Tuscany
Tuscany is oftern
described as the most beautiful part of Italy. It is the countryside
and the Italian way of life that attract most people to this area.
Tuscany is situated
in central Italy, bordering on Latium to the south, Umbria and Le
Marche to the east, Emilia-Romagna and Liguria to the north, and
the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west. The most popular destinations include
Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, the Maremma, the Crete Senesi, the
Lunigiana and Garfagnana areas, and the island of Elba.
 
Tuscany is uniquely
beautiful and varied. From wooded mountains to the dramatic shapes
of the Tuscan hills, where the contours of its ploughed hills are
broken only by a solitary cypress or casa colonica. There are also
the more typical vine covered slopes and olive groves and Tuscany
can also boast 120 protected nature reserves.
The art and architecture
contained in the medieval towns are of course the other great attraction.
Tuscany was essentially the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance
and is well known for its artistic heritage. It is famous for its
architecture, paintings and sculptures, collected in dozens of museums,
the best-known of which is the Uffizi in Florence. Although, even
the smallest village has something of note for the visitor to discover
and it may be difficult to leave for the greater glories of Siena,
Florence, Perugia or Assisi.
Tuscany is well
known for its wines, the most famous of which are the Chianti, Morellino
di Scansano and Brunello di Montalcino. One might expect the delicious
wine but with it comes wonderful cuisine, home cooked, using the
freshest ingredients and a hospitality that is unique.
Getting there
is easy, there are numerous flights to either Pisa, Florence or
Rome. There is a direct train link from the Airport in Pisa, via
Florence, to Chiusi and, in Rome, public services (from both Airports)
to the Stazione Termini.

Other Properties
in Tuscany
Buying a house,
particularly in another country, is a major step and not one to
be taken lightly but can, and indeed should, be a pleasurable experience.
We hope our clients will savour the lovely countryside and enjoy
choosing their new home. We know and love our area and want to share
its delights with newcomers.
Most of the properties
on our books are within the province of Siena, stretching south
from Siena to the southernmost tip of Tuscany around San Casciano
dei Bagni, across into Umbria around Lago Trasimeno and westwards
to the region of Grosseto. It is a region that has much to recommend
it: properties are still plentiful and are relatively cheaper than
those north of Siena or along the coast.

The countryside
and the Italian way of life, however, are what attract most people
to this area. Southern Tuscany is uniquely beautiful and very varied.
From wooded mountains - Monte Amiata for example, where it is high
enough to ski in winter - to the dramatic shapes of the Val d'Orcia,
where the contours of its ploughed hills are broken only by a solitary
cypress or casa colonica. In contrast, the green basin of the Val
di Chiana is lush with fields of sunflowers and maize. And of course
there are the more typical vine covered slopes and olive groves
around Montepulciano and Cetona which have remained unchanged for
centuries.
The art and architecture
contained in the medieval towns are of course the other great attraction.
Even the smallest village has something of note for the visitor
to discover and it may be difficult to leave for the greater glories
of Siena, Florence, Perugia or Assisi - all of which are within
easy reach.
One would expect
the delicious wine but with it comes a wonderful cuisine, home cooked,
using the freshest ingredients and a hospitality that is unique.
There are still relatively few foreigners so the welcome is genuine
and the local residents will go to great lengths to make a newcomer
feel at home.
There are plenty
of activities for families with children. Most towns have public
pools, Sarteano having, perhaps, the best facilities. Set in a park,
there are two pools filled with thermal spa water, a restaurant,
snack bar, table tennis, etc.. Nearby, across the border in Umbria,
Lake Trasimeno offers a variety of aquatic sports. There are riding
schools, tennis courts and, of course, the spas themselves.
On a more practical
level we can help you find the best craftsmen to restore or redecorate
your property and we oversee the work from start to finish. We work
with an excellent local geometra (surveyor/architect) and have a
wonderful team of builders whose enthusiasm and understanding of
the architecture makes restoration a pleasure. Building costs are
not cheap but as the standard of workmanship is very high you should
always get value for money.
Below are a few
examples of the properties we have to offer in Tuscany. For a full

Le
Marche
 
Travellers who
want an alternative to Tuscany and Umbria are now heading for Le
Marche. Le Marche offers mountains, lakes, seas, historic towns
and cities and a myriad of treasures waiting to be discovered.
The region lies
on the eastern side of central Italy, between the Adriatic Sea and
the high Apennine mountains and much of it remains unspoilt by the
ravages of mass tourism.
The Adriatic
coast has been a hot spot for sun worshippers for decades, yet few
tourists explore inland, where you will find sleepy hamlets where
time seems to stand still.
