The Tuscany region
Tuscany Enchanting cities rich in art and history, the woods, hills and fragrant vineyards. And then, of course, there is the sea. A history as the crib of the Renaissance and the birth place of men such as Dante, Leonardo and Michelangelo. An extremely enticing gastronomic tradition. An atmosphere that is so relaxing, it seems that time slows down acquiring a delightful intensity. Among the Italian regions, Tuscany is one of the most beloved.
Umbria An enchanting, almost mystic atmosphere for a region that is so small, if you look at its size, but incredibly intense in its expression of nature. Here the colour green expresses itself in all its shades from the cool woods to the sundrenched olive tree groves, in the plains as in the hills. The slow flow of the rivers accompanies the more agitated movement of the streams, the crystal-clear water alternates between sparkling waterfalls. And next to this natural patrimony are its numerous treasures of art and culture: hamlets, cities, castles, villas, churches and monasteries.
Lazio Stage to the eras that made the history of man grand; Lazio attracts us with all of the fascination of the archectrual and artistic masterpieces of the ancient world. And surprisingly, the immortal splendors of the past are accompanied by a large natural and environmental patrimony. A wealth to be discovered one step at a time through the variety of the entirely Italian landscapes: extensive beaches, seaside pine-tree groves, plains, hills and mountains.
Amalfi Coast, Sicily and Apulia If the kindness and beauty of a land depend on the kindness and beauty of the people that inhabit it, Naples with its islands and the Amalfi Coast are no exception. The hospitality of Southern Italy is an innate and unrepeatable gift. As in Puglia and Sicily, where a nature that enchants the eyes is combined with an artistic and cultural tradition that nurtures the soul.
Chianti / Barberino Val d'Elsa area
Halfway between the beautiful cities of Florence and Siena, Barberino Val d'Elsa is a quiet mediaeval hamlet famous for its church and panoramic views. It was formerly a military post used to separate the Florentines and the Senese during the 16th Century, and was home to the poet Francesco da Barberino who went on to inspire Dante and many others.
The hamlet itself is opposite the church of Sant'Appiano and in the distance you can see the impressive towers of San Gimignano. Local activities include horseback riding, walking, fishing, hot air ballooning and wine-tasting. With Florence, Pisa and Sienna all within 90mins drive, this also is a perfect location for day trips and site-seeing around some of Italy's most beautiful cities.
