Hidden Tuscany

HIDDEN TUSCANY – MESSAGE FROM, OUR TUSCAN SPECIALIST, WHO WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH YOUR SEARCH FOR YOUR DREAM ITALIAN HOME

With the popularity of Tuscan real estate, it’s easy to imagine that there’re no opportunities left to discover that hidden gem in that authentic Italian village, where you can have your own “Under the Tuscan Sun” experience, and yet, there are.

It is also just three hours from London — two hours flight and one hour of driving — some of Tuscany’s most breath-taking valleys and hills have been inexplicably passed over by the foreign markets and remain relatively untouched.

In these lesser known towns you will find the sustenance that Italy is famous for: organic vineyards striping the rolling hillsides, terracotta vats of olive oil standing in cool cellars of hilltop villages, fresh baked breads made with the flour from the antique wheat farm, fields and wooded dells laden with wild asparagus in the spring, truffles and porcini mushrooms in the autumn, all just waiting to be foraged and added to a home made frittata.

It is quite frankly surprising that this area has remained off the beaten path with its countryside dappled as it is with quintessentially restored farm houses and cypress lined drives. It even abounds with fixer-uppers and ruins whose vistas, internal arches and loggias are enough to make an architect weep.

But this place really does exist. And you know how I know?  I live here. But you’ll never find it, unless you happen to know someone who lives here, it’s not on the road to anywhere…except maybe Rome, where all roads lead.

I came here for a job, I never meant to stay, but you’ll see, it’s hard to leave. I have been living here for the past 20 years.  It’s a farming community in the heart of Tuscany where a cappuccino is one part espresso, one part frothed milk and 2 parts village gossip. It’s where you find yourself surrounded by wine estates and a country side abundant with wild life, from pheasants to deer, to boars and porcupines

The area is just one hour away from the city of Florence, one hour from sandy beaches and near the towns of San Gimignano and Volterra, where Etruscan history is ever present.

My business partner Andrea and I look forward to sharing this beautiful hidden part of the world with you,

Enrico Cristiani & Andrea Rosselli Del Turco
