For over 25 years Traditional Tuscany has been offering an outstanding selection of carefully chosen self catering holiday villas, cottages and apartments to rent throughout Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio and Le Marche in Italy. These are holidays for the interested and independent traveller and from our holiday villas, cottages and apartments you can have a very ‘Italian' holiday, experiencing a characteristic and authentic way of life.

Our accommodation is wide-ranging, from the wonderfully historic palazzo near Montepulciano to traditional tuscan farmhouses, luxury Italian villas, apartments and cottages through to elegant spas, family run bed & breakfasts and friendly country house hotels. We have built up a great reputation over the years for personal, reliable and friendly service, we know the houses and their owners well and we are always happy to talk over any aspect of your holiday with you.

There are so many books and guides for Italy that it can be difficult to make an informed decision on which books to choose. Sometimes the best way to narrow things down is to see what other people recommend... we've listed a few of our favourites on our web site at Traditional Tuscany but with such a huge choice on offer we decided to create a Little Book Shop of Italian goodies that you can browse at your leisure. Powered by Amazon browsing is safe, easy and fun and if you find something interesting you can read reviews from others who have purchased the books, something we always find very helpful!
