Tuscany Villas

Florence is surrounded by numerous Villas dating from the time of the Medici, designed by the most important Renaissance architects.

Their Italian gardens stir in visitor admiration and wonder at the culture of the Renaissance. We would particularly recommend Villa Artimino, la Petraia, i Collazzi and Gamberaia.

Tuscany Wines

Tuscany produces some of the most widely admired wines in the world such as Chianti, il Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, il Brunello di Montalcino, il Sassicaia.

There are numerous fiestas and festivals dedicated to this noble drink.

One can visit the wine cellars of the most prestigious producers, try the first Crus accompanied some small bite to eat, or even take part in the annual grape harvest.

The Palio of Siena

The Palio has its origin at the end of the 1400. All of Siena is passionately involved in supporting the horse which represents their particular Contrada, or district, during the race which takes place in the central Piazza del Campo.

It is an annual event occurring on the 2nd July and 16th August. It is an unmissable event drawing together both history, ancient costumes and culture of Siena and sustaining the attention of Historians and writers throughout the ages. The spectacle is complimented by flags hanging in the streets, procession in Medieval Costumes, songs so that one is caught up in the great passion which consume Siena at this time of the year.
