For romantics, Tuscany is widely viewed as one of the most popular holiday spots in Europe. In fact, according to some documented sources, it is one of the top three honeymoon destinations in the world. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more perfect location for a storybook romance; from intimate bistros for a romantic first date, a picnic in a field of flowers for the perfect proposal, to its gorgeous churches for weddings, and finally to its many gorgeous Tuscany villa rental properties for honeymoons. The beautiful countryside and stunning architecture of the region provide a perfect backdrop, either for the beginning of a love or a commitment to forever – not to mention some truly amazing photo opportunities.

Of course, being tempted to spend your entire time simply enjoying each other’s company, surrounded by the beauty of the countryside in the privacy of your Tuscany villa rental is understandable, but it would a shame to resist the lure of the region itself. Its very name brings to mind romantic walks among medieval castles and fields of flowers; browsing ancient architecture and Renaissance art; and sipping Chianti while enjoying mouth-watering pasta in an intimate bistro or during a wine-tasting at one of the region’s famous vineyards. Listed below are some suggestions of activities and attractions perfect for couples with romance on their minds.

Balloon ride for two

Take a romantic hot air balloon ride for two and experience the countryside from the best possible viewpoint – up in the sky! Block out the distraction of everyday noises and other people, and simply enjoy each other’s company and the amazing patch-worked landscape spread out below.

Eating gelato in Siena

Along with its medieval castles, maze-like streets, and many historical palazzos, cathedrals, and museums, Siena is famous for its mouth-watering pastry and confectionery – most of which go well with a nice glass of local wine. Don’t forget to check out the local art and crafts shops for souvenirs too.

Wine tasting in Chianti

A wine tasting is the perfect opportunity to visit Chianti’s prestigious and historic wineries. This would also be a great time to stock up on your favourite wines to enjoy back at your Tuscany villa rental or for shipping back home. Even if you’re not a wine connoisseur, the experience is bound to be unforgettable. The beautiful countryside and lush vineyards of Chianti are nearly as famous as the wines they produce, and for good reason.

Carriage ride in San Rossore

Although the leaning tower remains Pisa’s most famous attraction, following closely in popularity is a visit to San Rossore. The park, which stretches from the city to the coast, is undoubtedly a treasure of natural beauty. To enjoy it to the fullest, take a romantic tour via a horse-drawn carriage, reminiscent of 19th century Italy.
Cooking classes in Florence

Probably the best thing about a trip to this region is the food because, as any foodie knows, it is among the best in the world. No chef could survive without olive oil and the best in the world is produced right here. Local chefs use recipes handed down through generations, utilising only the best and freshest local ingredients – such as porcini, salamis, and pecorino and ricotta cheese. Seize the opportunity to learn how to make fresh pasta and cook authentic Tuscan recipes; some schools, such as Juls’ Kitchen, even come to your Tuscany villa rental for private lessons. Impress your friends by cooking them an authentic Italian meal once you get home!
