Property for Sale in Tuscany

Tuscany is a very peaceful and historical region of Italy that encompasses some beautiful cities, including its capital Florence, full of Renaissance art and architecture, but also the hidden gems of Lucca, birthplace of Puccini, and Grosseto, a small and peaceful city.

The region lies on the east coast of central Italy, has an area of 23,000 kilometres squared and 3.8 million inhabitants. If you’re not one for numbers, Tuscany is about the size of Israel or the US state of New Jersey, but less populous than both.

Home to lyrical landscapes and world-class art, there are many reasons people buy property in Tuscany. The region enjoys an average of 11 hours of sun in summer. Temperatures are highest in July, averaging between 26-30°C, plus, relative humidity drops to 40-60% too. Winters are mild, dropping to 7°C on the coast and around 4°C inland. Winter months can still have sunny days in Tuscany, but it’s usually wetter and colder – especially at night.
