One of the most popular medieval centres in the world, home of the Palio and great artists. It is a real pleasure to stroll around discovering Siena: from the evocative Piazza del Campo, dominated by the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia, to the Duomo, it is an authentic treasure chest. If you love art, you will adore the paintings preserved in the Museo Civico; if you have a sweet tooth, you will appreciate the parade of pastry shops that sweeten the historic centre.

This enchanting city retains all the charm of its Etruscan origins: admire the ancient city walls, the large gates and the remains of the acropolis. Step back in time with the remains of the Roman theatre, up to the medieval towers and churches. Among craft workshops and shops selling typical products, you can buy alabaster souvenirs, a true Volterra peculiarity.

Monteriggioni is a fortified village, untouched as it was in medieval times: it seems as if time has stood still on this hill. As if under a spell, you will stroll among crenellated towers, stone houses and cobbled streets, immersed in the Tuscan countryside. In July, during the 'Medieval Festival', noble ladies, costumed commoners and brave knights come to life again: a unique and exciting event.

One of Tuscany's best-loved cities for its perfect combination of art, gardens and outdoor activities. You can stroll along the ancient walls, entirely walkable and dotted with green spaces and picnic areas. In the centre, you will admire the 'city of 100 churches': of all of them, the Duomo and the Basilica of San Frediano are a must-see. After a visit to the Roman amphitheatre, stop to taste buccellato, a typical Lucchese cake.

Florence needs no introduction: it is the 'Cradle of the Renaissance'. You just decide where to start: art and culture can be breathed in at every corner, from the Uffizi Gallery to the majestic Duomo, crowned by Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery, to the Medici residences of Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. The Florentine centre offers a thousand opportunities for entertainment: from the boutiques in Via Tornabuoni to the theatres and historic cafés.

Certaldo is a town of intact medieval charm, divided into two levels: Certaldo Basso and the Castle of Certaldo. You have probably already heard of it: it is the birthplace of the supreme Boccaccio, whose birthplace and childhood places you can visit. In the upper part, you will stroll through narrow stone streets and craft shops, enjoying an enchanting view of the Tuscan hills.

After an intense journey to discover Tuscany, you deserve a regenerating break: immerse yourself in the warm waters of Rapolano Terme, one hour from San Gimignano. In this thermal resort, in the heart of the province of Siena, you can relax in two establishments: Terme San Giovanni and Terme Antica Querciolaia.

The Chianti region is a journey through flavours, aromas, colours and traditions. The absolute protagonist is wine, which we recommend you taste in Panzano, Castellina, Greve, Radda and Badia a Passignano. In these villages, your wine and food itinerary is interwoven with postcard landscapes, green hills and ancient medieval churches.

This area in southern Tuscany is dotted with small, beautiful villages. Between rows of cypress trees and lush vineyards, one breathes a perfect harmony with nature, which is at its best here. Excellent wines such as Nobile di Montepulciano, Rosso di Montalcino and Pecorino di Pienza are born in the Val d'Orcia. The abbeys of Sant'Antimo and Monte Oliveto Maggiore are authentic architectural gems surrounded by greenery: not to be missed.
