Essential Italy offer quality villa accommodation in some of the most beautiful regions of Italy. Tuscany, Umbria, Puglia, Sicily and Sardinia.

For over 20 years we have been helping discerning travellers discover Italy, offering award-winning service and expert advice to ensure the best possible experience of this beautiful country.

We have been visiting and staying in Puglia for over 20 years and on recent trips have been saddened to see the devastation caused by Xylella. We know how good real Pugliese olive oil is and how important to the society and culture of Puglia. Any small helping hand we can give, is gladly given.
