Tuscany, Italy
Relish the beautiful region of Tuscany when you visit with Inspirato. Stay in a restored farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and vineyards at Villa Dante or Villa Azzurri, just outside Florence.
Or, choose from one of our stunning 11th-century luxury estates—Villa Collina, Villa Bellezza, and La Villetta—near Siena. The historic estate Podere Panico in Val d’Orcia offers the most incredible scenic views, boasting a private pool overlooking the rolling Tuscan countryside.
Much More Than a Landscape
Widely renowned for its rich Brunello wine, the Val d'Orcia region of Tuscany was designed in Renaissance times to be one of the world's most aesthetically pleasing and untouched landscapes. Added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 2004, the countryside is depicted by many famous painters and is featured in movies such as The English Patient and Under the Tuscan Sun. Our residences, just south of Siena, are surrounded by world-renowned vineyards and picturesque towns such as Montepulciano and Montalcino.
The Chianti region of Tuscany is famous for its ancient villages, mountainous terrain, and of course, Chianti Classico wine. Take some time to explore the local towns of Greve in Chianti, Siena, and Florence and revel in the classic Tuscan design and charm. A day trip is a must to the towns of Lucca, Pisa, and Cinque Terre.
