Here are three reasons why we think a luxury villa rental is an ideal option for family trips:

1. Luxury Villa Rentals Make Vacationing with Kids a Breeze: From the convenience of having your own state of the art kitchen to private pools and comfy media rooms, the luxury villa concept means that keeping kids fed, happy and occupied is much easier staying in a villa than it would be staying in a conventional hotel. Villazzo VillaHotels also offer butler service that can ensure you and your family have everything you need from a stocked pantry to the right toiletries.

2. Luxury Villa Rentals Offer More Options: Rather than having several generations of one family cooped up in one or two hotel rooms a luxury villa rental offers the opportunity for space and many different activities during your vacation. Of course, you always have the option of leaving your villa and exploring your destination, but when you’re at “home” you can rest assured knowing it will feel just like that–with five-star luxuries thrown in.

3. Luxury Villa Rentals Won’t Always Break the Bank: We’re all looking for value for our dollar and while a villa rental may seem pricey, it can be definitely be an efficient option when considering the number of people vacationing and the type of experience you’re looking for.

Italian Villa Gives The Serene Atmosphere To Spend Your Valuable Time

Italian Villa
If you want to experience a combination of exotic cuisine, roman architecture and renaissance art then Italy is definitely the destination for you. Italy is renowned for its wine and olive culture, pizza, pasta, palaces, roman ruins and ingrained Roman Catholic history. Italy has a myriad of opportunities for both the casual as well as the experienced traveler. Like any country with a wide and deep rooted cultural heritage, Italy is best explored on foot with ample amount of time on hand to do full justice to everything the country has to offer. Florence is one of Italy's most magnificent cities and a popular tourist destination.

Renting villas in Florence will give you enough time to explore the city at your pace and truly absorb the local culture.

Tuscany is one of the most popular areas in Italy and in the heart of Tuscany lays the city of Florence. The city of Florence pays homage to the renaissance arts with its extensive artistic influence on various architectural structures as well as variety of museums and art galleries. This city was home to famous artists like Brunelleschi, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo who have contributed greatly to the art history of Florence. With the wide array of options available in Florence it is impossible to experience it all in a day or in a rush. Rent exotic and luxurious villas in Florence to experience the city at your own pace and to take in what it has to offer.

If you are visiting Italy then you definitely cannot refuse a trip to the island of Sicily. Although Sicily is located right next to Italy, the island nation has a culture that is totally unique and has several influences of other European nations. Sicily is an autonomous region and contains of several separate provinces. If you want to experience a mix of European and African culture then Sicily has a lot to offer. Online research will help you find the ideal Sicily vacation rental villas and homes. These luxurious homes give you an opportunity to relax and thoroughly enjoy the culture of Italy.

You know you want to visit Italy this summer, but aren't sure where? Take that snapshot of your ideal location in your mind, and match it up with our descriptions. We've got all the basic info you need on traveling to our 3 top regions in Italy...

If you picture rolling hills of green and brown, vineyards and castles, you want...TUSCANY!
Tuscany is the quintessential postcard and much idealized version of Italy that most travelers picture when they think of renting a villa here. It is beautiful, to be sure, and offers so much for every kind of visitor, from history to gastronomy and leisurely activities like cycling.

Most of our villas in Italy are updated stone farmhouses located in small patches of countryside, in between smaller villages (great for exploring in the day) and within driving distance to at least one of the province's major cities, Siena and Florence. You're never far from a winery - choose Chianti if you really want to be in the heart of it - and some of our villas are even part of their own wine or olive oil estates.

The variety offered by villas in Tuscany, ranging in size and price, makes it the perfect destination if you are just not sure what you want!

If you picture dark cypress forests, lakes and crumbling medieval fortresses, choose...UMBRIA!
Umbria is Tuscany's lesser-known neighbor, similar in many ways (enchanting medieval towns? check!) but also different. A bit moodier - Umbria, in fact, means shadow - due to its thick forests, mountains and gorgeous river valleys, it is a place that feels a bit mysterious and rich.

Despite its look, Umbria offers much of the same attractions as Tuscany (the food here is even better in fact, it has been argued), usually at a lower cost. You will pay less for a villa here than one comparable in Tuscany, only due to the latter's bigger reputation. And villas in Umbria generally have the same restored farmhouse feel, which is the classic Italian style preferred by most of our guests.

If you picture the seaside, with homes tumbling down the cliff face, you want...THE AMALFI COAST!
The Amalfi Coast is a one-of-a-kind region in Italy, full of all the traditional things that make Italy a great place to visit - food, wine, culture - with a little glitz and glamor thrown in for good measure. The distinct look of this seaside province (technically called Campania) has been replicated in art and celebrated in film, but the only true way to experience it is to be there.

Our villas in the Amalfi Coast are much different from those in Tuscany and Umbria. Generally more modern, they are built on multiple levels right into the cliffside to maximize views of the Mediterranean (note - this can make the Amalfi Coast a poor choice for people with mobility issues). The trade off for these mind-blowing panoramas is usually land acreage, as Amalfi Coast villas lack the green space defined by Tuscan farmhouses. Guests are, however, generally within just a few minutes of the town, with all its restaurants and nightlife, so this region is great for night owls!
