To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most beautiful of this endless list of extraordinary sights to get you started, help you plan your itinerary, and whet your appetite!

1. Siena’s gilded cathedral

As there is no shortage of lovely sights in Tuscany, there is also no shortage of remarkable churches and cathedrals in this part of the world. Those, however, who find a villa with pool in Siena, should definitely make a point to see this city’s glittering Duomo. With its polychromatic stone, intricate carvings, luxurious marble floors, and array of stunning words of art, it is a thing of wonder. 

The recently listed Villa Vico is a remarkable property that boasts a bright and cheerful exterior, a wonderfully equipped garden with a private pool, five bedrooms and five bathrooms (allowing for up to 13 guests), incredibly stylish interiors featuring all of the bells and whistles that you could ask for, and astounding views over the gorgeous surrounding landscape of the Tuscan countryside. For those looking to enjoy luxurious getaways in Tuscany Villas with their family and/or friends, it is an ideal choice!

Located in a private and peaceful spot on a hillside overlooking the lush green valley and towns below, Villa Vico is just 5km (3 miles) from the famous thermal spring town of Montecatini Terme and 38km (24 miles) from the gorgeous medieval town of Lucca. An idyllic escape, this charming stone villa combines wonderful Tuscan traditional details with all sorts of incredible amenities and surprises. Upon arrival, you’ll find a pretty rust-coloured villa with stone accents and a terracotta roof surrounded by a lush garden full of plants and colourful flowers, with lots of terraces and balconies from which to enjoy the views, and a neat garden.

But what events can you expect over New Year's in Florence this year? 

Look, Tuscany is not short on scenic destinations and pretty old towns with stunning historic cores. One of the main things that recommends Tuscany villas and vacations exploring this part of the world is the very fact that is seems like you can take in postcard perfect views no matter where you turn at any given moment. These views have made the region famous from the endless vineyards and delicious wines found in Chianti, to the famous rolling hills found all throughout the region but especially in areas like the Val D’Arno, to the charming medieval towns of Lucca and San Gimignano, to the beloved blockbuster cities like Pisa and Florence. All of these things are worth exploring and seeing with your own eyes, of course, but if you are after those looks and views without the more intense tourist crowds then there are plenty of less well-known areas that are just as gorgeous as their more famous counterparts.
