Tuscany

Tuscany Holidays

Even by Italian standards, Tuscany is a region of outstanding natural beauty and cultural riches - historic towns packed with architectural and artistic treasures, and surrounded by picture-postcard landscapes of rolling hills and cypress trees.

Tuscany's highlights include Siena, which hosts the famous annual Palio horse race; the wonderfully preserved medieval city of San Gimignano, with its soaring towers; Pisa with its soaring and leaning tower; and, of course, Florence, the 'cradle of the Renaissance', with its magnificent duomo, Uffizi gallery and Ponte Vecchio.

We also know the little gems off the beaten track such as the lovely medieval town of Lucca with it's perfectly preserved walls that you can bicycle round, and some of Tuscany's finest vineyards for private wine tastings. Added to this, Tuscany has miles of Mediterranean coastline. All rather perfect, we think you'll agree.

Head off the beaten track and uncover the little-known gems of a destination

Visit Perugia and Lake Trasimeno

Visit Umbria's hilltop capital, Perugia, and explore its cobbled streets and piazzas, such as the Piazza IV Novembre, the city's former political centre. Perugia was once part of the Etruscan kingdom before coming under Roman rule in 40 BC, so there is plenty of history to be discovered. From the city, head to nearby Lake Trasimeno, another underrated Italian gem with its small islets and waterside towns.

Original Travel Expert: Francesca Cheneviere

My highlight: Staying at the rustic, luxury castle hotel Castello Di Vicarello and doing a one on one tailor made cooking class with the owner Aurora. They have a large organic garden, so we collected all the fresh vegetables first, and cooked up a Tuscan feast in the gorgeous stone clad kitchen.

We had a wonderful time thank you. Castello di Vicarello was beautiful and romantic with such incredible views even from our bathroom window. Our room at Borgo Santo Pietro was especially lovely with it's own garden which was perfect for our first week of honeymoon when we didn't want to do anything much at all.

The trip was fantastic, and Il Pellicano was flawless.
