Lonely Planet has long been a key name in the travel industry when it comes to guides to specific destinations and in highlighting places you should think about visiting. Starting as guidebooks and now a mainstay of internet research ahead of a trip or as a spot for some serious travel inspo, 2024 marks 50 years of the brand.

In this special year, they have highlighted 50 amazing destinations to celebrate 50 years in their annual Best in Travel awards. While it certainly is not news to us, one of the best regions that they have decided to feature is Tuscany! A villa in Tuscany is always a good idea but in order to reiterate our own opinion on the matter, here’s what Lonely Planet had to say and why they decided to choose Tuscany among the regions of the world as one of the best to visit...

If you are planning a family reunion, or a once-in-a-lifetime getaway with all of your loved ones, or want to get the old gang back together then a large villa in Tuscany is a great idea!

There is a list of the official prettiest towns of Italy, I Borghi più Belli d'Italia, a title that is formally bestowed on the cleanest, best-preserved, most charming, and most quaint towns and villages all across the country. Tuscany, known to be an especially pretty region, is home to many of the big-hitters on this list with twenty-nine entries in total hailing from Tuscany alone. It is, therefore, quite hard to name one example as the uncontested prettiest town in Tuscany.
