Tuscany - Italy 
♦ a discovery of Tuscan landscapes ♦ leisurely walking ♦ cultural visits
Think of a land of gently rolling hills, of olive groves and poplar trees, of medieval towns, a place that was the power base of the Medici family and the birthplace of renaissance art, and you can only be thinking of Tuscany. Few nations, let alone a single area of a country can boast such an overpowering array of talent, literary, artistic, political, all concentrated in this Northern region of Italy and its towns of Florence, Lucca, Siena and San Gimignano. .
The holiday will combine walking and sightseeing, (sometimes the latter is more exhausting than the former). During our stay, there will be a visit to Florence, where you will be shown round major tourist attractions by your guides before being left to your own devices in the afternoon to visit some of the sights still to be seen, revisit your favourites or simply relax at a roadside Trattoria. The Choice is yours.
Further visits include Siena, Lucca, which will be organised for you. There is also a visit to the nearby Villa Rospigliosa for a Gala Evening including food and music in this 17th century Bernini-designed magnificent Mansion House, an experience you will not forget.
