Tuscany villas and Chianti may be the trademarks of Northern
Italian tourism, but as anyone who has visited the region will attest, there is
much more to this province than initially meets the eye. And while the beautiful,
sprawling landscapes are also quite iconic, flower lovers will be delighted to
know that Tuscany offers plenty of spots in which to engage in floral
appreciation.
In fact, the region goes so far as to include
flower-spotting itineraries, dubbed the “flower roads”. Located in areas
generally devoid of Tuscany
villas and other man-made
interferences with nature, these roads attract flower-loving pilgrims from all
over the world.
What’s more, these areas of floral excellence are not
restricted to just one area of Tuscany: they can be found a bit all over the
province, from the Apennine mountains to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
As such, no matter where their Tuscany villas are located, interested visitors will always have a
“flower road” close by.
Those interested in this type of tour would do well to
visit the walled city of Lucca, within which dwells the Guinigui Tower, with
its sky-high garden. From there, Siena and its botanical gardens constitute a
logical stop, as does Maremma Park, a lovely spot in which to trek, bike, and
witness a varied array of flora from several distinct ecosystems. The Pistoia
Apennines, Elba and Capraia (in the Tuscan Archipelago) and any number of noble
villas and mansions in the province are other interesting spots in which to
find botanical gardens and fields replete with colourful flowers. Flower lovers
renting Tuscany villas will find plenty of places in the province in which to
engage in their hobby of choice!
