Useful Tips For The Tuscany Lovers: Holiday Villas And Apartments

When you envision Tuscany you see ancient rows of cypress trees pointing skyward, olive groves and vineyards marking hillsides with row after row of abundant and prized fruit. The beauty of the area and its idyllically perfect landscapes have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. What the Renaissance painters so lovingly and accurately captured in their works is still identifiable 500 years later.

So where do you begin when you have an entire region overflowing with beauty to explore? The launching point for many is Florence. And if you view the city from a holiday villa in the Florence hills you can not help but comprehend how the myriad of artists were inspired to create the great works that are housed within the city’s museums.

Florence is the political and cultural heart of the region. Beginning here will not only allow you to view a huge number of works of art, but also indulge in some world class restaurants and shopping. Quietly sipping Chianti at the end of a day of sight seeing on the terrazzo of a holiday villa, the Florence hills behind you and a stunning vista in front of you is the perfect end to a perfect day.

When you head to the fabulous wine country that yields the region’s most popular wine, Chianti, you will enter a landscape that belongs on a postcard. Ancient vineyards that have been tended by the same families for generations are dispersed throughout the region. Taking a vacation apartment in Chianti allows for a world of wine tasting and agritourism that is unequaled.

Hundreds of years of cultivating the same region and perfecting the techniques yield not only world class wines, but also a hospitality that is second nature. A trip spent in a vacation apartment in Chianti is one that give you memories and photos that will last a lifetime.

Tuscany boasts a host of Medieval towns and rural areas, in addition to Mediterranean beaches that can charm even the most hardened of hearts. From the city of towers, San Gimignano to the nearby Sienna, there is a beauty in both history and architecture that takes hold of the heart and puts a smile on your face.

The vibrance and excitement of the twice annual Palio in the center of Sienna draw crowds of locals rooting for their traditional favorites and tourists from around the world.

Eastern Tuscany lays claim to being the setting for the filming of two of the most popular films set in Italy in the last generation. The Roman established town of Arezzo will look amazingly familiar to fans of Bernini’s “A Beautiful Life.” Just south of Arezzo lies Cortona, where Diane Lane and “Under the Tuscan Sun” spawned a huge growth in Tuscany luxury villa rentals.

Tuscany’s west facing shoreline offers not only unforgettable sunsets and lazy summer days spent bronzing one’s self on the beach, but also Napoleon’s temporary home of Elba Island. Holiday villas in Tuscany are abundant along the shore. Where Viareggio, “the way of the kings” and other seaside playgrounds call to Italians, Europeans and virtually everyone to come dip their toes into the warm, softly lapping waves of the Mediterranean.
