Tuscany
Here is a region of Italy which much to see.
From beaches, hills covered with olive groves, mountains and cypresses trees and endless vineyards.
We have probably travelled in this region the most. We can always return to Tuscany and find a small place to stay and relax.
So when you tell your friends that you are going to Italy, and they ask you if you are going to "do Tuscany"; the reply is more that you are probably going to see a small section of it, one trip at a time. After almost 20 years of travelling in Italy we can still go back to parts of this region and discover something new.
As reported in the May 2008 Trvel + Leisure article on Tuscany, make time to travel the strade bianche, the white roads, as they often give you the best experience.
Through our various journeys we have criss-crossed across much of this region. We will keep working on adding information to region.
When you tell someone you have been to Italy, often the first question is: What did you think of Tuscany? Although there is so much to see that is to different across the country, Italy and Tuscany seen to be combined in the minds of many.
This is one of Italy's world famous regions. You will find eye-catching landscapes -- green hills, lunar like appearances near Siena, golden browns, mountains and the sea. There are endless towns, museums, cathedrals, buildings, streets to fill up many vacations. All around are ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins. Bring lots of film!
