A holiday haven away from the stresses of working life back home… Dining al fresco on delicious local produce… Basking in the sunshine amid breathtaking scenery… It’s not surprising that more and more people from outside Italy are choosing to invest in a property in Tuscany, whether that means renovating a ruin or buying a fully refurbished villa with all mod cons.

They buy their property to enjoy themselves getting away from it all. But the sad fact is that owning any property, anywhere means dealing with administration, maintenance, bureaucracy. There’s no getting away from these chores when you’re at home. But they’re the very first thing you want to get away from if you’re trying to relax in your Tuscan holiday property.
