The quintessential Italian region of Tuscany epitomises everything that makes Italy famous. From magnificent architecture to spectacular food and wine, from epic landscapes to dazzling historic cities, from high culture to local traditions, Tuscany – the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and renowned for its artistic legacy – is one of Europe's premier second home destinations.
From its enchanting ochre-coloured hilltop towns and manicured Chianti vineyards, to the art treasures of the Uffizzi; from the baroque halls of the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, to the stunning formal gardens of Lucca; Tuscany exudes everlasting beauty and quality of life.
Elegant and steeped in culture, Tuscany real estate continues to charm and attract buyers from every corner of the globe. Wealthy property buyers who see Italy as a safe haven are increasingly looking to buy prestigious second and even third homes in Tuscany. The ultra-luxury Tuscany market for second homes is currently dominated by lifestyle buyers from the UK, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, the Benelux nations, France, the United States and, to a lesser degree, from the Middle East, Russia and Asia.
