TUSCANY LIFE

Tuscany is made of all the best that Italy has to offer: a thousand-year history, a rich culture, craft traditions handed down through generations and, last but not least, food and wine, famous all over the world.

THE AREA

There are so many reasons to visit Tuscany, the beautiful land nestled in central Italy. The essence of this region is contained also in the many small villages, often with a medieval heritage, which spot the surrounding landscape of on-going green hills. Pisa with its leaning tower is famous throughout the world, as well as the Chianti area, known for its wine tradition that produces some of the finest wines. Not to forget the wonderful towns of Florence and Sienna.

RESTAURANTS

There are many resturants, cafès and pizzerias in Tuscany offering traditional typical dishes. If you're looking for an authentic place to eat for experiencing true cuisine and top wines, you've come to the perfect place!

NIGHTCLUBS AND BARS

Tuscany may be overall a traditional and historical region of Italy, it still has everything you need in terms of nightlife. Whether you like to take your night wanderings to cities or like drinking cocktails with your feet in the sand, in any case, Tuscany offers so many options you might have a hard time choosing where your next night out is going to be.
Summer Activities
The best time to visit Tuscany is from April to June and from September to October when the weather is usually at it's best.

ACTIVITIES
Join the only tour that takes you to the Cinque Terre on a one-day hiking trip from Florence, including a boat ride. Sink in to a Tuscany Cooking Class, Market Tour, and Lunch from Florence. Or take part in a Chianti Half-Day Wine Tour from Florence.


YEARLY EVENTS
A popular market, the Fiera della Befana, takes place each year between Christmas and the Epiphany in Piazza Navona in the centre of Rome. Viareggio Carnevale (Carnival), one of the most famous pre-Lent carnivals in the world is held in February (5, 12, 18, 26, 28 February)

  Villa Spotlight: Poggetto Di Montese

Many of our Villa Spotlight articles have focused on the big and beautiful villas in our collection, fit more for large groups or events.  Today we are focusing on a small, lovely and affordable villa that is a perfect fit for a couple traveling through Tuscany.  Poggetto di Montese is just outside of San Gimignano, in fact from the gardens you can see the towers that helped make the city so famous!

Poggetto di Montese, like some of our other villas, is surrounded by expansive olive groves and vineyards. 

The grounds around the house have a gorgeous and well kept garden that provides a pleasant place to spend your evenings, sitting on the patio under the pergola sipping wine.  The house itself is a typical country house made of stone, and restored for modern luxuries.

"The location is wonderful, centrally located for Sienna, Florence, the Chianti region, etc, and only minutes away from San Gimignano. The view from the property's garden of the latter and the surrounding countryside is unbeatable. The family who own it are friendly (even their dog) and give their guests as much privacy as needed."
