Tuscany located in central Italy is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and a popular vacation destination. When you need something that isn’t your average farmhouse in Tuscany, RentVillas.com has your answer. Here are their latest offerings from their latest press release. Most Italian villa rentals are Saturday to Saturday, with a one week minimum stay.
- Castello Machiavelli (2): Located in a 9th century castle once owned by Machiavelli, this apartment is surrounded by a medieval hamlet and gorgeous views. The location is ideal for day trips to Lucca, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, and Volterra.
- Villa Antonietta (10): A traditional but well-equipped country villa in the midst of the Chianti hills, this property sits near the ruins of a 14th century castle. Open-beam ceilings and terra cotta floors provide that authentic Tuscan feel.

Vineyards and olive trees on the property produce olive oil and Chianti Classico wine, while the garden by the private pool is kept in classic Italian style.

No but they sound great. Siena is such a lovely place… I run a blog about its Palio, you may want to have a look (and, if you like it, please feel free to link to me through any word in this article or wherever you like.) Ciao!
