Read our guide to 2 bedroom holiday trullis in Puglia

When you mention self catering accommodation in Italy the first thing that springs to mind for many of us is Tuscany holiday rentals. The rolling countryside and gentle pace of life make it a great small family holiday destination, especially when you consider many self catering holiday apartments in Tuscany come with their own private swimming pool and the chance to enjoy some fabulous al fresco dining. A 2 bedroom property makes a great choice for couples too, especially if you are planning a long stay, pursuing some of the excellent outdoor activities on offer, such as diving, horse riding and hiking.

Tuscany holiday rental apartments, set deep in Chianti country, offer you a real chance to soak up the atmosphere of this unique region, with its medieval castles and ancient villages and rich cultural heritage. Choosing a holiday rental apartment in Tuscany close to its Mediterranean coastline puts you near great beaches and some of the country's best diving opportunities. But for most, the idea of Italian farmhouses in Tuscany means relaxing by the swimming pool, enjoying the charming scenery and sampling some of Italy's best food and wine.

A holiday apartment in Tuscany often means a village location and Lucca, a short drive from romantic Florence, with its ancient walled defenses, offers a slice of life little changes by the centuries. For serious culture lovers and couples alike, holiday apartments in Florence offer the chance to enjoy one of the most romantic cities on earth and a great collection of Renaissance art and architecture. Even if it's a short stay, be sure to include a visit to the Uffizi Gallery and Duomo Cathedral where you can view the works of Da Vinci, Machiavelli and Michelangelo.
