A journey for pleasure seekers
This is a journey that takes you to the heart of Tuscany - a perfect combination of the vibrant city life of Florence and the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside. With two nights in Florence and five nights on a charming farm near the village of Monteriggioni, you get to experience the best of the region.
Florence: Italian art and history in the heart of Tuscany
Start the journey with two nights in Florence, a city full of art, history, and life. Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance and a true mecca for culture lovers. Visit the majestic cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with its iconic dome, stroll over the Ponte Vecchio and enjoy the view of the Arno River, or explore the Uffizi which houses some of the world's most famous artworks.
The city's narrow alleys lead to lively squares, where you can enjoy an espresso or a glass of local wine. Florence also offers fantastic shopping opportunities - from luxury designer stores to charming markets like the Mercato di San Lorenzo.
As the day turns to evening, there are few things as delightful as settling down on a rooftop bar and enjoying the view of the city's rooftops. Sipping on an Aperol Spritz or a glass of Tuscan wine as you watch the sun set over the Arno River, it's easy to understand Florence's allure. The city is a perfect start to a Tuscan journey and gives an intense taste of Italian history and joie de vivre.
Vineyards, tranquility, and culinary experiences
After two days of Florence's lively atmosphere, the journey continues to the Tuscan countryside, where five nights on a cozy farm in Monteriggioni await. Here you are surrounded by rolling hills, cypresses, and vineyards that create an almost unrealistically beautiful backdrop.
Here you can visit charming medieval villages like San Gimignano, known for its towers, and Montepulciano, where world-famous wines like Vino Nobile are produced.
The Tuscan countryside invites both relaxation and activities. Take a bike ride through the vineyards, hike along marked trails, or visit local wineries that offer wine tastings of the region's exquisite wines. You can also treat yourself to a stay at an agriturismo, where homemade Tuscan food and genuine hospitality are at the center.
Food and wine: Tuscany on a plate
The food in Tuscany is simple and authentic, but full of flavor. Enjoy classic dishes like ribollita, a hearty soup with bread and vegetables, or bistecca alla fiorentina, a juicy T-bone steak. Local trattorias and restaurants serve meals that reflect the region's rich culinary traditions. And of course, you should taste the local wines, like Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, directly from the source.

From here you can easily continue to the Tuscan countryside by car, which gives you the freedom to explore the region's most beautiful corners at your own pace.
