Halfway between Rome and Milan lies a not-so-humble region overflowing with fine wine, rolling hills, picture-perfect coastline and world-famous gelato. Home to Michaelangelo's David and the leaning tower of Pisa, Tuscany is a hot spot for travellers looking to dabble in art, culture, adventure and fine food. Whether you're heading to Florence for a city break, wine-tasting in the Tuscan countryside or enjoying a family holiday at one of the many exclusive beach clubs and resorts, Tuscany will have something to satisfy the appetite of every traveller. Rent some wheels (red Vespa, anyone?) and take your time driving through rolling hills and endless olive groves before watching the sunset over the coastline's iconic golden sands. Savour world-famous gelato while strolling through medieval architecture in San Gimignano, take a dip in the cool waters at Forte dei Marmi, or by led by your taste buds as you hop between wine regions and sample some of the local drops. A Tuscany holiday really is the epitome of sipping, snacking and swimming in Italian splendour. Arrivederci!
