Who are TN&M®?

In 1990, Tuscany Now® begins with one house. It also begins with an ethos. Our customers should pay a fair price. The owners of these unique Tuscan properties must get a fair rental, much of which they plough right back into preserving their beautiful homes. And as an agency, we never expect something for nothing. We’ll earn our share with the service we provide. This ethos lives on.

Over three decades, many Tuscany Now® guests have made a connection with the people, landscapes, food, wine and traditions of Tuscany. But that doesn’t mean we have been 100% traditional. We were the first UK travel company online. We were the first company to advertise their website in the Sunday Times. We were the first UK travel site to try to reach new customers via Google’s AdWords service.

We work in partnership with our owners to help them develop their properties to surprise and delight travellers. Their stones may be old (some are very old), but these villas deliver a 21st-century experience. Everyone has a private swimming pool.  You won’t see these properties advertised anywhere else. Every Tuscany Now® villa is exclusive to us.

Bedrooms in most are air-conditioned (and believe us, many appreciate that in a Tuscan mid-August). We lead the way in offering fully-staffed villas in Italy, for the ultimate in relaxation.

In 2014, we re-launched as Tuscany Now&More®. Our big idea? Simply to offer more: locations beyond Tuscany — in Umbria and Portofino, outside Venice and Verona — and authentic Tuscan experiences. If you like the sound of wine-tasting with a Chianti vintner or truffle hunting in Tuscany’s bountiful chestnut woods, our travel concierges can arrange it. This dedicated English-speaking team is available in Italy, right through your stay, on the phone or via WhatsApp.

What else is different about Tuscany Now&More®? Well, many companies claim to visit every property they promote. We actually do. That’s one of the reasons we keep a small and focused portfolio.

If you have a specific question — and we mean really specific — about one of our villas, there will be a team member who can answer, because they’ve seen it with their own eyes. They are all Italian or long-standing Italophiles who know our villas and their surrounds intimately. We have our photographers, film-makers, web designers, and even copywriters writing these words as guests in our villas. Everyone who works for or with us understands what we are about. We hope you will too.

Almost 34 years since we began, we’re still a family; but we’ve grown a little. We have two companies based in London and Barcelona. More than 400 more people help us with everything from pool cleaning to paperwork. And of course, there’s our 128 villa owners. Each of the exquisite properties on this website has a story as individual as our own — many of them centuries longer. We hope to make you part of it.

Every one of us is devoted to matching you with the perfect property and an ideal setting in the most beautiful country in the world: Italy. Give us a call or send us an email and let us know how we can help.

It’s humbling when two of the world’s leading luxury travel institutions say you are the best at what you do.

For two years in a row we’ve also been awarded World’s Best Villa Rental Company by Travel + Leisure for our commitment to luxury, privacy, and above all, service. 

We were thrilled to also have been voted one of the Best Villa Rental Companies in the World at the Condé Nast Traveller Readers Choice Awards 2024. This is our ninth year in a row, coming in well ahead of some much bigger operators, making us one of the leading Tuscany and Umbria villa agency in the Condé Nast list.  

We are particularly pleased because it is magazine readers and our travellers who decide these awards. We don’t have huge resources or millions of social media followers to ask for votes. We just have our handpicked Italian villas, expert travel concierges, and personal service from start to finish.

So, thank you from all of us. We hope to continue to live up to — even exceed — these high expectations. Click here to find out why our travellers choose us year on year, and what makes us the Best Villa Rental Company in the World.
