Trip Summary

6 nights in Chianti Wine Region

Chianti, located in the center of Tuscany between Florence, Siena and Arezzo, is a charming hill-covered region offering a picturesque landscape of small stone villages, sprawling vineyards and olive groves. With tall green cypress trees and woods bordered with yellow broom, its palette of colors combine to create a painting beautiful enough to rival those of the famous art museums nearby.

From its Etruscan beginnings through the time of the Romans, the ancient region of Chianti was a rich and bountiful land. Mostly inaccessible, it was preserved from ruinous barbarian invasions after the decline of the Roman Empire. By contrast, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, it was a constant battlefield for the struggle between Siena and Florence that both wanted control over its riches. When the fighting finally ended, valleys were cleared and cultivated with chestnut woods as well as olive groves and vineyards, which continue to enrich the region today.

1 nights in Florence

Art, culture, food and wine, Florence has it all! A city rich in beauty, it is a wondrous collection of buildings, paintings and sculptures, leading some to say by simply walking its streets Florence is an open museum to all who visit. Known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, when a period of great wealth and collection of art took place (between 14th to 17th centuries), today Florence has almost 70 museums to explore not including its many churches full of artistic treasures too. This is truly one of the world`s must see sights!

Recommended Stay: At least 2 nights
Must See`s:
The Duomo Complex, Church of Santa Croce, The Cathedral, The Uffizi Gallery, Galleria dell`Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens and so much more!
