Read on for a brief description of the areas.
AREZZO E LE SUE VALLI - The area to the North of this provincial capital is mountainous and sometimes remote but intensely beautiful and unspoilt (the Casentino).
CORTONA E LA VALDICHIANA - A great location for general sightseeing. Properties in the Val di Chiana are particularly suitable for first-timers to Tuscany as there is good access to Florence and Siena from here. Cortona, just North of Lake Trasimeno, is an Etruscan town in a spectacular position 600m above sea-level. Below it, the Lake with its sandy beaches, swimming and water sports is the gateway to Umbria.
IL CHIANTI E VALDARNO - The Chianti area between Florence and Siena is of course renowned for its wine production and its classic scenery of rolling hills and cypress trees which has come to typify Tuscany. The area around Florence (Firenze) can also be high up (Pratomagno) and is spectacular in its natural beauty.
LA COSTA MAREMMANA : The coastline, where Tuscany meets the Mediterranean, boasts sunny beaches, pinewoods, thermal springs, hills, slopes and mountains. The island of Elba forms part of the Tuscan archipelago and may be reached in about 30 minutes by ferry.
LA MAREMMA TOSCANA - This covers the area South of Siena towards the sea, an unspoilt landscape unchanged by time. It is a place where nature still rules, where cowboys still work with their herds, and animals and rare species of plants live undisturbed. Cornfields, orchards and olive groves give way to denser woodland and scrub towards the coast.
LA TERRA DI SIENA - The countryside around Siena is varied, with wooded hillsides, vineyards, olive groves and the volcanic peaks of Monte Amiata. Wave-like clay formations called "crete" create landscapes full of hills and ravines.
LA VERDE UMBRIA - Known as the 'green heart' of Italy because of its luxurious vegetation. There are many historical and spiritual sites to visit, e.g. Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi and Gubbio.
ROMA ED IL LAZIO - This is the province which is home to Rome! But the countryside around the Eternal City is beautiful enough to visit in its own right. Lakes, volcanic hills, woods, vineyards and olive groves and of course the prospect of day trips to the capital of Italy await you.
VOLTERRA E SAN GIMIGNANO - Volterra, built on a hilly ridge and surrounded by a double set of town walls, was an Etruscan city and its special atmosphere reflects its artistic heritage. San Gimignano is probably the most famous hilltown in all of Tuscany. Fifteen of its seventy-two towers built during the Middle Ages still remain, giving the town its distinctive profile and the sobriquet ‘medieval Manhattan’.
