Elegant Italian villas are one of the iconic images of the country. From the medieval farmhouses in Tuscany to the cliff-side terraces at the Amalfi Coast, one can find a villa that matches one’s vision of the perfect Italian holiday.

Italy villas are mostly apartments and houses for rent where tourists stay. There are lots of these villas available in just about every city in Italy. Designs of the villa are also distinct with the different regions of Italy.

In Tuscany, particularly in the medieval hilltowns of Siena and San Gimignano, villas are designed like houses in the medieval period, complimenting the atmosphere of being transported back in time.  Villas in the Amalfi Coast, on the other hand, are designed to include a great view of the picturesque coastline of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Luxury, meanwhile, is the equivalent of the villas in Sicily that matches the elegance of the city and the serene view of the sea. Magnificent villas are lined up in Lombardy that definitely suits the province of the aristocrats.

Some of the historic and artistic heritage villas made by Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio and are found in the Veneto region. Palladio’s five important villas are the Villa Barbaro in Asolo which was built in 1558, Villa Cornaro in Piombino Dese built in 1552-53, Villa Emo in Fanzolo di Vedelago built during 1559-65, Villa Foscari or La Malcontenta in Venice built in the 1560s, and the Villa Almerico or La Rotonta in Vicenza which was completed in 1580 after Palladio’s death.
