Simply by not owning three medium-sized castles in Tuscany I have
saved enough money in the last forty years on insurance premiums
alone to buy a medium-sized castle in Tuscany.

Mies van der Rohe - German born American Architect 1886-1969)

Probably buying a villa
in Tuscany is way over everybody's possibilities. But you can
certainly be enriched by staying in Tuscany for a day, a week or a
month.
When I travel other regions in Italy they are all beautiful. But
there is something always missing; maybe it's the accuracy of
details, maybe it's the color of the sunlight or maybe I just love
Tuscany.
Walking is the best way
to enjoy all this. Have a look at my proposals...
