Ever since Mediaeval times the Italians have been designing wonderful living spaces and village, town and city squares. The architecture and the arts flourished in Tuscany, particularly in Florence, in the Renaissance and the Italians are renowned for their stylish clothes and cars. They also love comfort and Tuscan villas which are rented to holiday makers attest to this. You might think that a renovated farmhouse would be a little Spartan but you would be wrong, as a glance at the interiors of some of the farmhouses and villas to rent will demonstrate. Italian style is manifest in the interior design of Tuscan villas and there are architectural gems which have been lovingly restored, ready to offer luxurious accommodation to the discerning holiday maker. Some have swimming pools while others are close to a beach; others are in the towns or cities of Tuscany and some have magnificent views of the Tuscan countryside.
