Unique Holidays in Tuscany

Tuscany is one of those places that just carries so much weight in our imagination, from the idyllic countryside to the artistic hub of Florence, there really is so much to be appreciated in this renowned Italian region. At Not in the Guidebooks we love Tuscany for its potential, it’s endless charm and hospitable residents. We have curated some of our all time favourite, and quintessentially Not in the Guidebooks holidays, right here in Tuscany.

From the joy of riding horseback through the Tuscany countryside, to the delicious food you can make with hosts like Mirella and Francesco. If you’re looking for some truly unique breaks in Tuscany, then you’ve come to the right place.
