TUSCANY
Pisa’s Galileo Galilei Airport is the second main port of entry for visitors coming to Tuscany. This area is famous for the Leaning Tower, the glitzy beach establishments on the Versilia Coast, and the lovely town of Lajatico, birthplace of Andrea Bocelli and – among others less-known sites – his Teatro del Silenzio outdoor concert venue. Nestled in the amazing Tuscan countryside, the village of Chianni is one of the local jewels carefully built and preserved throughout the centuries – an ideal place to immerse yourself in nature. This town is surrounded by oak woods and cultivated hills – mostly vineyards and olive groves, which make for rich wines and excellent olive oil. Built on two floors, Izilda transports you to a magic atmosphere and transforms your holiday into a unique experience.

Going just a bit further reach San Gimignano and do not forget to pick up some wine on the way to enjoy at the villa.

Toscana - Tuscany
Tuscany is the place we all dream of….The place we want to retire to, and it is that place that will echo in your heart for a life time once you have stayed there and felt the essence of the organic life that passes by there each day.
With fields of sunflowers as far as they eye can see, olive groves and vineyards lining every street corner make Tuscany’s country side a picture worth painting. With its abundance of tiny medieval towns scattered around the hills, open air markets where locals gather each Saturday morning to offer their produce such as Truffle oil, olives, chianti wine, cured meats etc makes Tuscany the perfect place to visit for those that love food, wine and history.
