Why should you book a villa with Italy Villas?

There are all sorts of services for booking a dream holiday in Italy today and all sorts of accommodations available but we still think that securing a villa with Italy Villas is the best way to go and here is why...

1. Villas mean privacy

If you book a villa in Italy rather than a hotel room, you have more private space and can come and go without having to consider anyone else. With a living room, kitchen, and additional spaces, you and your travel companions can separate to decompress throughout your stay and then come together in communal areas to properly enjoy some quality time – it’s the best of both worlds. Offering more space and additional comforts, a villa is a more versatile, comfortable, and private option.

Are you in desperate need of getting away from it all? Do you want to spend some proper quality time with the one you love? Or maybe you are looking for a special gift as the Holidays approach? Well, the answer to all of the above is booking a romantic getaway in Italy for two!

From gondola rides in Venice, to watching the sun set over the skyline of Florence, to tasting wine in picturesque vineyards in Chianti, to strolling along the perfect sandy beaches of Apulia, to recreating scenes from Roman Holiday in Rome, to candlelit dinners with sea views on the Amalfi Coast – Italy is a destination that is perfectly designed for romance!

What are some lesser-known art attractions in Florence?

This is a question to ask if you are the type of person who wants to go beyond a destination’s most obvious tourist attractions. Those who find a villa in Florence and are diving into the rich history of art and design in this important art capital will likely consider visits to the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia, the Duomo. These key art institutions are home to works by some of the most famous names in the history of art but if you want to go beyond these more well-known gems and see something else, then read on for our guide to some of the city’s less familiar museums and galleries that are equally fascinating wonders and incredible reflections of this extraordinary cultural titan of a holiday destination. Book your holiday rental in Florence with Italy Villas and then come explore:
