There are many over-used descriptions associated with Tuscany; rolling green hills, lyrical landscapes, enchanting hilltop towns, iconic cities and incredible food. The thing is, they’re all absolutely correct.Tuscany, in central Italy, is a region of jaw-dropping beauty – to the point of having to pinch yourself to believe it’s actually real. Driving, walking or cycling around its lush countryside of sunflower fields, cypress tree-lined winding pathways and undulating hills is an experience in itself. And that’s before you’ve set foot in any one of its eye-popping medieval hilltop towns or cities. Take Florence – the city of art, with its impressive dome, towers and beautiful architecture. Home to museums of extraordinary renaissance art – check out the Uffizi and from Villa La Borghetta you’ll be there in no time.For other day trips out, discover the amazing cities of Arezzo, Pisa with its leaning tower, the medieval maze of walls surrounding Siena and the beautiful city of towers, San Gimignano. Perhaps wander around the pretty hilltop towns of Cortona and Montepulciano, eating at delightful trattorias, spending long afternoons lazing in their piazzas, soaking up the valley views that stretch out beneath you. Why not visit the renowned Chianti district for a spot of wine tasting, or visit Siena for the famous Palio horse race. Tuscany has to be seen to be believed, and fortunately, from your holiday home at Villa La Borghetta, you have the options of seeing all of these. The hard bit is going to be deciding what to see… Good luck!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
