Inside my Ebook, The Ultimate Guide to Tuscany

I just came home from three weeks in Tuscany with a very full camera roll, an even longer list of notes, and so many new recommendations that I couldn’t wait to share with you. One of the first things I did when I returned was completely refresh my ebook, The Ultimate Guide to Tuscany.

While the new edition is shorter than the original, it's significantly more useful. I reduced it from more than 60 pages to a cleaner, thoughtfully organized 45+ page guide because I wanted it to feel like something you'd actually reference while planning your trip

The result is a beautifully organized, clickable guide that helps answer the most important Tuscany questions:

• Where should you stay?

• Which part of Tuscany is right for your trip?

• Do you need a rental car?

• Which wineries are actually worth visiting?

• Where should you eat?

• How do you turn all of those ideas into an itinerary that actually makes sense?

I’ve been getting so many requests on Instagram for more places to stay, so I significantly expanded that section. You’ll now find a curated collection of resorts, winery hotels, romantic borgos, relaxed agriturismos, and private villas throughout Florence, Chianti, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza, and the Val d’Orcia.

The villa recommendations include important details such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the atmosphere of each property, nearby towns, and the amenities that make it worth considering. Whether you’re planning a romantic trip, a family vacation, or a week in Tuscany with a group of friends, you can quickly find an option that works for the way you want to travel.

I’ve also updated and expanded the restaurant recommendations, with separate sections for Florence, San Gimignano, Siena, Chianti, and the Val d’Orcia. You’ll find everything from coffee and pastry shops to casual trattorias, beautiful countryside lunches, and restaurants worth planning an entire evening around.

Tuscany can be surprisingly difficult to organize because its most beautiful towns, wineries, villas, and countryside hotels are spread across a large region.

That is why the guide is organized by destination.

Each regional section explains what the area is known for, how to get there, what to do, and which experiences you can book nearby. There are direct links to wine tours, cooking classes, vineyard lunches, truffle hunts, artisan workshops, private transfers, hotels, villas, wineries, and restaurants throughout the guide.

You won’t have to search through dozens of tabs trying to remember which winery was close to which town or whether the villa you loved was actually two hours away from everything else.

I’ve already done that part for you.

The new guide includes:

• Essential planning links and answers to the most common Tuscany questions

• Regional guidance for Florence, Chianti, San Gimignano, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino

• Carefully selected tours, tastings, cooking classes, and countryside experiences

• Luxury hotels, winery hotels, borgos, agriturismos, and private villas

• Standout wineries throughout Chianti, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, and Montalcino

• Restaurant and café recommendations organized by destination

• Nearly 200 clickable links to help you continue researching and booking directly
