When one is thinking about planning to get around Tuscany, they may be considering the methods of travel that best allow them to make the most of the famously beautiful scenery of the Tuscan countryside and towns and how to admire them as they move about. Among them, one method of travel that may be less efficient and practical when it comes to getting from A to B but is certainly among the best possible ways to soak up the incredible beauty of this part of the world has to be hot air ballooning!

A magical, whimsical, and utterly romantic way to explore the region if you have found and booked one of our stunning villas with pools in Tuscany, a hot air balloon excursion is a must for those who want to make unforgettable memories. 

Those who book one of our luxury villas in Florence will likely have a long list of tourist attractions to visit and things to see and do while in this magical gem of a city in Tuscany. However, we also recommend just taking the time to walk around and soak it all up. Simply wandering about the city is a delight in its own right because as you explore Florence on foot, you will be able to appreciate and closely admire its grand architecture and artistic treasures from magnificent palaces turned into museums, to its stunning churches brimming with art, to its lush gardens once privately owned by nobles and now opened to the public, to its picturesque piazzas with fountains and statues by famous artists and historic restaurants and cafés. Florence really is a feast for the eyes! And one stunning piazza that really shouldn't be missed during a vacation in Tuscany is the Piazza della Repubblica.

Nestled off the gorgeous coast of Tuscany, the breathtaking island of Elba beckons with its exceptional beaches and unparalleled natural beauty. Renowned as the place of Napoleon's exile, Elba is a paradise boasting diverse and lush flora, fascinating fauna, astounding vistas, and pristine beaches. If you are planning a Tuscan getaway and have secured a holiday rental on the Tuscan Coast, then we cannot recommend a visit to Elba highly enough. A perfect day-trip destination, it is especially ideal if you love to hike...

Tuscany is home to some magically beautiful towns; places that seem almost untouched by the passing of time, historic cores that have been perfectly preserved, cobblestone streets and winding alleys, towering fortresses and glittering churches full of masterpieces, old walls encircling it all, and sweeping views across the famous rolling green hills of the region. Among the many towns that match this storybook description, one of the most stunning has to be Siena. In fact, Siena has much to offer visitors, with lots to see and do, but it also boasts remarkable looks. So, if you are browsing our listings on Tuscany Villas, it is worth considering a villa in Siena and time spent exploring the picture-perfect historic centre of this lovely place.
