Tuscany, Italy
Rolling hills, golden sunsets, and picturesque vineyards define Tuscany. This region feels like stepping into a postcard — ideal for wine tastings, countryside drives, and slowing down to enjoy the beauty of Italy’s rural charm.
This was the most peaceful place to stay. There is a pool and a restaurant attached. We also did a cooking lesson with the chef where he taught us how to make pasta. We stayed here and then went to Florence for the day to explore.

Climb up to the top of Brunelleschi’s tower. Right next to the dome, so you probably only want to do one or the other since it takes awhile and contains a lot of stair climbing. I climbed the tower and although the views are similar, the tower has a ...
