TRADITIONAL TUSCAN VILLAS IN ITALY
Tuscany is the hilly rural countryside of Italy that is bewitchingly beautiful with its laid back atmosphere and rolling ridges clothed in remarkably neat rows of vineyards and olive groves. The rural roads lead through chains of medieval villages, ancient cities and atmospheric monasteries and castles. The locals never seem to be in a hurry and between all the wine tasting sprees and pasta sampling. Adapting to this slow motion pace of life seems to come very easily on a holiday in Tuscany.
If you want your holiday to capture all the attributes that you have only heard of about Tuscany, then a rustic farmhouse converted into a villa will give you a different kind of experience. The traditional Tuscan villas are often located in fairytale settings overlooking the vineyards and have spacious grounds that allow for certain facilities such as swimming pools and even tennis courts.(Image by Marc Heurtaut)
Staying in a villa in Tuscany gives you the opportunity to really make the most of the local markets where farmers set up their stands with their local produce. You will find a wide range of ingredients including meats, cheeses and fruits and vegetables and you will be captivated by the tantalizing spells and magnificent colours of all the fresh food on offer. Once you have picked up your ingredients you can head back to your villa and crack open a bottle of fine Italian wine before you cook up a storm for your loved ones. Most of the Tuscan villas are set in wonderful grounds where there is outdoor furniture for you to enjoy your food whilst soaking up incredible views. Not only will you get a taste of Tuscan cuisine but also mouthfuls of Italian culture if you stay in a traditional Italian villa.
