You’re never short of beautiful Italian regions for a family villa holiday, so why did Harriet Mallinson lose her heart to Tuscany?

The Tuscan countryside subtly seduces at every step. The gently rolling hills, silvery olive groves, glossy emerald vineyards, medieval hilltop villages, and avenues of statuesque cypress trees create the complete picture of Tuscan splendor.

Never thought you could afford to hire out an entire Italian palazzo? You just need a group big enough to spread the costs. Positioned on a hilltop in the rolling Tuscan landscape near Siena, Palazzo Cheto is an exclusive villa formed from a 13th-century monastery.

Tuscany villa holidays are an excellent way to get the whole gang together, whether you’re just one group, multiple families holidaying together, or on a multigenerational getaway.

An ancient villa in the Tuscan countryside provides the perfect place to reacquaint with old friends.

Tuscany greets the visitor with timeless beauty straight from the canvasses of Michaelangelo and there’s no better place to enjoy it than from Palazzo Cheto, says Rod Gilchrist.
