Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius
of man and nature, and often by the combined efforts of
both. Think of the vineyards: rows of baby green vines that
manage somehow to march in arrow-straight formation up the
gently rolling hillsides, bounded by single files of darker
green cypress trees, snaking sandy roads leading to rust-colored
farmhouses and moss-coated castles, symmetrically rounded
hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one
single building.
Every inch of land has been sculpted, first by the elements
and then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were
always twofold: make the land produce as much as possible,
make the land as beautiful as possible. holiday accommodation
Tuscany enchants us today because it holds together
as a region, from the tiniest hamlet to Florence the Magnificent.
For the living proof, take a short walk one day along the
sides of the Belvedere in Florence: you will leave behind
the traffic and suddenly find yourself strolling down quiet
lanes bounded by tall stone walls, cypress trees and creamy-colored
villas. You could be anywhere in Tuscany, and we dare you
not to fantasize about living here.
Our visit to Tuscany will help you navigate through its
many world-famed attractions, but it will also introduce
you to some of its lesser-known jewels. Italy's most skilled
cowboys, for instance. Or a host of colorful outdoor food
markets. Spectacular natural parks. A mystery church, an
ancient Etruscan mineral spa, a dozen Last Suppers in Florence......
