Planning Ahead For Your Trip

Florence is an amazing village that somehow always makes the top destinations to visit each year. That is because of the high concentration of attractions and beautiful monuments in such a small town. It also is located in Tuscany which makes it a desirable jump-off point prior to renting a villa in wine-country.
