All outstanding destinations. Love them 💛💛

[@vivianchierentin7561]

I was there last month I rented a car was wonderful amazing place I loved that ❤️

[@tobysadler3205]

Thanks for the tips. We stayed in the gorgeous village of Gombitelli, 12km from Lucca and 25km north of Pisa. Visited both and more, best holiday ever❤

[@StefanoFerro]

So glad you had a great time!!. Lovely part of Tuscany

There is only one place in the world where everyday life is so completely reflected in the sublime, in a wonderful mix of nature and culture........it is Tuscany. Marie-Henri Beyle, Stendhal

[@TNothingFree]

We drove 3 hours to saturina, was wonderful. Got to a small town to have lunch, the people were super nice. Best time ever. We missed Lucca and Arrezo, so maybe one day we'll be back there for more :) Renting a car in touscany is a must!

[@StefanoFerro]

So happy u had a blast. Just back from yet another trip there and I can't stop myself travelling there

[@JasmineTowers]

This is one of the most informative sharing about Tuscany that I ever viewed. Thanks and much, Stefano. appreciated.

[@StefanoFerro]

No worries. Enjoy Tuscany 👍

Libbiano, peccioli has amazing cypress trees views. Close to pisa, San Giminiano, Volterra, Siena

[@nespolinho]

Arezzo is sop underrated. Monte san Savino, Cortona , and all the casentino valley are precious and full of history, but most of all , really not busy and enjoyable, price reflect that .

[@carlosacchelli8451]

Hai ragione perché Arezzo è un città interessante, ma anche la mia LIVORNO è un po' sottovaluta eppure c'è un lungomare tra i più estesi ed affascinanti d'EUROPA, il suggestivo ( specialmente by night) quartiere di Venezia, il Museo Civico FATTORI e lo splendido SANTUARIO di MONTENERO, raggiungibile con la funicolare, con un panorama mozzafiato! Invece sono riprese sempre le solite 3/4 città...ma in realtà in Toscana ci sono almeno 20/25 luoghi da visitare. Saluti.

[@sdmaero]

Grazie, great video, excellent information and a contagious love of Tuscany. Can't wait to visit asap.

[@StefanoFerro]

Looking forward to my next trip there in a few weeks , with another interesting video too 😁

[@katiirabbi]

I stumbled across Arezzo by accident when I got off at the wrong stop on the train, and what a wonderful mistake!! Absolutely lovely town, so underrated, I went in March so there was barely any tourists.

[@StefanoFerro]

That's the beauty of Tuscany. You can still find beautiful hidden corners

[@mercedess88]

Just watched the video about Tuscany. I can't wait for the opportunity to go.. Thank you for all the information. Subscribed to your channel. :))))

[@korenng5553]

Great video & very helpful...going here this May for niece Tuscany Wedding !

[@StefanoFerro]

Enjoy your trip and most importantly have a great wedding time

[@kristinlink2970]

Heading to Lucca and Florence in just a few weeks. I just can’t wait! Thanks for more info

[@StefanoFerro]

Have fun!

[@vsgtrek]

Thanks (Grazie) for this info. My friends and I will be staying in a small village monteriggioni near Siena . I was a bit hesitant about renting a car, but now I’m confident in going ahead and renting one. Your photos are stunning!! Again thanks for sharing the info!!

[@form76]

Tuscany is inarguably the most picturesque region in the eorld and Val D'Orcia is the cherry on the top of it .

[@StefanoFerro]

The most beautiful way to describe Tuscany💛

[@jillianhenderson2720]

Very helpful vlog, thank you.

[@carlosacchelli8451]

W LIVORNO ( ♥️ a beatiful Town), w all Tuscany Forever. Ciao

[@StefanoFerro]

Ciao 👍🏻👍🏻

[@LL-ch5ce]

Hello Stefano, love your video. I've been to Florence several times and love everything about it. I traveled to Lucca on my last trip and have to disagree about this area. It was very difficult walking inside the main area, was getting lost on the tiny streets and alleys, and didn;t find the experience very enjoyable. It was also at least an hour and a half away from Florence by train!

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciated. I love how we are all different. Lucca is one of the Tuscan towns I actually love the most. That is what I always say on my website and videos, we all like places in a different way. Again, thanks for your comment

[@brabimsahoo3101]

Very informative. Keep up the good work

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks mate 🙏🙏👍🏻

[@NLW288]

you had me at Val D' Orcia. Grazie!

[@graceantonio3573]

😂❤Wow thank you!

[@juliewarrington4238]

Palio July 2 and August 16.

[@johnharvey1786]

Just back from a week in San Quirico d’Orcia. Great location but you do need a car. The surrounding countryside is fantastic. Pienza is lovely, Montalcino and Montepulciano are both very good. Siena is ok but very very busy however the Duomo di Siena makes the visit worthwhile as it’s stunning.

[@StefanoFerro]

Hi John, it looks like you had a blast there. Wonderful part of the world. Indeed it can all be done with local transportation. Having a car gives more flexibility of course, but public transportation is good as well. Totally agree on Siena, unmissable, but busy

[@bourdon845]

Cool !

[@miabeia3117]

I’m a new subscriber!❤ do you think that the month of December is a good time to visit for a month? Thanks so much!

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻 it can be quite cold and possibly snowing. A complete different experience with snow. It's very rare nowadays it does happen. Honestly, if the cold weather is now an issue for you, then December is a good month, not as busy as well

[@madamlakwatsera5674]

Thanks

[@StefanoFerro]

No worries

[@zoobenhof]

Hi Stefano, What's the name of the song you've used in this video ("...falling down, rain falling down, another side of heaven")? Great video, btw - we're planning a trip to Tuscany in November and your suggestions are very helpful!

[@StefanoFerro]

Cheers. Can you give me the minute of the video. Easier for me to look it up. Cheers

[@VDoma1]

@@StefanoFerro 8:15 :)

[@shakalakabuumbuum]

Did you find the song? :)

[@kuharious]

Stefano, wife and I are looking for a place to stay between our time in Florence and Rome as we close out our three week trip to Italy. Looking at Arezzo. Would love to know why you mention as a romantic destination. Love your videos.

[@StefanoFerro]

Romantic because the historical centre is so beautiful but not as touristy as the other cities in Tuscany. Still expect narrow lanes, cobblestone streets, local tavernas, etc. Another town you should consider between Rome and Florence is Orvieto. It's in Umbria, just a few km from Tuscany. I love it. It's located on top of a small hill reachable with a sort of cable car from the train station. The old centre is once again so beautiful. Enjoy your trip

[@jodiehebert8285]

I wonder where is best and inexpensive to do a long-term rental in Lucca, Pisa or Arrezzo for retired couples? Of course, no car and using public transport.

[@StefanoFerro]

Without a car ....I would say Pisa. Arezzo if you prefer a more charming town, although Posa is so well connected

[@MarcoArezzo76]

Arezzo of course, so many people from all over the world came here to stay... But "the city of gold" is not so cheap.

[@danielrodriguez5349]

Aloha, Grazie for providing such detailed information!! What village is pictured at :27 of your video?

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks for your comment 👍🏻 San Gimignano, famous for its towers

[@TradewindsVacationkits]

Love the music and the video. Whats the name of the song?

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks. At what timestamp?

[@VDoma1]

Hello! What is the music beginning at about 8:15? Thank you!

[@jemimahileah]

Thank you!!!

[@laurabattistini3509]

Vivo in Maremma

[@kylemiller4890]

What is that song at min 7??

[@MB-M-zr7vr]

Thanks for the video. Any suggestions where to stay if go to Tuscany for a month?

[@StefanoFerro]

No worries. It really depends on the month I believe. If in summer, I would stay in a town close to the sea, in this way you can take easy half-day trips to the beach. Pisa and Lucca are great options in this respect. In Autumn I would stay in Siena, close to some amazing wineries, great to experience the busiest time of the year, when they pick up the grapes and make the wine. In winter, Florence, well connected to everywhere in Tuscany and the busiest place in Tuscany (but far from the busy time of summer) Arezzo is a great option for spring if you prefer to be far from the crowd experiencing the local life. I hope I was able to help out Cheers

[@thetiredtourist3927]

one word... Pietrasanta

[@mscuppycake1993]

I want to spend 1 month in Tuscany what do you recommend?

[@StefanoFerro]

Have a check to mel365.com/tuscany-itinerary/ Plenty of material there 😁 Cheers

[@65alef]

Cari stranieri venite a Lucca nella mia città ma quando andrete sulle Mura non ci sono auto a circolare ma se avete bambini teneteli vicino a voi e non lasciateli andare da soli perché possono cadere al di sotto visto che non ci sono parapetti e transenne nella maggior parte del percorso ...e noi lucchesi non ce le vogliamo

[@simonad4503]

Non hai messo Carrara però!

[@korenng5553]

And

[@martincarstensen8527]

I'd add in that if you want countryside agriturismo you'd be better off learning some basic italian phrases. The miscommunication can be frustrating at times when you don't speak the same language.

[@StefanoFerro]

Indeed, not everyone talks English. A few words will help. Also there are a few translations Apps which are great for that

[@thetiredtourist3927]

Pisa... the most overrated part of Tuscany

[@StefanoFerro]

Pisa is not only about the tower and the cathedral. There is more than that in the old town. Certainly is not as beautiful as Siena or Florence

[@hoovergrant]

Thank you!
