Poppies
The landscape of Tuscany is always beautiful but each season boasts particular charms; the impossible technicolour of lush green lawns, sprinkled flowers, and blue skies of Summer, the golden tones and heavy vines of Autumn, the stark appeal and fogs of Winter, and, of course, the stunning fields of colourful blooms in Spring. Tuscany is especially lovely under a blanket of flowers so why not go ahead and find a vacation rental in Tuscany and explore the rolling hills and sleepy villages under a spell of blooms from the beginning of Spring right through Summer? If you are planning a trip over the coming months, these are the areas and flowers that you should keep an eye out for as you wander the region....

Tuscany is world-famous for her hearty cuisine, which is based on peasant traditions but is now synonymous with being tasty, comforting, and utterly irresistible. There are endless excellent places to eat all over the region if you have found a vacation rental in Tuscany, in fact it often feels like you could stumble into any given eatery and have one of the best meals of your life.
