If you’ve been looking for a really magical Valentine’s Day gift and you really want to treat your love and yourself to something special, then we highly recommend planning a romantic getaway for two in Tuscany.

The pretty villages, majestic cities, rolling green countryside, peaceful spa towns, and charming seaside resorts of Tuscany all provide perfectly romantic settings for a trip and are ideal places for just the right atmosphere for your time together. Then, the delicious food and wine that can be found wherever you turn only add another layer of romance! And on top of this? Well, there is an endless list of romantic activities to enjoy while exploring the region! Here is our list of the top things for couples to do once they have browsed our Tuscany Villas and are looking to get sparks flying during an idyllic getaway in this especially stunning part of Italy.

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.

If you are looking to have easy access to the wealth of museums, churches, gardens, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, and other tourist attractions that can be found in the incomparable city of Florence but you still want some space, privacy, and natural beauty all around you and you would prefer to be in the famously lovely Tuscan countryside, then we think that the incredible La Ripresa is the ideal option among our Tuscany villas. 

There is no doubt about it: Tuscany is impossibly picturesque. And the list of places and sights and gorgeous buildings and incredible views and amazing works of art that could be defined as must-sees is truly endless. However, most of us unfortunately do not have entire lifetimes to explore every little thing of beauty in this stunning part of Italy. Despite this, those who browse our Tuscany villas will be able to fit a lot of wonderful sights into a vacation in Tuscany. So, why not book your trip today and get started? 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.
