EMMA VILLAS - VILLE E DIMORE DI PREGIO IN AFFITTO IN ITALIA
Time to set off again !
Never like this year have we needed to regain possession of the aspect of travel , an aspect which , even before being a " destination " - the action that takes us more or less far from the place where we live – is , for us at Emma Villas , " discovery ", excitement in the search for a place where we can regenerate our energy , optimism in the expectation of getting there , participation in the pleasure of being welcomed .
Travel over the centuries has undergone great changes , becoming the mirror of the evolution of traditions and technological advances . Retracing the history of travel in Italy in great leaps , from the seventeenth-century Grand Tour , made in Europe and Italy by the nobility and , later , by the bourgeoisie , up to the birth of the modern tourist industry and the season of mass use of the large tourist portals , means for us to look to the origins as well as to the present to develop our vocation , our specific identity , aiming for the future with the courage to expand in difficult times as well .
The story of the Grand Tour in Italy is a story full of meanings that has inspired us in developing our company , whose strength comes from deep knowledge of the territory . Travel to Italy , the stay as a human experience of growth and leisure , the planning of an itinerary full of splendid destinations in every corner of the country and an unforgettable stay . From the proximity to those places that were , in the past , the most evocative stages of the Grand Tour - Florence , Siena - we started to build the foundations of Emma Villas , today a leader in the rental of prestigious villas and residences in Italy with over 430 exclusively-managed properties and more than 30,000 clients hosted annually from all over the world .
We did it starting from our " centre ", Tuscany , and then spread out throughout Italy , looking for a new equilibrium in the search for properties , first of all acquiring those that would guarantee our clients proximity and ease in reaching places of art but which , at the same time , would guarantee them immersion in nature .
On the other hand , our era has led us to recover the quality of this equilibrium ; to consider indispensable the privacy and relaxation that only a green area , where the presence of man is not prevalent , can offer . We at Emma Villas have tried to develop , in line with this vision , an offer of villas characterised by the harmony and balance between nature and art in Italy ; we have chosen prestigious places and residences in contexts where this balance is achieved , and have then forged with the owners , whose villas we manage exclusively , long-term collaborations and personal relationships that help us stimulate in our clients , through their stays , the profound experience of the travel and style of Italian hospitality . We search attentively for properties whose beauty and atmosphere can amplify and preserve the travel experiences of those who stay in them . In these 15 years of experience , Emma Villas continues to be increasingly a path in search of villas that generously accompany our guests in the fascinating experience of contact with the nature and art of our country .
We have a privileged observatory on our clients : they can visit , also with the support of our Concierge Team , wonderful cities or natural parks and then relax and enjoy peace and quiet in their villa . Our guests are people who are able to recognise and look for iconic places as well as lesser-known locations that are no less rich in stimuli and wonder .
