2024 is the second ever year Travel + Leisure have included luxury villa rental companies in their prestigious, annual World’s Best Awards. It’s also the second year in a row that Tuscany Now & More have earned first-place on the list, and we couldn’t be prouder.
This year, Travel + Leisure asked over 186,000 readers to share their thoughts on leading travel companies across the globe, but it was our specialised expertise on Italy that came out on top.
As a small family-run company in Italy, this is a tremendous accolade. It is testament to how on-the-ground local knowledge and hospitality guarantees the personal touch that large international agencies can’t always fulfil.
In the words of T+L, we are “making travellers’ dolce vita dreams come true” and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. We pride ourselves on our focused portfolio of luxury villas in Tuscany and beyond, where sophisticated design meets centuries-old tradition. Our concierge provides the service of a hotel, but with privacy, exclusivity and total personalisation.
The Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards are rated on the very specific set of criteria below. Keep reading to find out why you should book your next villa getaway with Tuscany Now & More.
Service, Service, Service
We are privileged to represent some of the most exclusive properties in Italy, from an imperial palazzo near Lake Garda with a personal butler, to a 900-acre estate in the heart of Chianti. But our personalised service and insider knowledge is the real secret to our 35 years of success.
No request is too big or too small for our team of Villa Specialists and Local Concierges. We visit every property we list and bring the best authentic experiences to our guests, from in-villa wine tastings with a local winemaker to hot air balloon rides over the Tuscan hills. It doesn’t matter how niche your request may be: we’ve even helped arrange a private dinner for two in the Uffizi before.
And, once you are booked and in-destination, our 24/7 on-the-ground staff are there for whatever you may need. If you want genuine Italian hospitality, it’s best to leave it to the Italians.
Location is key
Since Tuscany Now & More first launched in 1990, our portfolio has steadily grown. As well as luxury villa rentals in Tuscany, we also rent villas across Umbria, near Venice, Verona, and Rome.
Guests seeking off-the-path experiences can find peace and authentic cuisine in small Umbrian hamlets, while those wanting to explore iconic cities like Florence can walk into the centre from their villa.
Our villas promise awe-inspiring views and experiences, whether you choose to be on the coast overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea, or on a family-run wine estate within walking distance of a cantina.
Choice of amenities
When you stay at one of our villas in Italy, a private swimming pool is guaranteed. Tailored services from personal chefs to additional housekeeping are only ever a phone call away.
Our luxury villas in Italy boast incredible amenities, from private spas and hot tubs to tennis courts, and private access to the sea. Guests wishing to marry in Italy will find opulent homes with their own private amphitheatres. Foodie lovers can choose from villas with their own private Tartufaia for truffle hunting adventures.
We work with our villa owners on meticulous restoration projects that bring top-level luxury comforts to beautiful historic buildings. Enjoy cooking classes in professional grade kitchens before retiring to your frescoed loggia for aperitivo. Soak in a roll-top ensuite bath overlooking rolling hills and vineyards. Whatever your interests, we’ll find a villa with the amenities to match.
Range of properties
Every home in our exclusive portfolio of villas is handpicked with our clients in mind. We visit and stay in every property we list and we deliberately keep our portfolio small for this reason. Attention to detail is key. Whether you are a couple looking to honeymoon in Italy or are seeking a grand estate for a multi-generational reunion, we know each villa by heart. Just ask our Villa Specialists.
Value
Tuscany Now & More began with a simple, yet important ethos. Our guests should pay a fair price and our villa owners deserve a fair rental. As an agency, we never expect something for nothing. We’ll earn our share with the service we provide. The memories and experiences you’ll have are priceless.
Booking your dream villa in Italy is just a quick enquiry away. A small deposit is all it takes to fix your villa price in € (euros) and secure your very own version of la dolce vita.
