Destinations

Florence & Eastern Tuscany

Florence is a city buzzing with romance and history, set in a region of gently rolling hills, sun-kissed vineyards and avenues of cypress trees.

Siena & Southern Tuscany

Beautifully preserved, medieval Siena crowns a region that produces some of Italy’s most famous wines.

Assisi & Umbria

With the plains spreading picturesquely below and Monte Subasio rearing above, the home of St Francis welcomes pilgrims.

Florence & Eastern Tuscany

Cradle of the Renaissance and home of Machiavelli, Michelangelo and the Medici, Florence is magnetic, romantic and brilliantly absorbing.

FLORENCE

Return time and again and you still won’t see it all. Stand on a bridge over the Arno river several times in a day and the light, mood and view change every time. Surprisingly small as it is, Florence (Firenze) looms large on Europe’s ‘must-see’ list. Host to the tourist masses that flock here to feast on world-class art, Tuscany’s largest city buzzes with romance and history. Towers and palaces evoke a thousand tales of its medieval past; designer boutiques and artisan workshops pearl its streets; and the local drinking and dining scene is second to none.
