It seems that this year, more than ever, holidaymakers are searching for Tuscany villas within walking distance of restaurants. That may partly be the impact of the pandemic, with people making up for lost time and wanting to eat out rather than dine in. Or it may even be the impact of the huge increase in car hire costs this Summer, as rental companies grapple with the shortage of vehicles and the loss of income over the past 2 years. Or perhaps it’s just a continuation in the trend we had seen pre-pandemic.
Whatever the reason, demand for our Tuscany villas within walking distance of restaurants is higher than ever. So we thought we’d share our favourite villa rentals in Tuscany where you can enjoy a bite to eat without the need to get in the car and drive.
Tuscany villa: Villa San Bastioni
With its incredible hilltop setting, Villa San Bastioni may not, at first sight, appear to be the type of Tuscany villa to be within walking distance of restaurants. However, this stunning 5 bedroom Tuscany villa has the added bonus of being less than a minutes stroll from a fantastic Tuscan restaurant – La Foresteria. Set 400 metres above sea level, the restaurant boasts the same incredible views that the villa enjoys, making it the perfect setting to enjoy a delicious evening meal. The villa itself can comfortably sleep up to 12 guests in 5 modern bedrooms. Its contemporary interior decor contrasts with the much more ancient setting of the property, making this Tuscany villa a rather unique place to stay.
