An extraordinary Tuscan hillside estate
that offers a taste of fine country living in a
breathtakingly beautiful natural setting
N
o other country embraces art, history, architecture, music,
scenic splendour and gastronomy in such a complete
package as Italy. So it does not come as a surprise that many
global real estate investors, seduced by the Italian lifestyle, are
attracted to buying property in Italy.
The glorious region of Tuscany is arguably both the most
famous and the most desirable of all the Italian regions.
From its capital city of Florence, synonymous with the art
and high drama of the Renaissance, to the beautiful Siena - a
UNESCO World Heritage Site thought by many to be the
best-preserved medieval city in Europe - Tuscany real estate is
situated in a land of iconic beauty and artistic heritage.
Although it might have been the undulating green hills, regal
lines of cypress trees and strade bianche (white roads) lined
with paper-thin poppies that first brought property buyers to
Tuscany, it is the exceptional culture on offer that keeps it a
perennial favourite. UNESCO estimates that 60% of the world’s
most important works of art reside in Italy and amongst those,
half can be found in one Tuscan city: Florence.
