The Wonder and Beauty of Tuscany…..

Tuscany with town of Pienza on hill

Why “Italy Just for You”? As we travel, we find that after we have seen the “required” sights, we keep going back to what we love: a taste of the culture, the countryside, the towns we love the most, the people. Simply, the wonder and beauty of Tuscany!

Notice the town on the hill in the above photo? Are you not just itching to walk the streets, capture the views from the terraces, stop and have an incredible bite to eat, shop and just let yourself enjoy Pienza? Even though we have been there a couple of times we WILL return and visit Pienza again.

After a while, we are finished with museums and churches. We want to relax and savor the people we meet, shop a little, take lots of photos, and always eat marvelous food. We plan trips “just for us”, and we hope we can help you do the same.

What do you really want to do? Do you want to see all the main sights? Do you want to learn to cook from Italian experts? Do you want to shop for the perfect souvenir? Do you want to record photos that can grace your home when you return? Do you want to interact with the culture, the people, and the food of Italy? Ask yourselves these questions and plan your trips accordingly.

We work to keep you informed of the ins and outs of Italy travel, where to stay, what to do and other topics that we have experienced. We will try to keep you updated with the latest posts.

People travel to Italy for the sights of the cities – Rome, Venice, Florence – but the lure of Italy that causes us to continue to return is the romantic wonder and beauty of the countryside of Tuscany.

Not only are the views impressive, as shown above, but the ‘cities on the hills’ are a treasure for shopping, taking pictures, dining at all times of the day and just walking and getting lost. Carve out at least 3-4 days in your itinerary, rent a car and travel to Siena, San Gimignano, Pienza, Monticchiello, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Chianti, and many more that you can find as you move throughout Tuscany and the surrounding areas.

Look over our last 3 Itineraries and the one upcoming in mid-May for planning ideas. Also, follow us from the 10th of May to the 3rd of June with daily ‘dairy’ posts of our adventures.

While you experience the adventure in Tuscany, you also will never forget the sights, sounds, tastes, shopping and the culture of the ‘big 3’, Rome, Venice and Florence.
