With exquisite palaces, gastronomy and scenery, it belongs in these lands where the absolute Art of living is represented through history, generosity and the talent of humankind. Driving up the lanes in the vineyards to find a hilltop village, taking stock and then hurtling back downhill past the guard of cypress trees has to be tried. This itinerary reveals the very essence of this atmosphere. From the artistic wealth in Florence to the infinitely diverse wines that extol the terroir here. You’ll be enthralled at the ingenious construction of the villages of Asciano, Pienza and San Gimignano. And by Sienna’s enchanting beauty. Tuscany is a graceful land.
