The idyllic beginnings of the heart-rending classic film La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful) by Roberto Benigni is purposefully fairytale-like. It is a dreamy love story set in beautiful surroundings, a wonderful and glimmering thing to hold onto when things start to go terribly wrong in the plot. A big part of making this introduction as magical as possible is the setting, Arezzo, and few other places could match the storybook quality as perfectly as this gem of a town. Those who are looking for a villa in Tuscany and a holiday spent in surroundings that seem almost too utterly idyllic to be real will find that a vacation rental in Arezzo is just the thing. If you are looking to really fall in love with Tuscany then, as with being a perfect introduction to the film, this gem of a medieval town is an ideal introduction to this most charming region of Italy.

Florence is famous as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance but had long been an immensely important hub of cultural heritage and artistic production before this period and continues to be one to this day. As a result, there is no shortage of galleries, museums, architectural gems, outdoor sculptural displays, incredible examples of city planning, street art, historic gardens, and much more besides to discover. However, those who find one of our Tuscany Villas or a villa with pool in Florence and begin exploring the city will also notice the endless churches throughout the city. As the Church was the most important and powerful patron in the city for much of its long and rich history, art-filled places of worship and temples to the majestic artistic prowess of the city can be found wherever you turn. While many, many examples are well worth seeing and it would be hard to take them all in, one of the most remarkable that is a must has to be the Church of Santa Trinita.
