Wine-lovers will already have plenty of great reasons to find a villa in Montalcino and come spend some time enjoying the good life in this part of Tuscany as it is the land of Brunello and home to some of the most incredible wineries, bars, wine shops, and other wine-related establishments and businesses and events in all of Italy. However, if delicious wines are not quite enough of a draw for you on their own, then how about truly remarkable wines in the most gorgeous of settings? Montalcino truly is one of the most picturesque parts of Tuscany and it is well worth coming to deeply explore the area in and around the town – all while indulging in some incredible vintages!

Florence is famous as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance but had long been an immensely important hub of cultural heritage and artistic production before this period and continues to be one to this day. As a result, there is no shortage of galleries, museums, architectural gems, outdoor sculptural displays, incredible examples of city planning, street art, historic gardens, and much more besides to discover. However, those who find one of our Tuscany Villas or a villa with pool in Florence and begin exploring the city will also notice the endless churches throughout the city. As the Church was the most important and powerful patron in the city for much of its long and rich history, art-filled places of worship and temples to the majestic artistic prowess of the city can be found wherever you turn. While many, many examples are well worth seeing and it would be hard to take them all in, one of the most remarkable that is a must has to be the Church of Santa Trinita.
