As the continuing economic downturn and strong Euro continue to impact on inbound tourist numbers to many regions of Italy, Cottages to Castles, a leading specialist in Italian vacation villas for 26 years, is experiencing a welcome increase in bookings for their rental properties in Tuscany.

In 2010 so far the company is reporting a 10% increase in bookings for their Tuscany villas as compared to the same period of 2009.

The region of Tuscany has been the most popular destination in Italy for self-catering vacations for decades and has been eulogized in several movies and books but, like many other tourist destinations in Italy, it has suffered from the recent decline in overseas visitor numbers.

However, the regions longstanding popularity, celebrated culture and high quality tourism infrastructure has engendered a market resilience that is unmatched by other areas of Italy – particularly those that have become more fashionable in recent years. Tourist numbers to Tuscany appear to be on the increase again as the region looks set to bounce back in style for 2010.

“Tuscany has always been a perennial favourite with our customer base, but over recent years we have introduced other less well known areas of Italy with great success.” says Jonathan Magoni, Director of Cottages to Castles. “However, when the market started to slow down it was Tuscany that weathered the storm best of all and now, with prices starting to come down, it’s Tuscany that is leading us into what we hope will be a much better year than 2009” says Mr. Magoni.

Cottages to Castles feature nearly 100 self-catering holiday villas in Tuscany with rental prices ranging from around £300 to over £5,000 per week.
