About Tuscany

Tuscany's Val d'Orcia landscape — cypress-lined roads curving through golden wheat fields to hilltop farmhouses — has become the visual shorthand for Italian beauty. Siena's Campo is Europe's finest medieval piazza; the Chianti wine road threads through vine-covered hills; Pienza and Montepulciano offer Renaissance idealism frozen in stone. Hire a car, rent an agriturismo and eat and drink your way through a week of extraordinary pleasure.
