Coastal villa in Greece overlooking the sea
Italy / Tuscany
 
THE AREA
Italy / TuscanyIn this list we give examples of various types of property in the most varied and beautiful region of Tuscany which includes the city of Florence, world famous for its architecture and wealth of cultural interests including the magnificent collection of paintings in the Uffizzi Museum and many fine churches and buildings; the ancient city of Siena perched on three hill-tops; many hill-top villages such as San Gimignano with its stark towers dominating the village; and the lovely Chianti country of hills, vineyards and deciduous pine forests.

This is an area for permanent residence, rural holidays or viewing of a great range of cultural interests. Even for the holidaymaker wanting seaside resorts such as Pisa with its leaning tower, Viareggio and Forti dei Marmi, there is a wide choice.

Tuscany, home of Dante, Giotto and Michaelangelo, hardly needs an introduction. The landscape of cypresses, vineyards and wooded hills picked out with hill towns and farmhouses, has changed little since Medieval times. Tuscany forms a triangle, stretching from the Tyrrhenian sea in the West to the foothills of the Appenines in the East. The landscape varies from wide Marcmma hills, where cattle are still herded on horseback, to the oak woods and vineyards of Chianti and on to the baked and crumbling clay "crete" of the Val D'orcia in the South and the hills of the Mugello in the North, birthplace of Giotto and home of the Medici.

The coast stretches from Mont'Argentario to Viareggio, mostly sandy beaches backed by pine woods, punctuated by occasional rocky headlands and fishing ports.
 
ACTIVITIES
There is skiing in the Apuan Alps North of Florence and on Mont'Amiata on the edge of the Marcmma. In the spring and autumn, Tuscany is good for those who enjoy walking and riding is available for most areas.

Golf is played at Ugolino, near Florence and at Castelfalfi and on Elba. Every hill town may contain an unexpectedly lovely church or a masterpiece by "Ignoto da Siena".
