See Florence turned into a 'carpet of flowers'

Whatsonwhen relays that Piazza della Signoria and the area around the Uffizi is turned into a cacophony of colour for those on a Tuscany holiday to enjoy.

"Perfectly arranged and meticulously tended, the display provides a riot of coloUr," the site says.

The L-shaped main square is both a magnet for tourists - with its Renaissance architecture and bronze statues - and the political heart of the city, making it an interesting place to visit at any time.

Visitors to the square will find that it is a popular meeting place for both locals and tourists.

Various villas can be found scattered across the beautiful Italian countryside and many of which are off the beaten track, allowing holiday makers to immerse themselves in Tuscan life.
