Italian Country Estates - Colognole, Florence East, Tuscany

Traditional Tuscany's Country Estate pages allow you to view any of our Italian properties that have two or more self catering apartments on site as a whole. This way you can see under the 'accommodation' heading how many apartments are on a particular estate and how many people those apartments will sleep. The self catering apartments listed under the 'accommodation' heading all have clickable links to take you directly to an individual description of that accommodation along with its current availability.

These pages are especially useful for family groups who are perhaps looking for one or two apartments on a larger estate, for couples who are looking for smaller estates with only two or three properties maximum or for larger parties who are perhaps planning a reunion or wedding. 

If you are specifically looking for an villa or apartment in Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche and Lazio and want to search by date availability or number of bedrooms etc, you can use the drop down menu in the Property Finder and select 'villas and apartments' for self catering apartments with a shared swimming pool or 'private villas' for a selection of independent villas with private pools.
