Will Kirstie and Phil fall for the rustic charm of the Tuscan hills, or the luxury of one of the most expensive hotels in Florence?
The Italian countryside attracts around 40 million tourists every year, and away from the packed-out coastal resorts there's a great big slice of rural Tuscan life to be discovered.
Phil is in charge of their budget Tuscan break with £500 per person to spend. He opts to go off the beaten track to an agriturismo farm called La Baccane in the heart of the countryside. It is run by a family, for families, and is the very definition of rustic - 11 hectares complete with vines, olive groves and an orchard.
They are there to live off the farm at a bargain rate of £25 per night per person. It may be simple but there are plenty of added extras - such as free bike hire, a swimming pool, and dinner comes with a free cookery
