Full-day Journeys
STORIES OF CHIANTI
Annamaria’s cellar is small and quiet. The chestnut barrels are the same her grandfather used, though the wine has grown wiser with time.
This little medieval hamlet, perched on the highest hills of the Chianti region, is enough for me to understand everything about this land.
But since it probably isn’t for everyone, we’ll also visit an ancient monastery, a medieval village, a centuries-old terracotta furnace, and the town of Greve in Chianti.
Full day (about 8 hours) : 550 euro
SAN GIMIGNANO SLOW PACE
San Gimignano is a world unto itself. It’s not enough to just pass through. You need time to immerse yourself in its silences and its layers. The museums hold traces not only of great masters, but also of the everyday lives that shaped the stone and the colors. Cloisters and frescoed chapels tells stories and create connections between us and people lived centuries ago. And then come the surprises: unexpected contemporary art objects emerging seemingly out of nowhere, striking an unexpected dialogue with history.

TERRE DI SIENA
Take the time to let southern Tuscany reveal its essence. In Pienza, the Renaissance unfolds gently through sunlit streets and the harmony of Palazzo Piccolomini’s architecture, its terraces reaching out to the soft hills of Val d’Orcia. In Montepulciano, medieval lanes draw you into a past still alive, the town’s noble wines speaking of soil, tradition, and care.
At Monte Oliveto Maggiore, frescoes dance quietly on ancient walls, each stroke of color a reminder of the delicate balance between art and landscape. Along the way, small villages offer their quiet charm, and a Tuscan meal, infused with local flavors and wines, becomes a natural pause in a day rich with discovery. It’s a journey of connection, not just through place, but through time, taste, and a sense of belonging.
Full day (about 10 hours) : 600 euro
CERTALDO AND VOLTERRA
Certaldo, Boccaccio’s hometown, preserves a medieval fabric that still reverberates through its streets. Here, literature and the built environment coexist, carrying a rich cultural memory.
Volterra, perched on wind-carved hills, reveals a landscape shaped by Etruscan craftsmanship, Roman engineering, and medieval fortifications. This layering of human creativity offers a continuous dialogue between history and art.
Tuscany’s essence is found in these enduring elements, where creativity and heritage merge seamlessly.
Full day (about 10 hours) : 600 euro
