Our Tuscan experiences
Tuscany has two very diverse faces – the first one is characterized by inspiring culture and art found in cities such as Florence, Siena, Lucca and Pisa, the second the immaculately cultivated countryside of the region, with elegant hill top villages and medieval castles.
The triangular region of Tuscany encompasses 23,000 sq km (9,900 sq miles) with a long coastline bordered by the Tirenian Sea, a varied hilly terrain and the second largest lake area after the Northern Lakes. Tuscany is also Italy’s most thermal region with the greatest number of natural hot water spas.
