Luxury experiences in Tuscany for foreign tourists
Rich in history, art and culture, Tuscany represents every year one of the favorite destinations for many foreign tourists, eager to let themselves be enveloped by the intense charm that has always distinguished this region of central Italy.
Those who really don’t want to spare expenses and are looking for a holiday characterized by luxury experiences have come to the right place: in this article we will deal with this topic, providing many useful tips on which are the best solutions to which you just don’t can renounce during the stay in Tuscany.
Stay in historic villas and resorts
Every self-respecting holiday, regardless of whether it is based on the discovery of local beauties or which, on the contrary, focuses on total and absolute relaxation, must undoubtedly start from good accommodation.
Some examples of luxury? The villa of Cabbiavoli, in Castelfiorentino (FI), a historic residence made entirely available to guests, who will be able to enjoy in total freedom not only the interiors (which seem to all intents and purposes those of a royal palace) but also the splendid fairy-tale gardens , or the Borgo Scopeto Relais, in Castellina in Chianti (SI), a magnificent resort equipped with every type of comfort: tennis courts, huge swimming pool, wellness center and luxury restaurant.
Villa Campstri Olive Oil Resort, on the other hand, will welcome you in the natural setting of Mugello with the unique experience of staying in a Renaissance Villa and maximum comfort.
Relax at the Terme di Montecatini
Those looking for a few moments to devote entirely to their health and well-being should absolutely include a day at the Terme di Montecatini in their travel itinerary, where it is possible to have a restorative massage, relax in a spa or in the of a nice hot bath.
All in an extremely scenographic complex, in full Art Nouveau style.
Go shopping in the wealthiest cities of the region
When it comes to luxury, the two Tuscan cities that immediately come to mind are Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in unbridled shopping sessions in high-class shops offering designer clothes from the greatest designers in the world and all latest fashion. However, these two cities are an unmissable destination even for those who don’t need to buy anything, as they look truly wonderful.
Taste local specialties at starred restaurants
Food lovers will love the many luxury restaurants in Tuscany: among these, we mention for example the Enoteca Pinchiorri, in Florence, which boasts three Michelin stars, and the Piccolo Principe restaurant, located in Viareggio, which instead has 2 Michelin stars.
Take private boat trips
No desire to blend in with the many tourists around the city? Private boat excursions therefore represent the best choice to surround yourself only with tranquility interspersed with the lapping of the waves. Numerous solutions are available: you can rent a sailboat or a catamaran, with or without a skipper, and set off on an adventure to discover the most beautiful bays and stretches of coast that Tuscany has to offer.
