Description

Five days in Florence in the wonders that changed the history of art and then a three-day Grand Tour amid hills, castles and vineyards as far as the eye can see: Pisa, Lucca as well as the Val d'Orcia and Montepulciano. This is an ideal trip for couples who want to be amazed by Tuscan authenticity.

Florence is the epitome of the Renaissance, and its historic centre allows you to immerse yourself in the greatest manifestations of art: from Santa Maria Novella to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti.

It is also the city where geniuses such as Dante Alighieri and Leonardo da Vinci lived and where the quantity of masterpieces, housed in the Uffizi for example, surpasses all imagination: Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli. Here you can wander through timeless backstreets, crossing the Arno River on the Ponte Vecchio, where goldsmiths' workshops continue a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages.

Or you can explore routes that combine nature and landscape, such as the Boboli Gardens, a delight of the Medici dynasty, and the San Minato hill, with its church offering a magnificent view of the entire city and the Arno River.

After Florence, continue the journey through the Tuscan countryside by visiting the Val d'Orcia to combine art, culture, nature and gastronomy at unrivalled levels.

The villages have retained their medieval glory with one more beautiful than the other: Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Castiglion Fiorentino and San Quirico d'Orcia. The vineyards are uniquely positioned making it possible to produce extraordinary wines: in Montalcino there are the cellars of Brunello, which has made its mark on tables all over the world, and in Montepulciano you can taste Vino Nobile.

And for those looking for more beauty, from Val d'Orcia it is easy to reach the treasures of Siena, but also Umbria with its fascinating Perugia.
