Tuscany is renowned for the rolling, vine-strewn hills of the Unesco-listed Val d’Orcia, intriguing medieval towns like Montepulciano, Arezzo and San Gimignano, and historic cities like Florence, Siena and Pisa. From tracing the region’s Etruscan roots in Cortona to the elegant stone streets of Lucca, culture and natural splendour await at every turn. Gorgeous beaches and thrilling watersports along the Tuscan coastline tick the final box on a distinctively well-rounded holiday destination.

With Home in Italy, visitors can enjoy private vineyard tours and wine tastings, take cooking classes with top chefs, discover museums with private guides, and explore the countryside via bicycle or even a hot-air balloon ride.

The agency itself is based in Umbria, just south of Tuscany. Often considered a quieter, undiscovered version of its northern neighbour, this region is bursting with natural beauty, multifaceted cultural heritage and a more relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for travellers seeking peace and authenticity. Among the stunning country landscapes lie medieval towns like Perugia, Assisi, Todi and Orvieto, each offering its own historical and cultural charm. The Home in Italy staff is on hand with deep local knowledge and exclusive insider tips, ready to arrange bespoke experiences such as truffle hunts, private guided tours and farm-to-table dining with local chefs.

With a broad portfolio and a hands-on approach, every Home in Italy stay feels both polished and personal. Its combination of well-appointed properties and on-the-ground know-how enables guests to make the most of their time in Italy.
