About Tuscany & Florence, Italy

Tuscany’s long, hot summers add to the wealth of attractions, and the beaches at Lake Massaciuccoli, Livorno and Elba make this a wonderful sunshine holiday spot. From the marble quarries of Massa-Carrara, revered by sculptors of the Roman empire, Michaelangelo and Henry Moore, to the grand charms of Lucca and the sunflower fields of Maremma, Tuscany is unbeatable for independent and self-catering breaks.

The regions of Tuscany

Florence, the city of flowers and jewel of the renaissance, is capital and the heart of Tuscany. Art treasures beyond compare line the galleries of the Uffizi, and the walls and vaulted roofs of the Duomo. Outside the great city on the Arno is a splendid countryside of Italian rural bliss. Cypress trees peek over the ridges and hills of sweeping landscapes, where romantic hillside towns are heralded by extraordinary towers erected by Tuscan nobility to assert their status.

Medieaval cities like Siena and Pisa unfold treasures of architecture and art. Walking and cycling are delights, and Tuscany is incomparable for a holiday drawing, painting or photographing.
