Coastal Vacations

Ejoy The Essence of Tuscany Italy

Written by bmlengel on June 14th, 2009

Each time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my entire body for what it’s worth experiences an intense feeling of calmness. I know exactly that this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere this part of Italy near Florence releases. I have found an ideal balance of enjoying the entrancing town of Florence and its cultural activities at the same time I refurbish energy by either doing a farm vacation or staying in a luxury villa in the countryside of Tuscany.

Wallow in Luxury in Tuscany Italy

The words ‘luxury’ and ‘farm’ might frighten you away, firstly because everybody associates luxury with costly and farm with small comfort. Let me tell you of some wonderful places where I have been and you will see how this is far more pleasing than staying at a hotel in the city centre.

The Fattoria il Lago cottage is located about forty kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the tiny city of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The intensive property homes three areas which are referred to as towns, each having loft accommodations and an entirely different landscape to admire. The main lodging building is called La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Merely a short walk away you find Lago town with its corresponding pool accompanied by a beautiful garden. The third area is the most old fashioned sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the hues of green possible. This type of vacation rental is as comfortable and reposeful as the luxurious villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other travellers. When you get your Tuscany car rental, you should ask for a good map and perhaps even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the cottage is located off other country roads. Customarily any vacation home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You simply have to let them know beforehand.

The 11th c. Medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is an example of those holiday rental places in Tuscany where you may have it all and still have your own breathing room, having your freedom from stress. This wonderful lodging is individual terraces enticing you with Tuscany tours such as viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive vehicle, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you don’t wish to miss out on the beautiful beaches, there are excursions to the Mediterranean shore, too.

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the luxurious villa estate called Villa de Dievole near the old city of Vagliali. As all villas used to be part of to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is incomparable. The decoration in many has been respected in the restoration process, so you’re living among many centuries of history. This 16th century villa has rooms and apartments with a private guesthouse, too.

Without overtaxing one’s strength, your Tuscany Italy holiday tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
