Tuscany Now & More Our promise: the finest villas in Italy. Exclusively available through us — Tuscany, Umbria & More.

Tuscany Now was founded in 1990 with a portfolio of just one single house, Vaggio Savernano. We've grown to a team of 661 persons based in London, Spain, the US and of course Italy. The approach we take is distinctly focused: our portfolio only includes properties exclusive to Tuscany Now, which not only meet our degree of quality but offer the features we consider essential, including competent a

nd friendly staff. We inspect every single property to ensure our high standards are maintained and, in partnership with two specialist travel agencies, offer seamless service and hospitality. Our sales team is composed entirely of Italians or Italophiles who have lived in Italy and who know the properties and their surrounding areas first-hand. In an Internet-driven age, we take the best of both worlds and prefer to talk to clients directly, discussing their specific needs and expectations by providing local knowledge, useful advice and a wealth of extra services to guarantee a fantastic travel experience. We complement this personal approach with extensive, in-depth information and our very own high-resolution photographs for every single property present on our website.

It’s Venice’s greatest tragedy that most visitors never venture beyond St Mark’s Square. But beyond the crowds, a living, breathing city awaits...

Start with cicchetti and wine at All’Arco, a local institution for Venetian bites and ombra.

Admire Titian and Veronese at the Accademia, home to the city’s greatest masterpieces.

Sail to Mazzorbo for a tasting at Venissa, where a once-extinct Dorona grape thrives in a lagoon vineyard championing sustainability.

Live like a Venetian noble in your own historic villa, surrounded by frescoes and grand salons.

Step inside Palazzo Grimani, where classical sculptures, mythological frescoes, and a hidden nymphaeum reveal Venice’s opulent past.

The beauty of Italian cooking isn’t in the complexity—it’s in the quality of the ingredients. When it comes to fresh pasta, our in-villa chefs and local cooks are true masters. Think hand-rolled pici, delicate ravioli, and perfect spaghetti, made from scratch.

Are you rolling up your sleeves for an in-villa cooking class, or sitting back with a glass of Chianti to watch the magic happen? 🍝 🍷

📍It's time to get inspired! Our local concierge can connect you with organic boutique wineries pushing the boundaries of Italian winemaking. Or why not master Tuscan cooking using the produce you handpick at Greve's farmer's market? Beyond the iconic hilltowns and internationally-renowned vineyards, there is a slower, innovative and equally delicious side to Chianti calling to be discovered.

In the words of Country & Town House Magazine, a getaway at 📍Palazzo Nelle is “like having a boutique hotel to yourself.”

Think attentive staff, soaring ceilings and heirloom-filled rooms, surrounded by ancient trees and sprawling vineyards. Spend summer afternoons soaking in the private pool with a dedicated drinks service, gather for biodynamic wine tastings in lavender-filled gardens and enjoy sundown dinners served by your in-villa chef.

And when culture calls? Florence, Siena, and Chianti’s hilltop towns are just a heartbeat away.

Italy has a way of making artists out of all of us.

Maybe it’s the golden light over a Tuscan vineyard or the way Venice’s marble palazzi shimmer on the water. Some places aren’t just seen—they are felt.

For those who want to experience Italy beyond the ordinary, our in-villa art retreats offer a rare opportunity to slow down and truly take it in—brush in hand, guided by an acclaimed Florentine artist. Paint the breathtaking landscapes surrounding your luxury villa, immerse yourself in the art capitals of Florence, Venice, Siena, or Orvieto, and experience some of Italy’s most iconic museums through an artist’s eyes.

With every detail arranged through our award-winning concierge service, all you need to do is arrive, unwind, and create.

From in-villa chefs to winemakers and wedding planners, our villa owners take on a number of different roles that go above and beyond ownership. This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating five of the inspiring women behind our villas—and the stories that make these homes remarkable!

There is Elisa, the owner of📍Santa Dieci, an enchanting 1000-year-old tower overlooking Siena, who has been gradually restoring the family estate with the help of her partner, Gianni since the 1990s. Hosting feels like second nature for Elisa now, who remembers growing up in a house full of people from all over the world. “A sign hung in my mother’s kitchen” Elisa recalls, “It said: Amo trasformare i sentimenti in minestra — I love to turn feelings into soup.""

For Marina, 📍Villa Zambonina near Verona has always been, first and foremost a family home. The sublime Palladian villa sits on the family’s private farming estate and has all the old-world grandeur of a Venetian palazzo. “I especially love the fact that Zambonina is part of a farm where I mainly cultivate Carnaroli and Vialone Nano rice”, Marina muses. Sharing the villa and creating luxury experiences for guests has allowed Marina to preserve a massive part of her family history, but also the heritage of the Veneto region.
