If you fall into that category, here are some perfect things to do to on a couples' holiday Take a long walk If you’re not in the mood to sightsee in the busier places, and are enjoying the peace and quiet of your Tuscany villa rental accommodation, why not just take a long stroll in the immediate area around you? Chianti is so beautiful that it is a treat in itself to just discover it on foot. Breathe in some fresh air, admire its lush landscapes and discover some glorious castles and gardens bit by bit. You don’t need to go very far in Chianti to find a picture perfect photo opportunity. Bask in the beauty and fresh breezes of olive groves and sunburnt hillsides while spending quality time with your special someone. Visit the wineries Chianti is, as many people know, all about the wine, so you really can’t say you’ve been here unless you get to experience the local specialties. Chianti Classico is the ultimate if you are serious about tasting the finest. This area of wine production stretches between Florence and Siena and is the top producer of the famous Chianti Classico wine, which began 2000 years ago. The rich, ruby red colour is the trademark of a quality Chianti wine; most wineries have their own tasting rooms so guests can experience the products and get to know more about Sangiovese grapes that make the wine so special and unique. Enjoy the food Naturally, these excellent wines are best paired with authentic local dishes; so while here don’t miss the chance to experience some of the local offerings. Tuscan cuisine is one of the best in the world, simply because it starts with the finest ingredients. Grilled meats, breads, and mellow cheeses are the basics of Tuscan cooking. The meals are prepared simply, with the emphasis on retaining the integrity of each key ingredient. Some of the must-tries are tortelli and baked stuffed lamb. The ever-popular pasta marinara is also very good. Don’t forget to sample the local olive oil and the variety of wonderful local cheeses as well. They are simply sublime.

The unbelievable food tastes even better out in the fresh air and sunshine. Here in Chianti, there are plenty of truly amazing sights to see.
