Florence & Tuscan Hilltop Escape

Days 1-3  Florence  
Fly to the wondrous city of Florence and take a private transfer to your hotel. Venture into the city and cap off your first day with authentic Italian pasta. After sipping a traditional espresso, begin the second day with a visit to the symbol of Florence – the iconic Duomo, a striking architectural feat. Using your included ticket, ascend the 463 steps for incredible views from the tallest building in the city. Afterwards, opt to visit the Uffizi Gallery and be astounded by the beauty of Italian Renaissance art.  The next morning, perhaps visit the Accademia Gallery, famous for housing Michelangelo’s legendary David statue.  In the afternoon, become a master of Italian cooking with a course teaching you the art of Italian pizza and gelato-making.

Days 4-7  Florence to Fiesole    
Today, leave the hustle and bustle behind as you transfer into the beautiful rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. The picturesque town of Fiesole is home to gorgeous gardens, archaeological ruins, significant artwork, and boasts unrivalled views of Florence. Spend the next few days experiencing the Tuscan lifestyle, relaxing in the hotel grounds or exploring the nearby area. Enjoy some exciting hikes or bicycle excursions with trails that lead almost from the hotel’s doorstep. Tastings at nearby olive oil mills and wine cellars are also available to further connect you with the essence of Tuscany.
