Why not take the hassle out of your next holiday stay in Tuscany and simply rent a scooter or Vespa to explore some of the region’s most beautiful areas? Luckily for tourists, there is a fantastic rental agency in the Chianti wine producing region that provides this exciting service.

Their website offers an unbeatable service as it even offers a door to door pick up service for visitors staying at hotels or rental properties in the area. The rental agency is located in the town of Radda in Chianti.

For those who want the open road to lead the way then why not book a 125cc Vespa LX or a Honda SH125 for only €50 a day, or a 100cc Sym Mio retro styled scooter for €40 a day.

Enjoy zooming through the Tuscan countryside, stopping off at scenic towns and tourist attractions along the way! These superb rates include insurance and a helmet for the day also.

There are little things more romantic in life than booking an exclusive vintage car trip from Florence to a Tuscan villa to treat your partner to a candlelit dinner in a private garden!
Visiting couples wishing to book this evening delight have a huge array of accommodation in and around Florence city where the vintage car tour company is based.

Relive the romance that flowed freely through Italy in the 1960’s by treating your partner to a glorious drive through the winding country roads in a vintage Fiat 500.

This stunning car was made famous by the classic film ‘Roman Holiday’ starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn where he courteously steeped through the roof of his Fiat to open the door for her to get in! Perhaps you and your partner could have some fun re-enacting this iconic scene!

Are you taking a  holiday in Tuscany but are worried that you won't be able to see any of the historical sights of the city because you find it difficult to walk?
Or maybe you are just looking for a more modern and unique way to view the cities of art?

If so then maybe the Segway tours are exactly what you are looking for. Unique, modern, and absolutely no need to walk anywhere, these provide excellent transportation in which you can see everything that you wanted to and more.

These tours are on offer in Pisa and Florence and the maximum that the tours last is 3 hours so you don't spend all day seeing the cities and instead you can spend time shopping, having dinner, or relaxing beside a swimming pool if you have rented a holiday villa.

If you have not yet rented a holiday property but would like to do so then we will be more than happy to assist you and we are waiting to hear from you. Click here to view our full catalogue of holiday self-catering rentals in the Tuscaan region.

We hope to see you in Tuscany soon!

Driving in Tucany is hazardous to your health! Although most people believe this is the case, in reality drivers in Tuscany (and Italy in general) follow the road rules and are very patient with foreign drivers… NOT!!

When driving in Tuscany the important rules to remember are:

• The guy behind you is not tail-gating you because he hates you.. it’s just the way they drive. Either learn to ignore it or don’t drive in Italy. In most cases, he is there waiting to pass you and the next chance. Italians are famous for passing on roads most Americans would never dream of passing another car. When he starts to pass you just slow up a little and let him by.
