In Tuscany

Between cities of art and nature

From the Farmhouse Il Villino, located in the heart of the Chianti region, you can easily reach many of the most renowned tourist destinations in Tuscany: art cities such as Florence, Siena, Pisa and authentic "pearls" of medieval history such as San Gimignano and Monteriggioni. Take a trip by bike or car in the hills of the "Gallo Nero" area, to discover small towns like Castellina in Chianti, Montefioralle or Panzano.

Florence

Florence, the cradle of Reinassance, is the capital of Tuscany and boasts many masterpieces of reinassance art and architecture: one of the most famed places is the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with the dome designed by Brunelleschi, the Baptistery and the Giotto's Belltower. In the Academy Gallery is exposed the David of Michelangelo, while in the Uffizi Gallery are exposed paintings and sculptures of worldwide fame.

After crossing Ponte Vecchio it is possible to admire Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Garden, while from Piazzale Michelangelo you can enjoy a beautiful panorama on the entire city.

Pisa

Birthplace of Galileo Galilei, Pisa is renowned for its iconic Leaning Tower. Already tilting when it was completed in 1372, the 56m white-marble cylinder is the bell tower of the Romanesque, striped-marble cathedral that rises next to it in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Also in the piazza is the Baptistry, whose renowned acoustics are demonstrated by amateur singers daily, and the Camposanto Monumentale cemetery.

The embankments of the Arno River, which runs through the city, are lined with elegant aristocratic palaces and medieval churches, such as tiny Santa Maria della Spina. Stylish, pedestrianized Corso Italia is the main shopping street. Many restaurants specialize in hearty Tuscan cuisine, while the nightlife scene is popular with students of the prestigious University of Pisa.
