To Tuscany, the villa-booking website, is offering holidaymakers the chance of any-day arrival during the Easter school break at many of its high-quality, affordable villas and apartments.

To qualify, guests must book a minimum seven-night break – a special nightly price will be available if they wish to extend their holiday further.  

The deal will help families save money on other travel arrangements, such as choosing a cheaper day on which to fly. For example, EasyJet flights from Gatwick to Pisa currently cost £294 per person for Saturday departures on 28 March, returning 4 April. Go Wednesday to Wednesday, 1-8 April, for £242 per person.

With more than 650 properties to choose from, To Tuscany still has good availability on a range of holiday homes this Easter. Discounts of up to 20 per cent also apply to some villas, and all properties have just been moved to a preferential exchange rate, with sterling prices reduced by a further eight per cent across the board.

Here are three top suggestions for great-value holiday homes this Easter:

Gallo 2 (pictured right) is a private two-bedroom villa, sleeping four, in a hamlet less than 30 minutes' drive from Pisa. Set in large gardens, with access to a shared pool, it is available between 4 and 18 April for just £356 per week - £13 per person per night.

Casetta con Vista (pictured centre) is a private two-bedroom villa, sleeping up to five, set amid olive groves and vineyards in the hamlet of Montebuoni. Still available for the Easter fortnight, it's a great choice for families, who share a pool with neighbouring villas, and also have access to a tennis court and lots of open space for children to play in. Price £624 per week – just £18 per person per night.

Molino A Brolio 8 (pictured left), sleeping up to nine guests, is large enough to host two families holidaying together. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom private villa, close to Brolio castle, has large gardens and a fenced off pool for extra peace of mind. Also benefiting from a 10 per cent discount, the villa costs £1,344 for nine people in four bedrooms – or £21 per person per night – during the Easter school break.

To Tuscany is a safe portal through which customers can book at the best price, with no added fees, direct with villa owners. Multiple images and floorplans are available to view for each property to get a real feel for what each villa is like. Plus every page has a column dedicated to what to do and where to go in the immediate area. There is more useful content on the site about activities, from local festivals to mountain-biking routes at http://www.to-tuscany.com/local-tuscany/, and it's possible to select information and tailor-make a printable Tuscany guide at http://www.to-tuscany.com/infobook/.

Notes to editors:

Prices quoted are the total cost for the apartment or villa hire, not per person, and they do not include international travel. To Tuscany is an easy-to-use, online-booking site, which allows customers to book direct with owners yet benefit from the peace of mind of paying through a secure portal. To Tuscany was set up in 1998 by Sean Caulfield, who lives in the region, and is supported by a small team back in England, who are always ready to help with online and phone enquiries.
