Information about tuscany Properties

If you are searching for Italian real estate Tuscany (or Toscana in Italian ) is a place that has got to be included on your shortlist.
Tuscany is probably the most famous Italian region in the world. The very word conjures up images of hill towns, a patchwork of fields dotted with cypresses and of course it is home to world famous medieval cities like Florence and Siena. Many film makers have used the region's beautiful landscape as a backdrop to their films, two recent examples being Gladiator and The English Patient, both filmed near San Quirico d'Orcia.

FLORENCE

Many of Landscape's Tuscany real estate opportunities are situated near Florence, which is quite rightly considered to be one of the most important Renaissance art and architectural centres in the world. The downside to this is that many of its most popular sights, such as the Baptistry and the Duomo, are very popular with tourists. The city has many lovely palaces and gardens and some of those are less crowded. Florence has so much to offer : art galleries including the Uffizi, antique shops, flea markets, bars, restaurants, cafes, enoteche (sort of wine bars) and all kinds of artisan shops. Real estate in Florence comes in many shapes and sizes from An apartment or villa in or near the city makes the perfect base for visiting the 'Chianti' part of Tuscany.

SIENA

Siena is situated the middle of Tuscany. It is a medieval city with Etruscan origins and boasts many beautiful buildings including the magnificent Duomo. Siena is probably most famous for the palio di Siena horserace, held annually on July 2 and August 16, in which bareback riders from ten of the town's 17 city wards (contrade), race three times round the Piazza del Campo.

Landscape Properties' office is located just off the campo in Siena (in the contrada of the 'oca' – goose - in case you were wondering!) Much of the real estate in Tuscany we have for sale is near Siena. Buying a home here means you are ideally situated for visiting the Chianti part of Tuscany as well as the beautiful Orcia Valley (Val d'Orcia) and the famous 'crete.'
