The types of accommodation we offer may seem a bit confusing: how is a villa different from a country hotel; a farmstay different from a Bed and Breakfast?

Tuscany farmhouses - these are located on working farms, usually vineyards with large areas of olive trees. The rooms are inside, or next to, the house of the family running the farm. Some of the farms produce olive oil, while others produce wine, honey, tomatoes and other vegetables, but all will provide you with a glimpse of real Tuscan life. It's the perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy the true Tuscany. The rooms and apartments on our web sites are all fully restored in traditional style with odern bathrooms. They are all spotlessly clean and there is frequently a swimming pool available. These houses are known in Italian as "case coloniche". Many attractive possibilities are listed on our Greve in Chianti web site.

Tuscan villas - these are large, more splendid structures than case coloniche, with larger rooms and high ceilings. It is possible to rent an entire villa or rooms and apartments within a villa. All Tuscan villas on our lists have been restored to their former splendour. They contain all modern facilities, while retaining their rustic charm. Most have landscaped grounds to enjoy and quiet areas for walking. They are the perfect place to accommodate large groups for vacations, weddings and conferences. We recommend Villa Rignana and Poggio alle Croci.
