Tuscany

Among Hills, Art and Timeless Villages

There is one word that best describes Tuscany: harmony.
Harmony of landscapes, flavours, architecture and silence.
For centuries, this region has been the beating heart of the Italian imagination: hills shaped like brushstrokes, cities that feel like open-air museums, and villages suspended between history and poetry.

Tuscany is a place to be lived slowly, with all the senses. It is the scent of autumn must, the sound of the wind through cypress trees, the light that caresses the stone of Renaissance squares.
Every corner tells a story of beauty, creativity and nature, weaving past and present with the grace of a living painting.

Places to Discover

Florence: The Heart of the Renaissance

Florence is a city you don’t just visit — you experience it.
Walking through its streets means moving within the history of Western art: Brunelleschi’s dome dominating the skyline, masterpieces by Michelangelo and Botticelli at the Uffizi, the perfect geometry of Palazzo Vecchio.
Every view is a fragment of genius, every stone holds the mark of those who redefined beauty itself.

But Florence is not only monuments. It’s also artisan workshops, historic cafés, markets filled with leather and spice, alleys scented with wax and wood.
At sunset, from Piazzale Michelangelo, the city stretches beneath a golden glow — an unforgettable panorama suspended between the Arno River and the gentle melancholy of passing time.

Siena and San Gimignano: The Medieval Soul

If Florence represents Renaissance grace, Siena is the voice of the Middle Ages.
Its shell-shaped Piazza del Campo has hosted for centuries the Palio — a horse race that is ritual, identity and passion all at once.
Gothic façades, warm brick tones and soaring towers tell a story of civic pride and independence.

Not far away, San Gimignano rises with its thirteen medieval towers — a memory of mercantile power and noble ambition. Known as the “Medieval Manhattan”, it preserves a silent, vertical charm.
From its terraces, you can gaze over the Tuscan countryside dotted with vineyards, olive groves and Romanesque chapels, in a landscape that feels painted by a 14th-century artist.

Pisa and Lucca: Elegance and Balance

Western Tuscany speaks with a quieter voice, yet no less captivating.
Pisa, with its famous Leaning Tower, is far more than a postcard icon. The Piazza dei Miracoli, with its Cathedral and Baptistery, is one of the purest expressions of Italian Romanesque art.
Along the Lungarni, the city reveals its cultured and luminous soul — elegant palaces, historic bookshops and an atmosphere shaped by its university spirit.

A few kilometres away, Lucca welcomes visitors with composed elegance.
Its perfectly preserved Renaissance walls enclose a lively centre of intimate squares, stately palaces and artisan boutiques.
Walking or cycling along the green ring of the walls is a simple yet unforgettable experience — a dialogue between city, nature and time.

Val d’Orcia: A Landscape that Enchants

The Val d’Orcia is perhaps the most recognisable image of Tuscany — the one the whole world associates with the dream of Italy.
Golden hills, rows of cypress trees, solitary farmhouses and ever-changing light that transforms with every hour of the day.
It is a land suspended between nature and art, where landscapes become visual and spiritual emotions.

Villages such as Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano and Bagno Vignoni guard ancient traditions and refined taste.
Here, time moves slowly: a glass of Brunello is savoured, ceramic workshops are explored, and the sun is watched as it sets behind the hills — a daily ritual of serenity and beauty.

Every sunset in the Val d’Orcia is a lesson in natural harmony — a moment that reconnects you with the rhythm of the world.

Maremma and the Tuscan Coast: The Breath of the Sea

From the Maremma to the Gulf of Baratti, from the Argentario coast to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, the region reveals its wilder, more authentic side.
Here, the sea meets pine forests and the hills plunge into the water in a sequence of still-unspoilt landscapes.

Villages such as Castiglione della Pescaia, Talamone and Capalbio tell of a different Tuscany — one made of wind, sand, nature and light.
It is a land of coastal paths, nature reserves and secluded coves where time seems to stand still.
Perfect for those who love direct contact with nature, or for those seeking a place where silence becomes sound.
