TUSCANY
Tuscany in central Italy is home to dramatic landscapes, and the historic cities of Florence and Siena. It’s a place of art, of delicious local dishes, Chianti wines and hilltop towns that overlook breathtaking and verdant valleys. Tuscany is famous for many things, but of all its qualities, the countryside is perhaps the most remarkable, and remarked upon feature. Whether you are walking the country lanes, or driving the winding road to one of the hilltop towns, its hills, valleys and cypress trees always seem to arrange themselves into an exquisite view. Each one more impressive than the next.
