If someone asked me which region best represents the essence of Italy, my answer would undoubtedly be Tuscany. This enchanting region embodies everything you imagine when you think of Italy...

I’m the kind of girl who likes to live like a local. And that’s what I’ve done on every single trip since.

I’ve hired a car on every one of my Italian adventures except one, when I was staying in Milan for a week, and relied on my tiny size 3 feet and trains to get around.
