, fabulous shopping, and superb food and wine.

Experience the Flavor at Italy Villas

The key word in any Italian vacation is flavor. Italy is a sensory masterpiece and staying in one of our popular Italy villas affords you the opportunity to experience exotic flavors of all sorts. From the succulent Italian cuisine, with perfectly paired wines in gorgeous Tuscany, to the unmistakable musky scent and vibrant color in Florentine art galleries, Italy is sure to have you delighting in every sense. Our Italy villas provide the perfect hub from which to explore all that Italy has to offer.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry

It is no secret that a trip to Italy will involve tantalizing your pallet. Ambrosial meals had while relaxing on outdoor patios, mouth-watering wines straight from the world's finest vintners; we have a host of Italy villas centered in beautiful Tuscany, the ideal destination for the true epicure. Italians have a tradition of drawing meals out, lingering over the savory tastes in an unapologetic leisurely way. The flavors are more vivid when enjoyed slowly, taking time to chew dreamily and discern different spices and herbs. Take a cue from the Italians and just dedicate nights to the appreciation of food, plain and simple. You won't regret it, the Italians sure don't.

It is also worthwhile to take a culinary class while staying in Tuscany. Take your skills back to the Italy villas and whip up something traditional and delectable. Better yet, take your new cooking skills home and impress all of your friends and neighbors!

Birthplace of the Renaissance

With a tradition of patronizing cultural pursuits, Florence is a perfect specimen of Renaissance art and architecture. Using Italy villas as a base explore the famous Italian city and walk in the footsteps of Julius Caesar, the city's founding father. Visit the Duomo, a stunning domed cathedral that is still the biggest brick and mortar dome in the world, the Uffizi, and the Accadamia dell'Arte del Disegno. Tucked inside the latter two you will find sculptures and paintings created by some of the most brilliant artists of this century, such as Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. Fine art permeates this city, flavoring it with culture and its own unique spirit.

Beyond Tuscany

Italy villas are also located outside of Tuscany, along the dramatic Amalfi coast lined with rugged cliffs, in the sparkling Gulf of Naples on the Isle of Capri, or in a charming piazza of Rome. Having such diverse Italy villas allows you to vacation anywhere you can imagine. Create lasting memories of cobbled streets, speeding Vespas, and the glorious, silky sound of Italian rolling off the locals' tongues. Most importantly, visit a fountain and toss in a coin to ensure a return visit to this magnificent country.
At sunset on your final day, you will have to say goodbye to Italy and to your luxurious, comfortable Italy villas. As you watch the sun sail slowly below the horizon, make sure to absorb that last bit of flavor and romance that Italy provides. Take it home with you and savor it.
