Tuscany/Umbria

this page
For years, we made it a
deliberate policy not to arrange our properties by region.
We didn’t want Tuscany to dominate. We wanted to
force you to read all our descriptions in order to seduce
you. Now, however, things have changed, and while Tuscany
remains as attractive as ever, most visitors to the
Italian countryside are open to new, less touristed
areas. Especially those of you who have already rented
from us often in the past.
We’ve got Tuscany. We’ve also got Umbria,
upper Lazio
(the area just north of Rome), the Veneto,
and the Marche.
See what you think.
