There’s definitely something magical about Tuscany, and it’s difficult to put your finger on exactly what it is. Maybe it’s the fantastic landscapes, characterised by rolling rows of vineyards and olive groves? Maybe it’s the fantastic cuisine and wine, the climate, or the fact you can revel in Renaissance treasures in cities as beautiful as Florence and Siena. More likely it’s a mix of all these things and a whole lot more, with an added bit of magic that makes the place unforgettable. One thing that certainly adds to the charm is the amazing range of holiday villas in Tuscany. Many of the ones on our books are in the countryside and feature fantastic private pools – and seeing as how everyone loves the Mediterranean sun, Mediterranean views and Mediterranean pools, we thought we’d put the three together and give you our top 10 swimming pools with amazing views in Tuscany!
With a bigger pool for the adults and a smaller one right beside it, that’s perfect for smaller paddling feet, Villa Le Fauci is great for a big family holiday. It’s in quite a remote area of the region, but that just means more peace and quiet, and there’s plenty to keep everyone occupied in the villa itself.

And now for something completely different! You don’t normally expect such chicness and contemporary style from Tuscan homes, but we love to surprise at Oliver’s Travels.
