Now is the time for a vacation in Tuscany, the current budget destination in Europe

CHIANTI, Italy - May 2, 2013 - PRLog -- This is the moment to start planning your trip to Tuscany, Italy, and its beautiful countryside, wines and the art cities of Florence, Sienna, Lucca and Pisa. Tuscany has always been one of the top tourist destinations but as economic times have changed, some have the impression that costs might be too high. However, a recent assessment of prices for food, accommodation and transport for visitors to Tuscany came up with the surprising result that costs for tourists have actually decreased in real terms despite the fall in value of the dollar against the euro. Tuscany now offers the opportunity for a great vacation without the need to spend a fortune. Restaurant meals now cost less than back home and non-hotel accommodations offer tremendous bargains. Agriturismi (houses and apartments on working farms), rural and village villas, apartments and B&B rooms all offer incredibly good value.
