Limiting the choice of prime sights is not an easy task in a land as rich and varied as Tuscany. Its storybook landscape is home to medieval hill towns, fabled wines and, as crucible of the Renaissance, an unrivalled collection of artistic masterpieces. Here are the best of the best.
-
La Mora serves Lucchese cuisine plus a superb cacciucco (fish stew).
-
A cosy restaurant offering southern Tuscan dishes such as pici with duck sauce, wild boar and lamb.
-
A hand-scribbled menu of hearty dishes, with laid-back service and funky modern art.
-
Pretty good Tuscan cuisine in a room of beamed ceilings and stone archways dating back to the 1200s.
-
High-quality home cooking – a local touch just yards from the Campo. Fish is available on Fridays.
-
St Francis himself founded this clifftop monastery, and a Baroque frescoed corridor passes the now-enclosed cave where he slept. At the end of the corridor is the Cappella delle Stimmate, which was built over the site where the saint received his stigmata in 1224. For a sense of the saint’s La Verna unencumbered by buildings, follow the path to Sasso Spico, another rocky outcrop where the holy man prayed.
-
Jewellery – classic, modern and Etruscan-inspired – hand-crafted on the spot.
-
Best cooking in Arezzo, with a primarily Tuscan menu. The owner sometimes plays a little jazz at the piano, but service can be brusque.
-
A fine restaurant with legendary cuisine and a stupendous setting in the Hotel Cisterna.
-
High-quality, butter-soft leather. Artisans will personalize your purchase in gold leaf.
-
Restaurant price categories
For a three-course meal for one with half a bottle of wine (or equivalent meal), taxes and extra charges.
