Tuscan Villas, the whole Invitation to Tuscany selection of Villas, Farmhouses, Castles and Village homes is here, in alphabetical order. There are Private Villas with pools, Isolated Farmhouses in splendid landscape, Intimate Village homes, some with their own gardens and pools, others close to village pools. There are apartments in hamlets, ideal for families with children who want to meet similar people. In Tuscany you are close to the museums and galleries of Florence, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo, Orvieto. There are smaller village events, museums and festivals, from food festivals celebrating the glorious local cuisine to medieval re-enactments such as the medieval week at Monteriggioni; the whole village turns medieval and visitors are stopped at the gates and made to change their currency - if you come dressed up too, all the better! In the Maremma, south of Siena, the butteri, the cowboys ancestors that hark back to the etruscans, show their skills roping and guiding the beautiful white long horn cattle. In short, Tuscany is place to be lived and enjoyed at all levels, and when the heat is too much, or the wine too good, relax in your pool or in the gentle cool of the heavy masonry farmhouses.
