Italian Town and CountryRanked in Most Glamourous

Italian Town and Country

About the Winner

A few years back, Italian Town and Country was born from a passion for travel to Tuscany. After almost 30 years in the construction industry, John Ferrari suddenly realized that he was not passionate any longer about construction. He quit and he and his wife, Michelle, decided to create a Tuscan villa rental agency together.

Wouldn't you love handing out your business card if this were your business? Among the most beautiful and storied places on earth, the Ferraris have created a very successful Tuscan villa rental agency that's all about living true to their dreams and doing it with the style and magic of beautiful Italy.
