For centuries, Tuscany has charmed any "outsiders" with its timeless beauty, which in full display in the images, films, photo galleries and social profiles across the world, is known to travelers everywhere. Landscapes that are a parade of hills, valleys, and highlands all the way to the sea, ever changing with the changing of the seasons, passing from the triumph of summer and the immense expanses of sunflower fields everywhere, to the warm shades of autumn, when the leaves bring in their romantic, melancholic tones. Our tour in the discovery of the wonders of Tuscany can only start from Florence: a couple of days in the city of Dante are a must, there are so many things to do and see. After having filled the spirit with the beauty of Florence, you are ready to discover the Tuscany of villages, vineyards, countryside, and the many DOC and IGP products that you will meet along the way.

The Medici Villas, on UNESCO’s World Heritage list since 2013, which offer a unique opportunity to discover the legendary Tuscany.

The city blends with the Alpines along a string of fascinating and mutating sceneries, where outlines in white – of both mountains and extracted marble – have shaped the history and fate of this place. As an ancient Roman colony, Carrara was quick to be conquered, for the important fact of its marble quarries. But the centuries of domination never softened that rebellious aspect of Carrara’s people, who long have been known for the anarchical characteristic of their quarrymen, and for a knowing preservation of dialectical and cultural fusion into one, united tradition.

Considered the ideal city of the Renaissance, it was built on the wishes of Pope Pius II, who was born in this area to parents who were members of a noble Sienese family. Recognised as a Unesco site in 1996, it is a marvellous testimony to the urban standards of the Renaissance: the rational organisation of its spaces and the unparalleled perspectives of its 16th-century squares and palaces captivate the visitor's gaze.

This is Val d'Orcia, included in 2004 in the UNESCO World Heritage List. A unique encounter of art and nature, rich in evidence of the past, with a natural landscape redesigned during the Renaissance to reflect the ideals of 'good government' in the Italian city-state.

Saturnia, near Gosseto in Tuscany, is considered the best spa in the world and is therefore a traditional destination for wellness tourism which accounts for countless visitors. Saturnia, resting on the high part of the plain within the Albegna Valley, dominates the magical environment of the inland area around Grosseto: think tuff landmasses, gorgeous green expanses, and typical Tuscan countryside roads offering panorama after panorama of the region's immense beauty. Founded by the Pelasgians and successively dominated by Romans, Longobards and the Sienese, today Saturnia still boasts traces of the past – remains of its Sienese, Etruscan and Medieval walls, the Castellum Aquarum (cistern) of Poggio Murella and the archaeological area, with finds from both the Etruscan and Roman ages. ana.
