Forget about photo albums, Instagram, Facebook and travel blogging – everyone wants an unforgettable holiday in the flesh. Not simply one they can share online, but one that sticks in the memory, solid and fast. It's easy to walk out your door and snap photos, share locations and update posts, but when did you last become so engrossed in a place that you forgot all about social media and simply drank in the sheer wealth of your experience? Chianti Chianti is a place that can offer such a rush. Villas in Tuscany give you prime access to an area which has, since the 1300s, produced light, fruity wines of such elegance and vibrancy that their taste and fame has resounded all over the world. It is hard to forget the experience of walking through a sunlit Tuscan vineyard and stopping to casually sample the fresh, ripe, and authentic wines with the prestigious black rooster crest of Chianti. Florence Time spent in your villas in Tuscany does not restrict you to the verdant fields and olive groves. They are ideal and idyllic restful enclaves from which you can easily venture on a journey that will satiate your soul with artistic wonder. A trip to Florence, the art palace of Italy, will allow you to see the Renaissance come to life, with its glorious architecture and myriad water-colours, canvasses, statues and sculptures from artists as famous as Michelangelo and Botticelli. Pisa If the heady rush of gazing at historic art does not make you forget tags, Tweets and status updates for a moment, taking a trip out from your villas in Tuscany to the unforgettable city of Pisa will. Put aside your posts, don't worry about Wi-Fi, and even relax your grip on your camera as you wander through this old town that simples exhales history. Who could forget the first time they gazed upon the iconic leaning Tower of Pisa, so well stamped on popular imagination? Siena Apart from Florence, few cities or towns can compete with Siena for its representation of all things Tuscan. Famed for its cuisine, culture, sophistication and beauty, a stay in any of the villas in Tuscany should include a day trip to this city, which has its roots in the pre-Roman Etruscan settlements. You can allow the sights of the Piazza del Campo and Mangia Tower sink into your memory as you stroll around the cloistering back streets and quaint alleyways. Umbria Finally, take a short detour out of Tuscany proper to visit the landlocked and mountainous region of Umbria. A trip here takes you away from breathtaking cultural exploits to the simple pleasure of closing your eyes, taking a deep breath of mountain air, and opening them again to see a sunlit valleys and rolling green hills – a sight never to be forgotten.
