Would like information on the best place to spend Christmas and New Year in Tuscany
Reply to this Hi Mark,
Tuscany boasts such a wide roster of places, accommodations, fairs...
I highly recommend you check this beautiful estate in the countryside, Il Borro, that has villas and furnished farmhouses.
Check their website here:
Il Borro Tuscany Estate Villas
From there, you may choose to visit every city that comes at a hand: Florence, Siena, Arezzo and Cortona. And also Pisa is not that far from there. If you need further info about cultural life, tours, and more, feel free to write me back.
Enjoy Tuscany, then!

Reply to this Also, if you go to some of the hillside towns around the bigger cities you can find little gems for an afternoon trip. In the hills above Florence there's a little town called Fiesole (take then #9 bus from the main train station) that has Roman ruins and beautiful smaller churches, for when the grand cathedrals start to make you feel too small. Smaller towns like that are ALL OVER the place!
Reply to this Hi Mark, Just to say that if you are around the north of Tuscany then the church ( Chiesa di Gaggiola) in La Spezia has an Christmas carol service in English. Also check out http://www.underthetuscansun.co.uk for lots of info on the region.
Buon Viaggio
Reply to this Hi Mark,
I don't know your budget and I don't know what it means for you the best, but
late last year I spent 4 days with my husband in a villa of 1400, incredibly beautiful residence is called "
" in Torrita de Siena! This hotel is the most original and wonderful that I've ever seen, is also very close to many towns to visit such as Pienza, for me the most beautiful!
You can see the hotel on this site: best regards
