Chianti Classico Wine tour from Florence

Siena, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni - Roundtrip private tour

Love this day tour!. We start going to Siena, the famous antagonist city of Florence during the twelfth century.

Its soaring skyline is its pride, dominated by the Gothic cathedral (Duomo) and the taut needle of the Torre del Mangia and yet the shell shaped Piazza del Campo, probably captures the most attention and fame. It has been seen in films, photographs, and advertising campaigns. The bricks cover the sweetly sloping land underneath and are witness to many events in history, but the most intriguing is the "Palio" horse race, one of the most important things in the life of a Siena native. After my explanations enjoy your free time.

Then to San Gimignano, the beautiful town located on the top of a hill and famous for its towers, also a Unesco World Heritage. Initially seat of a small Etruscan village during Hellenistic period. Last stop at the ancient Monteriggioni fortress for a gelato before the return to your hotel.

Full day tour leaving from Florence and surroundings.

Places of rest and recreation, fresh and flowered gardens, love nests and places for plots, beautiful Renaissance architecture. Here are the Medici Villas.

The Medici villa's were the typical day trip of my family when I was a kid. Villa Petraia garden was one of the favourite places to hide in while cutting school and then the Villas were often a lovely moment of relax with the "closest friends".

A lot of funny and beautiful memories of mine are related with the Medici Villas and their secrets. And it's not strange because the same places saw the loves and the stories of many people in the past.

Now I sometimes get away from the city chaos to spend some quiet time in the rooms and the gardens who hosted the Medici's relaxation times and I perfectly understand why they chose to spend time in these places!

Won't you let me take you in these atmospheres?
