This profile of Tuscany’s territory is rather different from the national average, which mainly consists of mountains and plains. Against this background, an age-old agricultural tradition has designed the current face of the Tuscan countryside: that unmistakeable succession of well-kept farms, country houses, villas and noble residences today except for in some flat areas, the Tuscan countryside is increasingly characterised by vineyards and olive groves: resulting not only in a great quantity of products, but also great quality that is widely recognised on international markets.

Cultivating vines and olive trees also means taking care of and defending the landscape, and protecting its environmental characteristics. Therefore, over recent decades, there has been an intense process that has led to an increase in the exploitation of the land for agricultural purposes and resulted in the renovation of the real estate, with the old country houses being restored for residential use and tourism. Therefore, today the Tuscan countryside is not just a source of agricultural income but also big profits and the place where new services are produced.

I believe everyone should explore the world, take photos, make memories, and say yes to the adventures that make your heart race.
