Italy Villa Holidays
From the rolling hills and stately villas of Tuscany and Umbria to the sunshine playground of Puglia and the endless beaches of Sicily, villa holidays in Italy are unrivalled in their sheer variety, loved by couples, families and groups alike.
Villa holidays in Italy: Tuscany & Umbria
Cocooned by rolling hills and flanked by olive groves and vineyards, villas in Tuscany and Umbria offer a serene escape from the every day. It’s a region astonishingly rich in history, so you could find yourself not just immersed in one of the world’s most influential cultures, but staying in a former palazzo or grand villa dating back hundreds of years. Italian villa holidays bring you a unique blend of old and new, where traditional buildings have been enhanced with private swimming pools to give you a taste of luxury in a beautiful and authentic setting. And as the proportions of these venerable old buildings tended to be pretty palatial by modern standards, you’ll also enjoy plenty of room for your family holiday or group getaway.
By choosing a villa as your holiday base, you have complete freedom to set your own pace; whether that’s exploring medieval towns like Siena and San Gimignano or enjoying a wine tasting in Chianti, there's no shortage of memorable experiences. You can spend your days lounging by the pool, preparing meals with fresh local ingredients, or taking day trips to Florence, Pisa, or the picturesque Val d'Orcia. More than just a week in the sunshine, villa holidays in these delightful regions of Italy deliver charm, privacy, and a deep connection to the local heritage.
