Rural Holidays In Tuscany; Rolling Hills, Farm Buildings And Fine Cuisine
When most people think about holidays in Tuscany they think of Florence, Pisa and the coastline of this fascinating region of Italy. There is another Tuscany however, a world of farm buildings and medieval hamlets; this is the real Tuscany and holidays in the Tuscan interior are well worthwhile for couples and families alike.
Rural holidays in Tuscany are sublimely relaxing, unwind to the local's pace of life and forget the stresses and strains of the rat race. Whether sipping wine sat outside a farm building or just relaxing atop one of the many hills of the region, relaxation is key to the Tuscan culture and when you embark on a holiday in Tuscany you will not be able to help unwinding to this unique way of life.
For those who are more than happy to sample the finer things in life, Tuscany is the perfect destination. The cuisine of the region consists heavily of meat, strange considering the predominance of the arable farm. Steaks and pork make up some of the finest dishes of Tuscany, naturally accompanied by the freshest of seasonal vegetables. For the locals, long lazy meals are an integral part of the culture and relaxing over a meal with family is fundamental to social interaction.
Of course, as with much of Italy, no meal would be complete without wine, Tuscany is no different and those undertaking holidays in the region would be foolish to miss the opportunity of sampling some of the local tipple. Vineyards are almost a numerous as other types of farm in the region with the most famous wine being Chianti. The Chianti produced in Tuscany acts as the perfect accompaniment to the meat dishes and can be considered as the ideal way to immerse yourself in Tuscan culture.
Those undertaking holidays in Tuscany should definitely tour the rural regions, the rolling hills are dotted with all types of farm, although mostly the arable variety. The scenes of crops gently swaying in the breeze with the cypress trees dotted around the fields puts the tourist in a timeless place that is as far removed from the modern world as possible. Couples will love the chance to picnic in the scenic surroundings while families will enjoy the wide open spaces.
Nature is an important part of holidays in the interior of Tuscany; there are five large natural parks that are enjoyed by tourists and locals alike. The chance to walk in the warm breeze and view the farm buildings that dot the hillsides will enthral and amaze visitors who wish to recuperate in this serene countryside. The large forests habituate different species of deer and wild boar that will give wildlife enthusiasts a thrill. These forests contain some magical waterfalls that are worthy of the title 'fairytale' and the many species of flower make the floral displays truly spectacular.
The parks seamlessly connect with the coastline in Tuscany and the beaches are both tranquil and beautiful. Holidays in this region would not be complete without a trip to the coast as a dip in the warm waters is a refreshing way to relax in the warm Tuscan sun.
Accommodation in Tuscany is increasingly being based in the rural areas. As Florence and Pisa are two of the most visited cities in Europe due to their cultural worth; the importance of having a base in the serene countryside is rapidly becoming an element of most holidays in the region. Farm buildings and castles are hastily being converted to cater for the needs of the tourist, many have had pools built and these locally run businesses offer holidays with the personal touch.
There is no doubt that holidays in Tuscany are changing. The unspoilt interior of the region is widely unspoilt and unlike the major cities is untouched by mass tourism. The increasing numbers of converted farm accommodation makes a rural base the ideal way to soak in as much as the Tuscan culture as possible during your stay.
