Tuscany

New for Summer 2012, we are very proud to introduce to our portfolio of luxury holiday destinations, the beautiful region of Tuscany in Italy.

Stunning Landscapes and Rolling Hills

Tuscany is renowned for its stunning landscapes of rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards; a warm sunny climate in the Summer months, and also for its rich artistic legacy, where Tuscany is widely regarded as the true birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Dante, Botticelli, Michelangelo and Leonaro da Vinci, to name but a few, are some of the influential people in the history of arts and science that have made their home in the region. Tuscany also has a unique culinary tradition with season driven cuisines and famous wines (the most renowned of which include Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino).

Lots to do

In addition to the stunning scenery and the tranquil, relaxing environment that the Tuscany region affords, there is always plenty to do with your family and friends! Practice your Italian cooking, wine tastings in the fabulous Chianti vineyards, walking in the hills and olive groves, swimming in your private pool, bicycle rides, tennis, golf, visits to the beautiful local villages, and not forgetting trips to the magnificent cities of Florence and Siena, both of which are steeped in history and tradition.

Lots to eat and drink

And one of the great holiday experiences when staying at a villa in Tuscany is to have a private dinner cooked for you by your house keeper (where applicable) or by one of the fabulous local gourmet chefs. It has to be said that Italian home cooking really is second to none, with the use of tasty seasonal and local ingredients and complimented by a glass (or two!) of the fine local wines. You can spend many a fine evening relaxing at your villa with your family and friends, enjoying the fine food and the stunning scenery long into the Summer evenings.
