Authentic Tuscany (Authentic Italy)

Authentic Tuscany gives an insider perspective to one of the world's most celebrated — and visited — regions. Organized by subject groups that range from "Culture/Heritage" and "Food" to "Shopping" and "Events," this guide invites travelers to discover the area's riches at their own pace. The subject-keyed design allows users to scan the daily activities quickly and zero in on a particular location. Full-color photographs and detailed maps (both city and regional) help visitors navigate the maze of possibilities and make the most of the time they have. Authoritative "TCI Orange Flag recommendations" cover hotels, B&Bs, villa rentals, spas/retreats, and restaurants for every taste and budget. Special-interest itineraries offer the options of one, two, and three days' duration, ranging from walking excursions and bike routes to tours of wineries, olive oil factories, and ceramic shops.
