Ah, Tuscany. Where the hills are soft and the valleys wide, providing some of the most magnificent vistas in the world. Where on top of every hill is an enchanting medieval town, and in between lies sun-drenched countryside covered with vineyards and olive groves. A seasoned traveler's fondest memory, an armchair traveler's fondest dream. This private tour of the most spectacular Tuscan villas, houses, abbeys, and castles introduces us to the beauty and deep-rooted culture of Italy's most famous region. Here are interiors and exteriors of 25 of Tuscany's most dramatic and unusual dwellings, from grand Renaissance villas to simple farmhouses, transformed by expert restoration into modern homes. More than 400 full-color photographs allow us to slip inside and explore the period furniture, collections, and architecture within, while an illuminating text reveals their unique history. A terrific sourcebook of design ideas and a fascinating travel book all in one.
