Tuscany continues to define what travellers seek in Italy — beauty without spectacle, culture without crowds, and experiences that feel deeply rooted rather than rushed. In 2026, the region remains one of Europe’s most compelling destinations for those looking to slow down, stay longer, and immerse themselves.
From vineyard-stitched hills and Renaissance cities to medieval villages and a quietly elegant coastline, Tuscany offers a rare balance of cultural richness and everyday simplicity. Guests travelling with HV experience Tuscany from the comfort of private villas — using them as a base to explore art, food, wine, and landscape at their own pace.
Whether your days are spent wandering historic streets, cycling through the Val d’Orcia, or enjoying long lunches in sun-washed piazzas, Tuscany rewards travellers who take the time to linger.
The Tuscan countryside unfolds in layers — rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, vineyard-covered valleys, and timeless villages that feel untouched by hurry. It is a region designed for both slowing down and exploring deeply. From historic monasteries and hilltop towns to Renaissance cities of art, Tuscany offers an extraordinary blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty.
Beyond its iconic landscapes, Tuscany provides a remarkable variety. Snow-dusted Apennine mountains, sunlit vineyards, thermal springs, and the sparkling Tyrrhenian coastline are all within easy reach, making it an ideal base for a multifaceted Italian journey. Whether you spend your days cycling through the Val d’Orcia, wandering medieval streets, tasting local wines in small piazzas, or simply enjoying the quiet rhythm of countryside life from your villa, Tuscany invites you to create experiences that feel both grounding and unforgettable.
The birthplace of the Renaissance remains essential — but Florence in 2026 is best experienced thoughtfully. Visit during early-morning museum hours, explore artisan neighbourhoods beyond the Duomo, and balance cultural immersion with time outside the city at a nearby countryside villa.
Siena’s medieval core offers one of Italy’s most atmospheric historic centres. From the grandeur of Piazza del Campo to the quiet streets beyond the main routes, the city invites slow exploration and café moments that stretch into the afternoon.
Encircled by Renaissance walls, Lucca feels intimate and lived-in. Cycling along the ramparts, browsing Via Fillungo, and enjoying local markets remain highlights — especially for travellers seeking a calmer alternative to larger Tuscan cities.
Rising above the countryside, San Gimignano’s towers tell a story of medieval ambition. Visit outside peak hours to experience its quieter side, paired with Vernaccia wine tastings and traditional Tuscan dishes.
Between Florence and Siena, Chianti remains the heart of Tuscan wine culture. Rolling vineyards, stone villages like Greve and Gaiole, and family-run estates define the experience. Private tastings and vineyard lunches remain a cornerstone of travel here.
For 2026, the Tuscan coast is increasingly popular with travellers, who are combining countryside stays with seaside time. From the refined beaches of Versilia to the natural beauty of Maremma, the coastline adds a relaxed, understated contrast to inland Tuscany.
Staying in a private villa allows travellers to experience Tuscany as it’s meant to be lived — mornings that start slowly, afternoons shaped by weather and appetite, and evenings spent outdoors with local food and wine.
HV’s curated collection of luxury villas spans the Tuscan countryside, historic villages, and coastal regions. Paired with personalized planning from an Experience Manager, each stay is tailored — whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a multi-generational family trip, or a longer Italian journey focused on culture and cuisine.
