Pizza is a must if you are visiting in Italy and it's not hard to find tasty pizza but we thought it might be helpful to compile a list of some of the best-rated and most beloved pizza places in Tuscany for your convenience. Once you have found a luxury villa in Tuscany, just stop by any of these places and fill up your tummy with some delicious treats.

1. Florence – Pizza Man

The top-rated pizza place in Florence on TripAdvisor, this is a very well-established and beloved business that actually has franchises in several different locations around Florence (Via C. Del Prete, Via Rocca Tedalda, Via Dell’Agnolo, Via Del Sansovino, Via Pacinotti and V.le De Amicis)
and, even, one in London. Viale De Amicis is, in fact, the favoured location but we wager that most are probably just as good and, if reviews are anything to go by, it's really very good. They note that “the place is FULL of locals” and “the staff is friendly and the pizza is great”.

If you have found a luxury villa in Florence with us, we have an amazing, limited-time offer for you to avail of: we will be organising free, guided tours of Florence with our experienced, expert guides – the perfect way to start off any holiday in the city!

After this date it will still be available but at the normal price of 25€ per person. A typical family of 4 could expect to save up to 100€ with this wonderful offer, so what are you waiting for?

Montaione is a stunning Tuscan village in the Province of Florence that is, potentially, the most beautiful town in all of Tuscany; a rather big claim, we are aware, but not a baseless one. Perched up high on a hill, accessible only by winding mountain roads snaking through thickly wooded surroundings, this lesser-known gem is wildly picturesque, though, perhaps, not the most happening spot in the world. However, if you are looking to well and truly get away from it all for a while, why not find a luxury villa in Florence and spend a day in the stunning surroundings of this incredibly peaceful hamlet?

Far off the typical tourist route, away from long queues and bustling crowds and steeped in preserved natural beauty and cultural gems, the town has more to offer than first meets the eye. While the town does not have its own vineyards, which is a reason that many of its young people have left for elsewhere and more job opportunities, it is located in the Elsa Valley.

As mentioned in the last two posts in this series, the Bargello is one of the best and most important art museums in Florence and is really a rather exceptional institution. A sculpture museum, it is home to a large variety of pieces, including early works by great masters of the Renaissance such as Donatello and Michelangelo, as well as lesser-known but equally important artists such as Giambologna and Cellini.

It is a must-see art museum so art lovers who have found a luxury villa in Florence should be sure to set aside time to visit! Here are our final picks of highlights of the collection.

6. Giambologna's Birds

Speaking of Giambologna, there is another, really rather intriguing group of works by the artist located in the Bargello's collection.
