Tuscany is a place that can feel inherently magical – with its legendary rolling green hills bathed in golden light at sunset or draped in fog in the early morning, the cities and towns that seem frozen in time, the gardens dotted with statues that feel as though they might come to life, and so much more – but if you are looking for your next destination then we put forward Lucca for your consideration. This ancient walled city is one of those that can seem as though it has remained utterly untouched by time but it is also a place filled with unique curiosities and impossibly beautiful wonders. Book one of our incredible villas in Lucca and then come explore this dreamy little wonder of a city...

Spring through to early summer is a gorgeous time of year to visit Florence. Not only have the larger tourist crowds yet to descend on the city, leaving you not only with less time spent in queues and more time to explore the Birthplace of the Renaissance, but the temperatures are rising while weather conditions remain mild enough to dart all over the place as much as you want comfortably. Furthermore, the great architectural gems and sweeping vistas over the skyline and beautifully preserved historic centre are that much lovelier once the city begins to bloom... So, book your villa in Florence for a spring break or early summer getaway and come discover the city at its prettiest and the gardens that make it all the more charming...
