Wel<strong>com</strong>ing You to the Story<br />
We embrace the traditions of all our beautiful<br />
properties. Their history may be illustrious, and<br />
their stones may be old — some are very old<br />
indeed — but we make you feel like the first guest.<br />
Twenty-first century <strong>com</strong>forts are wrapped inside<br />
each one. Every Tuscany Now & More villa has a<br />
swimming pool. Most have air-conditioning. And<br />
our personalized service includes dedicated travel<br />
concierges, ground staff, and chefs or a maid, if<br />
you wish.<br />
We know our recipe works, because the world’s<br />
leading travel magazine says we’re best at what<br />
we do. In each of the last two years, Condé Nast<br />
Traveller Magazine readers have voted us 2nd<br />
worldwide in the Best Villa Company category. We<br />
are the leading Tuscany and Umbria operator on<br />
their very prestigious list.<br />
It is always humbling to receive a “well done”<br />
— whether from an independent media giant or<br />
another satisfied Tuscany Now & More customer.<br />

Three Generations<br />
& Thirty Years<br />
When you rent a villa with Tuscany Now & More,<br />
we share experience and knowledge built over<br />
decades. Ever since we began, our business<br />
has been family-owned and family-run. Three<br />
generations created our unique portfolio of Italian<br />
villa rentals.<br />
2020 marks another milestone: our 30th year<br />
together.<br />
When you browse this catalogue or our website,<br />
you can be certain one of us has visited every villa<br />
you see — in fact, it’s likely all of us have. You won’t<br />
find these villas anywhere else. We work together<br />
with the individual owners to create a property<br />
and a stay you will remember forever.<br />
There is no shortcut to the expertise we have on<br />
Tuscany, Umbria and the rest of Italy. It took us 30<br />
years to acquire.<br />

Our Villas<br />
The door is open. Come on in. Wel<strong>com</strong>e<br />
to the exclusive collection of villas from<br />
Tuscany Now & More.<br />
We have spent three decades making<br />
sure our selection of villas is very special<br />
indeed. We inspect the facilities, the<br />
exterior and interior design, of course.<br />
But we also look for something more. We<br />
choose villas which express something<br />
unique about their place.<br />
You can rent a grand Palladian villa<br />
close to the homeland of Palladio.<br />
Converted luxury farmhouses are built<br />
from rustic Tuscan stone, accented with<br />
pietra serena, marble and travertine.<br />
Our seafront properties have panoramic<br />
terraces from Portofino to Monte<br />
Argentario.<br />
At Tuscany Now & More, we pride<br />
ourselves on service refined over 30<br />
years. But it all starts with your house.<br />
“ There is no better way to describe the heart and soul of a house than through the experiences of<br />
those who have stayed there. “<br />

Your Concierges<br />
Renting a beautiful house in Italy should be fun,<br />
not daunting. That’s why we have a dedicated<br />
concierge team to assist with anything that crops<br />
up before or during your trip. Our concierges<br />
can arrange cooks, maids and other extras for<br />
your villa. They also provide invaluable local<br />
knowledge and advice about the practicalities<br />
of travelling in Italy.<br />
From the beginning to the end of your stay, our<br />
concierges are just a phone call or WhatsApp away.<br />
In-house Extras<br />
We can provide chefs, maids, babysitters and<br />
shopping; cooking lessons; and all kinds of extras<br />
directly at your villa.<br />
Every TN&M property is different, so what is<br />
available varies from place to place. Talk to our<br />
concierge team before you travel: they will arrange<br />
everything for you.<br />

Il Cornello<br />
Tuscany Now & More<br />
Collection<br />
What makes a property truly outstanding?<br />
Quality, <strong>com</strong>fort, location, amenities,<br />
aesthetics and maintenance are crucial.<br />
Likewise, hospitality and service.<br />
Beyond our striving for excellence<br />
in all these, what truly elevates the<br />
experience for our clients — and what<br />
defines our properties — is often a single<br />
extraordinary feature. Maybe a stunning<br />
collection of paintings and antiques, a<br />
glorious garden, or a swimming pool<br />
that is a work of art.<br />
The Tuscany Now & More Collection<br />
presents properties we are proud to<br />
represent.

Nobody wants to be the designated<br />
driver when you’re this close to some of<br />
the world’s best wine. Choose one of our<br />

be.<br />

house where you don’t need a car every<br />
day. Families with teenage children, love<br />
the freedom of Italy’s peaceful rural<br />
towns. You can stroll up the road for your<br />
morning cappuccino, or send the kids<br />
to pick up freshly baked bread. Pack a<br />
quick picnic or tickle your appetite with<br />
a pre-dinner aperitif in the town square.<br />
You will experience Italy like a local —<br />
and there’s never a worry about losing<br />
your way home after dinner.
