- Sleeps 10
- #241307
$150 to $200 USD/nightWelcome to Tuscan Sunsets . . . A 5 star luxury villa with 5 bedrooms including 2 masters with en-suites. The premier location and stunning private tropical views set this home apart from the others. Enjoy morning coffee or tea as the water cascades from the spa into the pool and you look out to the tranquil woodlands. Spend the day taking in the nearby Disney or Universal parks, or one of dozens of other Central Florida attractions, then relax with a bottle of wine as you enjoy unforgettable sunsets on the horizon. How about a late night dip in the lighted pool or 104 degree hot tub to put a bow on a perfect vacation day. Pool/spa heat $20 per day + tax. Highly recommended October through May. REVIEWS- Here is what guests of the former owner had to say about this house: The house is excellently positioned for travelling not only to Disney but also to Universal Studios. Only taking maximum 20 mins. To Disney and 30 to Universal as there is very little traffic on these access routes. The house itself has a great view. There are no houses behind you therefore you can see a forest and more often than not animals such as large birds. A very quiet neighbourhood but a short distance to large shopping malls. We were really impressed with this home, every little detail has been thought about. The house is really close to all the required amenities such as supermarkets, main roads, restaurants etc. And of course the theme parks are not far away at all. My kids absolutely loved the pool area, nice big pool and Jacuzzi made for a relaxing stay and being so private with no-one overlooking you made it feel exclusive. If you want luxury for a fair price, look no further. WOW. We have just returned from a wonderful vacation staying at this beautiful home. The pictures really do not portray how spacious it is, they layout was perfect for our two families and with the addition of a huge games room the kids were beyond happy.

10 Things to Do in Orlando Besides Theme Parks
By Donna Heiderstadt
www.fodors.com/news/photos/10-things-to-do-in-orlando-besides-theme-parks
AMERICAN ART MUSEUM: One might assume the largest collection of Tiffany glass in the world would be located in New York, but it's actually in Orlando's Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in historic Winter Park. Over the past half-century, the Morse has amassed some of the most memorable lamps, leaded-glass windows, jewelry, art glass, and pottery by Louis Comfort Tiffany, and in 2011 debuted a new $5 million Tiffany Wing that houses the restored Daffodil Terrace from his Long Island estate as well as 250 art and architectural objects.
KAYAK ECO-TOUR: Rather than a hidden motorized track guiding you through a faux jungle with fake hippos and zebras, exercise your paddling muscles on a kayak eco-tour through mossy, cypress-lined Shingle Creek, the headwaters of the Everglades. Here, you may spot real alligators, bald eagles, and more. The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott at Grande Lakes offer two-hour guided tours twice daily, or experienced kayakers can venture out on their own from Shingle Creek Regional Park.
ORLANDO MAGIC BASKETBALL: Ditch the Magic Kingdom and opt instead for Orlando's NBA team the Orlando Magic. The team, whose most famous alumnus is Shaquille O'Neal, is celebrating 25 years of on-court action in 2014. Basketball season runs from October to June. See the team in action at the Magic's home court—the 20,000-seat Amway Center downtown.
RENOWNED BOTANICAL GARDEN: Harried tourists often overlook botanical gardens but in Orlando it's a shame to pass up the 50-acre Harry P. Leu Gardens. They house more than 1,000 rose bushes (in season from April to January) and the largest collection of camellias in North America (in bloom November through March). Located on Lake Ivanhoe near downtown, the gardens also have a citrus grove and a butterfly garden.
GREAT WINE BARS: With the recent addition of the The Alfond Inn, a 112-room hotel in atmospheric Winter Park, you can stay within strolling distance of several terrific restaurants and a trio of wine bars located along Park Avenue. Sample in various ounce portions and nibble at the Wine Room, offering 156 handpicked wines dispensed by Enomatic machines. Carmel Café & Wine Bar serves more than 50 old and new world vintages paired with Mediterranean small and large plates. Enjoy 70 wines by the glass at Eola Wine Company, which you can pair with wraps, tacos, flatbreads, and more.
WORLD-CLASS SPAS: Whether you're enjoying a romantic weekend or a girlfriends' getaway, take time to get pampered at one of Orlando's world-class spas. Three to try: the luxurious, 24-000-square-foot Waldorf Astoria Spa by Guerlain at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando (known for amazing facials), the Ritz-Carlton Spa at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes (Florida-fresh citrus-based treatments are a specialty), and the Poseidon Spa at the Grand Bohemian Hotel (where you can try a heated shell massage).
SOPHISTICATED SHOPPING: Bring a spare tote or two in your luggage and shop for something a bit more sophisticated than mouse ears. Orlando is home to two major shopping malls, the upscale Mall at Millennia with its roster of luxury brands (including Burberry, Gucci, Jimmy Choo) and The Florida Mall (home to Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and 250 other stores and restaurants). Plus bargain hunters can hit two outlet centers, Orlando Premium Outlets International Drive and Orlando Premium Outlets Vineland Avenue, each are packed with brand-name fashions and home goods at discounted prices.
PREMIERE GOLFING: If golf's your game, you can spend half a day or several days testing your skill on some impressive greens. Orlando is home to the Golf Channel, Tiger Woods, and more than 170 courses, many designed by top names such as Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, and Pete Dye. Top courses include: Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Waldorf Astoria Club, and Grand Cypress Resort.
ORGANIC BREWERY: There are almost 20 ales, lagers, and seasonal microbrews on tap at seven-year-old Orlando Brewing Company—and all the beer is organic! The only USDA-certified organic brewery south of Vermont and east of Colorado is located near downtown, offers free brewery tours Monday to Saturday at 6 pm, and has live music at 9 pm on Friday and Saturday nights.
HIP NEIGHBORHOODS: Get to know two of Orlando's lakeside neighborhoods as you dine at some buzzed-about restaurants. Dine amid surreal modern art at the new Santiago's Bodega in Ivanhoe Village, where bold paintings and interior décor by Robert Henry Thompson pair with a creative small-plate tapas-style menu that's been transported from the original outpost in Key West. Step back to the final days of Prohibition at Cask & Larder, a "Southern public house" (think oysters, curd meats, and lots of beer) in Winter Park from the owners of the celebrated The Ravenous Pig.
