| Located
in central Italy, Tuscany is known for its rich history, art,
beautiful landscapes, delicious food, and superb wines.
The beautiful cities of Florence and Siena contain some of
Italy's most famous artistic treasures. Tuscany is also home
to many scenic hill towns.
 Stay
in the historic heart of San Gimignano which is famous for
its thirteen towers or experience life in Cortona, the setting
of the famous best seller "Under the Tuscan Sun"
by Frances Mayes. Visit Pitigliano, a spectacular medieval
town, perched on top of tufaceous rock in the southern part
of Tuscany.
From
the mountains in the north to the gently rolling Chianti Hills
and the barren Crete Senesi, the Tuscan countryside offers
an ideal place to relax with family and friends. Stay in a
villa, beautifully restored
country house, or
apartment in the countryside.
Take a day trip to a city or discover the treasures of a nearby
village or town. Relax by the pool, take a walk along a country
lane with castles and hamlets in the distance, or visit one
of the famous spas located in this diverse region.
 Dining
in Tuscany is a wonderful experience. Start with bruschetta,
an appetizer made with tuscan bread, tomatoes, fresh basil,
and olive oil. Then enjoy homemade pasta with mushrooms followed
by wild boar while sipping local wines. Finish with delicious
homemade tiramisu or panna cotta and locally produced liquor.
