Everyone talks about Tuscany.
But if we were planning an Italy villa holiday today, we’d seriously consider Umbria instead. 🇮🇹
Before you disagree, hear us out.
Umbria has everything people love about Tuscany:
✨ Rolling countryside
✨ Beautiful hilltop towns
✨ Incredible food and wine
✨ Luxury villas with stunning views
But it comes with something Tuscany is increasingly losing...
Space.
Fewer crowds.
Quieter roads.
Less tourism.
More authentic experiences.
You can spend the morning wandering through medieval villages, enjoy a long lunch overlooking vineyards, and return to your villa without sitting in traffic or fighting for restaurant reservations.
It’s Italy at a slower pace.
And for many travellers, that’s exactly what luxury looks like.
Tuscany will always be beautiful.
But if you’re looking for the Italy that feels undiscovered, relaxed and genuinely authentic, Umbria might just be the better choice.
Would you choose Tuscany or Umbria?
