Welcoming You to the Story 

We embrace the traditions of all our beautiful 

properties. Their history may be illustrious, and 

their stones may be old — some are very old 

indeed — but we make you feel like the first guest. 

Twenty-first century comforts are wrapped inside 

each one. Every Tuscany Now & More villa has a 

swimming pool. Most have air-conditioning. And 

our personalized service includes dedicated travel 

concierges, ground staff, and chefs or a maid, if 

you wish. 

We know our recipe works, because the world’s 

leading travel magazine says we’re best at what 

we do. In each of the last two years, Condé Nast 

Traveller Magazine readers have voted us 2nd 

worldwide in the Best Villa Company category. We 

are the leading Tuscany and Umbria operator on 

their very prestigious list. 

It is always humbling to receive a “well done” 

— whether from an independent media giant or 

another satisfied Tuscany Now & More customer.

Three Generations 

& Thirty Years 

When you rent a villa with Tuscany Now & More, 

we share experience and knowledge built over 

decades. Ever since we began, our business 

has been family-owned and family-run. Three 

generations created our unique portfolio of Italian 

villa rentals. 

2020 marks another milestone: our 30th year 

together. 

When you browse this catalogue or our website, 

you can be certain one of us has visited every villa 

you see — in fact, it’s likely all of us have. You won’t 

find these villas anywhere else. We work together 

with the individual owners to create a property 

and a stay you will remember forever. 

There is no shortcut to the expertise we have on 

Tuscany, Umbria and the rest of Italy. It took us 30 

years to acquire. 

Welcome to our anniversary brochure.

Our Villas 

The door is open. Come on in. Welcome 

to the exclusive collection of villas from 

Tuscany Now & More. 

We have spent three decades making 

sure our selection of villas is very special 

indeed. We inspect the facilities, the 

exterior and interior design, of course. 

But we also look for something more. We 

choose villas which express something 

unique about their place. 

You can rent a grand Palladian villa 

close to the homeland of Palladio. 

Converted luxury farmhouses are built 

from rustic Tuscan stone, accented with 

pietra serena, marble and travertine. 

Our seafront properties have panoramic 

terraces from Portofino to Monte 

Argentario. 

At Tuscany Now & More, we pride 

ourselves on service refined over 30 

years. But it all starts with your house. 

“ There is no better way to describe the heart and soul of a house than through the experiences of 

those who have stayed there. “

Your Concierges 

Renting a beautiful house in Italy should be fun, 

not daunting. That’s why we have a dedicated 

concierge team to assist with anything that crops 

up before or during your trip. Our concierges 

can arrange cooks, maids and other extras for 

your villa. They also provide invaluable local 

knowledge and advice about the practicalities 

of travelling in Italy. 

From the beginning to the end of your stay, our 

concierges are just a phone call or WhatsApp away. 

In-house Extras 

We can provide chefs, maids, babysitters and 

shopping; cooking lessons; and all kinds of extras 

directly at your villa. 

Every TN&M property is different, so what is 

available varies from place to place. Talk to our 

concierge team before you travel: they will arrange 

everything for you.

Collection 

What makes a property truly outstanding? 

Quality, comfort, location, amenities, 

aesthetics and maintenance are crucial. 

Likewise, hospitality and service. 

Beyond our striving for excellence 

in all these, what truly elevates the 

experience for our clients — and what 

defines our properties — is often a single 

extraordinary feature. Maybe a stunning 

collection of paintings and antiques, a 

glorious garden, or a swimming pool 

that is a work of art. 

The Tuscany Now & More Collection 

presents properties we are proud to 

represent.

Country Estates 

for Ten or More 

Space is what you need.

gather comfortably, with plentiful seating 

and dining space. You want private spots 

to have a conversation, a quiet read or a 

secret nap. 

Many TN&M properties have separate 

guest houses for families or couples. 

If you have capable cooks in your group, 

a large, well-equipped kitchen is a priority. 

If not, we recommend a fully-staffed villa, 

or contact our concierge team to arrange 

a chef. 

Our concierges can organise a private 

guide for visits to sights, wineries and 

shops, or a traditional Tuscan cookery 

lesson at your villa.
