below, but first some important information about the Holiday Property Bond. It is designed to provide holidays for life but it is an investment product so subject to charges, your capital is at risk and you may not be able to cash in during the first two years.

More about Stigliano
Just 20 minutes away from the famous medieval city of Siena is the hilltop village of Stigliano. With its impressive stone tower standing sentinel over the valley, Stigliano looks much as it did in the 13th century. The ancient buildings have, however, been restored to provide attractive holiday apartments. Although the surrounding grounds have been expertly landscaped, they continue to feature olive groves and cypress trees, scattered with rosemary, thyme, and sage bushes.
With Florence as its capital, Tuscany can rightly be described as the true heart of Italy. It was at the very centre of the Renaissance and offers the discerning visitor a wealth of cultural and artistic delights. In fact, the region boasts the highest number of art galleries, museums and medieval and renaissance towns in the country. It was not by chance that great British authors such as Shelley, Byron and D.H. Lawrence found inspiration here, and that Dante and Leonardo da Vinci were both born in the region.
See the world's greatest masterpieces
Florence has more than 70 museums, so you won't be able to visit them all during your stay. If you only have time for one, head to the city's most famous: Uffizi. It is home to some of the most incredible masterpieces in the world, from Michelangelo's David to Bottichelli's Birth of Venus.
Watch the Il Palio horse race
Palio di Siena is one of the most famous sporting events in Italy and is well worth watching if you enjoy horse racing. Taking place twice a year (usually in July and August), the race lasts an average of 75 seconds. However, the atmosphere is so incredible, it really must not be missed.
If you're visiting at the wrong time of year to catch the race, we suggest heading to Siena anyway. It's wonderfully unspoilt and full of religious buildings, medieval streets and ancient city walls.
Relax in a Tuscan garden
You haven't truly experienced the region until you've spent some time in a Tuscan garden, as they're such an important part of North Italian life! Over the years they've become more and more elaborate, with many now boasting waterworks, sculptures and rare plants. We highly recommend taking a trip to Pisa to visit the first and oldest university botanical garden in the world.
Drink Chianti in Chianti
Wine lovers must visit Chianti, a region famous for its red wines of the same name. The vineyards are a key part of its stunning landscape, which also comprises stone houses, tiny villages and beautiful olive groves. Many of the wineries offer tours and tastings to the public, so why not take some time to find out more about how this tipple is made?
Visit the Town of Fine Towers
The hill town of San Gimignano and its 14 towers look amazing from afar, but it's well worth getting up close too. Just southwest of Florence, the Town of Fine Towers used to have a total of 72 towers, all of varying heights. It is home to an impressive number of churches as well, but the Collegiata and St Augustine are the best. Both have collections of famous Renaissance artworks inside.
