Located in the center of Italy, it offers culturally interesting cities like Florence or Siena, amazing
landscape, great castle ruins to visit or unrefined towns at the sea. Many traditional Italian dishes also
come from this province, as well as the world-renowned Chianti red wine.
The places where the “Dolce Vita” can be experienced first-hand are small, pristine villages in the inland.
Narrow alleys, old buildings, small trattorias with good food, owners direct Italy with good views and
friendly people can give you a feeling that the time stands still. Also, small farms or vineyards offer great
accommodation and food. There is nothing better than sitting on a small terrace, enjoying the sun, having
a good glass of wine, accompanied by traditional Antipasti.
And if culture is what you are interested in, Florence is definitely the place to go. Having been the cultural
center of Italy for a long time, you can still see today the beautiful architecture and pieces of art and
literature that were made and written by the city’s most famous sons. Even Leonardo da Vinci has worked
in Florence for a long time and is considered one of the greatest artists of his era.
Another approach has been taken at the small village Castelfalfi. After being deserted in the middle of the
20th century, it has been renovated and modernized in order to accommodate guests of every age. Great
golf courses, possibilities for hiking, good food, beautiful farm houses and apartments cater for almost
every wish.
3. Tuscany is definitely a place worth visiting, it is a place to relax, indulge in the tastes of the locally
produced food and drink, enjoy the landscape and just have a beautiful holiday to remember.
