Lonely Planet has long been a key name in the travel industry when it comes to guides to specific destinations and in highlighting places you should think about visiting. Starting as guidebooks and now a mainstay of internet research ahead of a trip or as a spot for some serious travel inspo, 2024 marks 50 years of the brand.
In this special year, they have highlighted 50 amazing destinations to celebrate 50 years in their annual Best in Travel awards. While it certainly is not news to us, one of the best regions that they have decided to feature is Tuscany! A villa in Tuscany is always a good idea but in order to reiterate our own opinion on the matter, here’s what Lonely Planet had to say and why they decided to choose Tuscany among the regions of the world as one of the best to visit...
One of the things that we always say makes a vacation in Tuscany so appealing is the pace of life and, on this point, Lonely Planet agrees. In fact, they say, “Few places celebrate the slow life or embody la dolce vita like Tuscany.” In particular, they mention the food and the landscape – two of the things for which Tuscany is most famous and certainly make life in the region especially sweet.
However, if you’re looking for specifics, they mention some of the many delights of a holiday in Tuscany including the art offerings in the beautiful hilltop medieval city of Siena, the cinematic good looks of the town that can be admired while wandering and enjoying an aperitivo in Arezzo, and the amazing wines and views that can be taken in while enjoying the gorgeous historic town of Montepulciano.
So, don’t just take it from us (we may be a tiny bit biased): Tuscany remains a perfect holiday destination, even according to the leading travel experts! Browse our Tuscany Villas today and come see it for yourself. You can decide if we are right...
