This website is written specifically for people coming from the UK by a resident that has now lived in Florence for more than eleven years.

His is a story of love which started with the chance meeting of a woman in London, with whom he fell in love and went on to marry in a church in the olive groves of Tuscany ten years later. Firenze is now the family home and the pitter patter of small feet that can be heard running around the house, mean that it will remain so, for some time to come.

Update 2011: pitter patter times two, what was I thinking! Having two is really really different!

The website, Tuscany-Villas.co.uk is chiefly a labour of love, sharing experience, insights and the delights of the region as seen through foreign eyes, with the hope that it enhances your final experience of this weird and wonderful place.

For you the reader, there are lots of personal insights which is hoped will make a holiday fantastic, or finally convert you to spending a lifetime in the region too.
