Arezzo,the medieval city par excellence, who gave birth to the architect, Giorgio Vasari who worked at the court of Medici Family. The old town is of unique beauty with many antique shops. The Antiques market in Arezzo is held on the first Sunday of each month with exhibitors from all over Italy.
Cortona was made even more famous by the book "Under the Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes, whom I have personally met. Cortona remains a must for those who want to breathe and live an unforgettable experience through the alleyways of the town, visit the Etruscan Museum, peek in the small shops, wine shops and trattorias.
Other Driving Tours
Cortona and Arezzo
Cinque Terre
For Nature and Sea Lovers a unique corner of the world can be found in Cinque Terre with its five towns: Rio Maggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monte Rosso. You can walk, train or navigate from town to town under my guidance.
Maremma Tours
In my opinion, Maremma is the "Tuscany yet to be discovered", it is still possible to visit countries such as Pitigliano (The Little Jerusalem), Sovana, Saturnia, etc., where time stopped a few centuries ago. Only a few people know that in this area of Southern Tuscany tourism is still a luxury for the few, with secluded 5 star hotels and Golf resorts which make your vacation a very relaxing experience. In this area are produced several emerging wines such as Ciliegiolo, Morellino di Scansano, Vermentino, Ansonica del Giglio together with the less local Cabernet Sauvignon, Viogner and Chardonay. Several of its small wineries have become reknowned in the world in the last few years and offer wine tasting accompanied with typical cheeses and other food products.
During the summer and fall it is easy to find wine and food festivals, called "Sagra" in the small towns , where you eat outdoors at long tables next to the local people in an absoute, authentic atmosphere.
Tuscan Archipelago
The Tuscan cluster of islands (Archipelago) offers great excursions by boat, fisherman harbors with cafes where the local hang out, and great authentic seafood eateries owned by fisherman families. You can opt to visit towns along the coast or take a boat, fish and swim in the Tirrenean sea.
