Tuscany, Italy, Laura Hamilton

Laura Hamilton is on the hunt for a house in Northern Tuscany with recently married foodies, Joe and Ali. After 25 years together, they are now hoping to find a holiday home where they can enjoy Italian food and culture, and that they can also rent out when they’re back home. Will any of the properties we show them hit the mark for their budget of £110,000?

About the area

Known as the Italian Riviera, this region sits along a crescent of picture-perfect coastline, dotted with seaside towns and marinas, full of chic bustling bars and restaurants serving delicious local cuisine. Head inland and its mountainous terrain offers a slower, more laid-back pace of life, with many medieval villages, tucked away amongst pine-clad forests with breath-taking views.
