Italy, 6 Days · Tailor-made by car
Life is beautiful in Tuscany. Few landscapes in the world captivate the soul so much as those of the Italian region that gave birth to such prominent figures as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Amerigo Vespucci, Machiavelli and Brunelleschi. Its sublime countryside, its velvety sun-blessed hills, its olive trees, its rows of perfectly aligned cypresses that surround traditional stone farmhouses, its pristine valleys and its medieval villages perched on verdant hills have been inspiring world famous artists for centuries on end. And in Tuscany, even the most routine thing becomes an expression of art and good taste. The Tuscan lifestyle and its rich cultural, artistic, natural and culinary heritage make this pocket-sized European treasure one of the most sought-after destinations in the world. For the second of our Tuscany tours, all you need is a car, a yearning to discover the secrets of the Italian dolce vita Italian and a desire to take things slow. That's because many landscapes, aromas, flavours and experiences will be awaiting you along the way. From Florence to Siena there are swathes of magical lands that could have been plucked from an artist's palette; castles, convents and palaces, sometimes in ruins, which peek out in the distance; charming medieval towns such as San Gimignano; Etruscan treasures like Volterra; spectacular villages in the Val d'Orcia; and stunning towns such as Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano. Splendour and grandeur at your fingertips!

- Parking in central Florence. The best way to enjoy Florence's historic centre is to park your car and explore the old town by foot. Please note that car parks in the city centre are usually more expensive. Depending on your hotel's location, here are some recommendations. There is a public car park in Piazzale Michelangelo, very close to the centre. It is usually filled early in the day due to its location. Another option is to leave your car in one of the car parks outside the city centre and take public transport, such as the tram or bus. For example, you could park in the Villa Costanza car park off the A1 motorway and, from there, take tram # 1 to the city centre. Near the centre, you'll find parking in Via del Sansavino and Via del Gelsomino. Another option is to go to the car park in Firenze Impruneta (formerly called Firenze Certosa), and from there take bus 37 to central Florence in 20 minutes. For more information, please check the official website of the municipality of Florence: http://mobilita.comune.fi.it/muoversi/muoversi/parcheggi.html. In the Firenze Parcheggi Sp section you'll find a list of car parks managed by the Firenze Parcheggi Spa public agency.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
