Holiday Rentals - a Tuscan Escape
There’s something very special about Tuscany. Not only does the region abound with incredible history, delicious local produce and no less than six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but it also exudes a very special charm. A sort of intangible elixir - a sense of well-being. One deep breath of Tuscan air and it feels like you’ve arrived home. Holiday rentals here are the real deal.
That feeling pervades in the historical cities themselves – Florence, Siena and Pisa. It’s difficult not to get caught up in the architecture of the region – from the austerity of the Duomo di Siena with its chastising papal gargoyles, to the Gothic lines of Florence’s central edifices. It’s living history – find holiday rentals in the depths of the cities and you will get a true taste.
For the real magic to work though, you need to leave the bustling centres for the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. It’s here that you’ll find the pearls of the region such as San Gimignano and the Val D’orcia. It’s here that you’ll stumble across holiday rentals in secluded olive groves and abandoned monasteries. It’s here that you’ll forget about the real world.
And it’s not that difficult to discover this little bit of Eden for yourself. There are many holiday rentals available to hire in the region – whether you want a hilltop olive farm with stunning views across Tuscan countryside or a romantic stone cottage backing onto fields of sunflowers – you can find your perfect holiday rentals hideaway. Once you’ve found it though, you just might not want to come back…

Treading Grapes: Walking Through the Vineyards of Tuscany $14.93 Enjoy an informative wine-tasting experience while walking the enchanting hillsides of Tuscany. A working knowledge of wine has never been more sought after, and what better place to acquire it than Tuscany which offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe. Over fifteen months of changing seasons, author and wine master, Rosemary George, explores the countryside and vineyards of the region on foot, visiting wine producers along the way, observing and savouring the local colour and idiosyncrasies of a myriad of winemakers. Each chapter will feature a walk through a wine region and includes advice on the key estates, places to visit and favourite restaurants. She notes the changing face of Tuscan viticulture in recent years with the development of the vineyards of the Maremma, bringing a host of new wines. Treading Grapes charts this wonderful renaissance of Tuscan wines, not just of Chianti, but also the newer prestigious wines such as Sassicaia and Ornellaia in the rising area of Bolgheri. It also covers the older wines of Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and others including the island of Elba. Wine enthusiasts and armchair travellers alike will enjoy walking through the vineyards of Tuscany in Treading Grapes. |
