The Tuscany Region
Tuscany contains some of Europe's most beautiful landscapes, along with the great cities of Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Pisa and Lucca. This is an area of great contrasts; from the mountains on the East side to the coastal plains and beaches on the West; from the tranquility of its green countryside to the great renaissance art and the contemporary sophistication of its cities. Tuscany is also well known for its wonderful wines, such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and many others, and not to mention its olive oil.
Florence with all its art treasures is only 35 kms away. Allow one hour to reach the centre whether by private or public transport.
Siena is less than two hours away by car, but must allow about three hours by public transport.
San Gimignano is about one hour and a half by bus or car.
Lucca can be reached in two hours by car.
Reggello and Surrounding area
The small rural community of Reggello lies in the foothills of the beautiful Pratomagno mountains. People interested in walking, flora, fauna or bird watching will find the location extremely rewarding.
The nearby village of Cascia, is famous for the Masaccio painting in the superb Romanesque church. There are several other fascinating small villages and towns nearby, many offering excellent walks, beautiful old churches and other ancient buildings and places of interest. Vallombrosa, a particularly famous beauty spot up in the mountains, is only 30 minutes away, with a beautiful Benedictine monastery from the 15th century.
In Cascia and Reggello there are cinemas, swimming pools, an equestrian centre, several shops, as well as a market on Saturdays. For people interested in finding a real bargain, the nearby shopping centre called 'The Mall' is home to the factory outlets of Gucci, Giorgio Armani and Yves Saint Laurent, amongst others. Not far away there is a similar Prada outlet.
Westwards lies the river Arno and the Chianti hills, producing the splendid wines of the same name. Slightly further afield, the cities of Florence, Siena and Arezzo, offer a great variety of things to do and see. Medieval and Renaissance art and architecture is everywhere, there are theatres (some in the open-air), Roman and Etruscan ruins, shops and markets of every kind, as well as swimming baths, sports events and much more.
The Chianti hills, the most famous wine producing area in the world, is only a short ride away across the river Arno. Many towns and wine areas are within easy reach and many offer wine tasting sessions.
Shopping opportunities also abound. The towns nearby have weekly open markets. Reggello is relatively small and opens on a Saturday. Nearby Figline and Pontassieve have much larger markets respectively on Tuesday and Wednesday.
