You have the Tuscan farmhouse situated close to ancient medieval villages like Montalcino, Pienza, San Gimignano or Volterra. You have the rural house standing at the centre of a century-old vineyard or olive grove. You have the cottage in Lunigiana, in the Mugello valley or in Garfagnana.

In short, if you are looking for a farmhouse in Tuscany where to spend one or more weeks, you are just spoilt with choice: farmhouses at the sea, farmhouses in the countryside, and farmhouses in the mountains.

Tuscan farmhouses are rural buildings surrounded by wide green spaces. In the past, these cottages immersed in the Tuscan countryside were the houses of the "mezzadro" (half tenant) and of his family. The reddish walls and the white square on the main façade with the landlord`s name or the number of the estate written on it are symbols of the history of these houses, which are also called peasant or Leopoldina houses.

At present, these cosy buildings have been transformed into Tuscan holiday farmhouses for rent . Holiday villas provided with all comforts (satellite TV, Wi-Fi Internet connection, washing machine, dishwasher, car park, and so forth) often featuring also a swimming pool and areas dedicated to sports, where you can regenerate your body and soul.

A farmhouse is the ideal solution for those who are dreaming of relaxing holidays in close contact with nature.
