Destination Italy - Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the most beautiful and popular tourist destinations in Italy and is located in central Italy, along the Mediterranean coast.

The region is generally hilly and is known for its vineyards and olive groves, with large houses or small settlements scattered around the low hills. Its rich rolling landscape is complemented by towns overflowing with Renaissance art and architecture. The most important river is the Arno, on which Florence and Pisa are situated, although the Tiber also passes briefly through Tuscany.

The main airport into the region is Pisa and from there it is around a 30 minute drive north to the lively seaside town of Forte dei Marmi and 45 minutes east to Florence and Una Poggio dei Medici. All other courses and hotels that we feature lie within these driving distances. Alternatively, Florence has a small airport and there is also Bologna which is only 55 mins drive from Florence.

Tuscany is one of Italy's best wine-producing areas, with Chianti and Montepulciano among its famous products.

Florence is Tuscany's crown jewel, with its beautiful buildings, colourful history, priceless art and unique atmosphere. Tuscany is one of the few Italian regions well-known to foreigners as a tourist destination in itself. For decades a Tuscan villa has been the dream holiday for many travellers. And amongst the vineyards and hills of Tuscany are other lovely historic towns. Montecatini, Una Poggio de Medici and Golf dell Ugolino golf courses all capture the Tuscan spirit and as all are located in the rolling hills. Pisa boasts not just the legendary leaning tower, but also several other attractions.
