Tuscany in full. - Beautiful medieval village just over 1 hour from Florence, very busy given its state of conservation and especially the high towers built by its former inhabitants that can be visited with spectacular views. Good accommodation, restaurants and trade. To walk it end to end. Worth a visit.

Wonderful wine tastings and luncheon at Tenuta Guardastelle - What a wonderful find this was! We came across Tenuta Guardastelle on the way to San Gimignano and did the wine tour and luncheon and it was fabulous! The tour and our guide were lovely and the views are ridiculous! So gorgeous. Then we enjoyed the fantastic and delicious luncheon with the wine pairings. All of it was superb! A highlight of our time in Tuscany. Definitely recommended! Sandy T.
