Why Tuscany Vacation Rentals Are So Popular

Often described as 'the garden of Italy,' Tuscany is home to a long list of scenic destinations. The area also boasts delectable cuisine, so it's easy to see why people from different countries thousands of miles away travel here and keep coming back. It used to be that tourists had to stay in hotels, but this is no longer the case. A growing number of travelers now prefer Tuscany vacation rentals for their privacy, cost-efficiency, and space.

The best properties put you near the region's captivating natural and cultural attractions so you can cover more things on your itinerary. When you stay in vacation rentals, you also get to experience the everyday life in Tuscany. You get to do what the locals do and experience their warmth in a way that hotel stays cannot provide. Unlike in hotels, vacation rentals have kitchen areas where you can whip up dishes from local produce that you can buy from the farmer's market, where you truly get to interact with local people. And because Italians value hospitality, sharing a heartful meal with the host or getting invited by a neighbor for dinner are certainly not impossible.
