subject: Enjoy The Peace And Quiet In A Tuscany Hotel [print this page] There is something about Italy that makes it an ideal holiday destination for those looking to get away from all the stresses of modern life for a while. A combination of stunning rural scenery and romantic village settings makes Tuscany a particularly popular tourist region of Italy, and a rustic Tuscany hotel is often the best way to enjoy a peaceful break in the popular country.
Tuscany, a region of Central Italy that also encompasses a section of the Western coast, is known as being the true birthplace of the Italian renaissance, making it an area steeped in a rich artistic legacy. Florence is the capital of the region and has long been thought of as an ideal place for a sophisticated and romantic getaway for tourists. The range of museums in the area, particularly within Florence itself, displays the rich heritage of a district that had a vast influence on high culture having been the home of such visionaries as Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei.
Most Tuscany hotels offer an insight into the history of the region, with their rural charm and beautiful surroundings. It is an experience that is synonymous with the relaxed and fruitful lives that Tuscan locals seem to enjoy all year round. The food and drink served up in the Tuscan region is notoriously impressive, with a real emphasis placed on using fresh, local, often organic produce to create simple and authentic dishes that display the real heart and soul of rural Italy.
While the winding village streets and vineyards are a delight, Tuscany also boasts a splendid coastline that is easily accessible from many Tuscany hotels. Picturesque in the extreme and a lovely place to spend a summer's afternoon, the coastal towns and villages in the area all boast considerable natural and architectural beauty. While Florence and the surrounding area is incredibly popular with tourists, it is never too difficult to escape the commotion and take in the more peaceful side of life with some horse riding or a romantic walk through the hills and vales.
A stay at a Tuscany hotel can often be rewarding in itself, regardless of the beautiful surroundings that the building itself sits in. They tend to maintain the country feel of the district, while being converted with a modern interior to accommodate tourists looking for a lavish place to stay. Nothing is done by halves in Tuscany, with luxury accommodation very much available, not to mention glorious regional food and wine.
