Hotels in Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany is a region in central Italy with a Mediterranean climate, famous for Renaissance art, rolling vineyards, and medieval hill towns. Summers are hot and dry, perfect for hiking through the Chianti wine region or visiting Florence's Uffizi Gallery to see Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus', while mild winters invite you to explore Siena's Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race has been held since 1633. For the best experience, visit in spring (April-June) or fall (September-October) when temperatures range from 60-80°F (15-27°C), ideal for cycling through Val d'Orcia's cypress-lined roads and tasting Chianti Classico wines at local vineyards.
