Looking for luxury worthy of an emperor? Or the simple welcome of a modest Pensione? See Tuscanycan advise you in either case!

Tuscany

Florence

The Brunelleschi
Spend a night in the oldest building in Florence, the ByzantineTorre della Pagliazza! A four star hotel in the very heart of Florence, between the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio.

Grand Hotel Minerva
Located in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. Four stars, provides every comfort imagineable, including baby sitters.

Hotel J&J
A converted 15th century convent, a veritable oasis in the center of Florence. Four stars, and so comfortable it's sinful.

The Tuscan Countryside

La Fidanza: Agritourism in a magnificent restored podere, in the heart of Tuscany just 2 km from San Gimignano, and a half hour's drive from Florence and Siena. Go exploring during the day and relax in peace in the evening; has a swimming pool, tennis court, olive groves, and vineyards.

Palazzo di Pirro: Located in Southern Tuscany, near the Umbrian border, Palazzo di Pirro is an ideal base for exploring Siena, the Maremma, and also Gubbio, Orvieto and Assisi.

Grattamacco: If you want to get away from it all Bolgheri is certainly the place: Beautiful countryside, nearby beaches, medieval hilltop towns, mines and fortresses, Etruscan settlements, fine dining and much more. They ask you stay a week but you'll want to stay longer.

Piemonte

Relais Villa Pomela: A luxurious Renaissance villa a short distance from Gavi, an area that should be known much better than it is. You'll want to take your room home with you.
