Florence's "Wine Windows"
A Whimsical Tale of Tuscany's Vinous Legacy
Tuscany & Florence Villas
Essenza’s Tuscany collection spans over 150 personally inspected luxury villas — from restored Chianti estates and Val d’Orcia farmhouses to private Florence residences with Duomo views. Every property is chosen for its character, setting and standard of service. Daily housekeeping and private chef services come as standard across the collection.
As Italy-only specialists with deep roots in Tuscany, we go well beyond villa rental. Our dedicated Trip Planners arrange private winery visits in Brunello and Chianti, skip-the-line gallery tours in Florence, truffle-hunting expeditions, cooking classes, chauffeured drives through the Val d’Orcia and more — all with trusted local partners we have worked with for years.

Our Tuscan experiences
Tuscany is Italy’s most sought-after villa destination — a region where Renaissance cities, world-class vineyards and the rolling countryside of the Val d’Orcia sit within easy reach of one another. Florence, Siena, Lucca and the hilltop villages of Chianti provide the cultural anchors; between them, the landscape is defined by cypress-lined roads, olive groves and estates that have been producing wine for centuries.
Our curated Tuscany portfolio covers the full breadth of the region: family-friendly farmhouses near Montepulciano, exclusive estates in Chianti with private vineyards, historic villas within walking distance of Lucca’s walls and elegant Florence properties for a city-and-countryside combination. Every villa has been personally visited by our team, and our local network of private chefs, guides and drivers ensures your stay goes beyond the ordinary.
