If you have found a luxury villa in Siena and are looking for somewhere to grab a cup of tea and a cake or, maybe, something a little stronger, then there is definitely one spot that you need to hit up in the city: the Tea Room.
An incredibly popular and cool spot that is favoured by locals in the know, it is located near Piazza del Campo, in a hidden corner of Piazza del Mercato, right in the very beautiful historic centre of the city. Opened in 1985, it is a great social hub that serves up to 100 types of tea, in addition to infusions, hot chocolates, wine, beer, cocktails, cakes, desserts, treats and more.
There are lots of wine producers and wineries based in Tuscany. In fact, one is completely spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a place to go and learn about wine-making, tour a vineyard, and sample some delicious Tuscan wines. However, among these incredible, and often historic, wineries, a newer generation and batch of different and more innovative establishments have cropped up in the last decade or so. One example of such a place is the lovely Frank & Serafico winery, located in the heart of the Maremma. If you have found a vacation rental in the Maremma and are looking for a wonderful foodie experience, it is an ideal choice.

Tuscan Coast
Isola di Capraia – or, simply, Capraia – is a small island located off the coast of Tuscany that is a protected national park status and unspoiled natural gem that is abundant in wonderful views, perfect for adventure and rich in wildlife. If you have found a holiday rental on the Tuscan Coast, it is well worth planning a day trip to this lovely mass of land to explore, soak in the natural beauty and get far, far away from real life.

The Enoteca La Fortezza is an incredible wine shop and wine bar in the Tuscan town of Montalcino and is one of the first to have been established in the town. Founded in 1980 by Mario Pianigiani and Marzio Giannelli, it is located directly inside the main tower of the medieval fortress of Montalcino and, as a result, is not only an excellent store but is also a scenic and picturesque spot to grab a drink. Montalcino itself is famous as a wine producing town and is a perfect location for foodies and wine-lovers planning a trip to Tuscany. Just browse our luxury villas in Montalcino and get to organising a perfect, food-and-wine-filled holiday.
Mario and Marzio were ahead of the curve and established their business time when there were no more than 30 producers of Brunello di Montalcino, the town's famous wine. Today, it is an international name and powerhouse and the business has gone from strength to strength. The store was bought over by Fabio Tassi in 2002, who continued to build the brand enthusiastically and the store is now a landmark.
