SIENA - SAN GIMIGNANO - PISA

Most famous for the Palio, the annual horserace held in the main square (Piazza del Campo), Siena is a city of quiet beauty easily appreciated by strolling up and down the largely pedestrian streets.
It is in complete harmony with the surrounding countryside, which you will drive through, a picture postcard of Tuscany : soft landscapes ,rounded hills,cypress-shrouded hilltops and farmhouses.

 

 

Probably the most famous small town in Italy, there are few places that evoke, with as much power, the atmosphere of mediaeval Tuscany.
San Gimignano dominates the sorrounding area (Val d'Elsa) with its breathtaking skyline bristling with towers. Only fifteen of the original seventy-two towers survive today. These towers represented weath and influence more than security and defence: the higher the tower the richer the family.
To complete your experience in this town , remind your driver to take you to taste the well known white wine of this town: Vernaccia di San Gimignano. A breathtaking experience of a different kind!

 

Just short drive from Florence going in direction of the Tuscan Mediterrean
coast is the city of Pisa. This city is a jewel in itself.
The "Campo dei Miracoli" (Miracle Square) is a absolute must with its group of world famous monuments: the leaning Tower, Cathedral and Baptistry.
