Thinking of renting a holiday home? Or buying one to rent?
Villa in Umbria
Umbria, also called the ‘Green Heart of Italy’, is the landlocked region next to Tuscany, a popular holiday destination. Rolling hills with vineyards and olive trees, the fourth largest lake in Italy and a serious mountain range combine to make for a rich and varied landscape. It also has beautiful medieval villages and towns with a variety of shops, souvenirs, top wines and excellent restaurants.
Villa in Umbria offers a wide range of holiday homes. We live here and know the region well. Have a look at our website or contact us for more information.

Invitation to Tuscany
When booking a villa for your family holiday, it’s reassuring if you can talk to somebody who has been there before. That’s what we guarantee at Invitation to Tuscany: we personally visit and inspect every property that we represent. Any prospective properties have to go through our selection process and our first and most important check is a basic rule: would we be happy to stay there ourselves?
If we would, we’ll go and visit the property and the area. We inspect, and we make sure standards are met. But more than that, we get the feel of the land, we meet the owner, we check the facilities, the nearby restaurants, we look at the view. That way, when you ask us how near the closest village is, or how to pick up your car hire at the airport, or who makes the best Aperol spritzers, we’ll cast our minds back to when we were there, rather than firing up google maps. It’s the next best thing to flying out to check on it all yourself!
In addition to that, our free concierge service means that, should you wish to organize a wine-tasting tour, a chef, or to have cookery lessons in your holiday home, you only have to ask. We’ve been doing this since 1982, so we’ve got it covered.

Country Tours
Palazzo Cinotti is an historical residence dating to the early 16th century, located in a palazzo in the centre of Siena, between the Duomo and Piazza del Campo. It welcomes visitors who love style and want to experience Siena in the most authentic way possible.
The Palazzo has three comfortable, sunny apartments, ideal for couples and families, and endowed with every comfort for a home-from-home experience: kitchen, bathroom with shower or Jacuzzi, washing machine, air conditioning, TV and Wi-Fi access. Inside, the entrance hall and its ribbed vault with spurs is particularly stunning, as are two Renaissance travertine portals and two paintings, frescoes with mythological subjects, on the ceilings of two rooms on the first and second floor.
There is plenty here to warrant protection under the law safeguarding artistic and historical assets. The impressive ashlar-work and the white travertine window frames standing out from the red terracotta walls are an echo of Sienese mannerism.
Palazzo Cinotti offers a concierge service, private transfers, “made-to-measure” wine and gourmet tours such as Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Valdorcia and many others, for a real taste of Tuscany! Car valet service on request.
