What a better time to visit northern Italy than when mass tourism is still a few months away. Sure the weather might be touch and go, but for the most part you can look forward to mild and dry days with slightly cooler evenings.
Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and nature. Think of the vineyards: rows of green vines that trained in arrow-straight formations up the rolling hillsides, framed by single files of darker green cypress trees, snaking sandy roads leading to pastel farmhouses and moss-coated castles.
Every inch of this land has been sculpted, first by the elements and then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were always twofold: make the land produce as much as possible, make the land as beautiful as possible. Tuscany enchants us today because it holds together as a region, from the tiniest hamlet to Florence the Magnificent. For the living proof, take a short walk one day along the sides of the Belvedere in Florence: you will leave behind the traffic and suddenly find yourself strolling down quiet lanes bounded by tall stone walls, cypress trees and creamy-colored villas. You could be anywhere in Tuscany, and we dare you not to fantasize about living here.
A visit to Tuscany will allow you to navigate through its many world-famed attractions, but it can also introduce you to some of its lesser-known jewels. A host of colorful outdoor food markets. Spectacular natural parks. A mystery church, an ancient Etruscan mineral spa, a dozen Last Suppers in Florence...... and a thousand narrow farm roads waiting patiently for you to make the wrong turn and find your own secret treasure.
