This tour allows you to take in the best of Tuscany as well as exploring its equally stunning (and blissfully tourist-free) neighbours, Le Marche and Abruzzo. Start in central Florence, where you’ll stay in the quirky Florence Town House boutique hotel, which is walking distance to the many glorious sights of Florence. Stoll to the Ponte Vechio or stately Duomo, or watch with world go by in a stylish bistro or coffee shop in the Piazza. Don't forget some designer shopping in this chic city. Continue southwards to stay in The Winery in the heart of the Chianti hills. Perched just above a pretty market town, this small vineyard enjoys far-reaching views of the surrounding vines and hilltop towns. Explore Siena, San Gimignano and Assisi. Don't miss a tour of the Winery’s cutting edge cellar and of course a tasting of the premium Chianti produced there. On more lazy days by the infinity pool, your private butler will attend to your every need. The next stop is Le Marche, where you’ll stay at The Palm House. The palazzo’s name derives from the rare species of palm dominating its beautiful gardens - parents to those lining the nearby sandy beach. Staying in its Luxury Suite, you’ll enjoy views of the surrounding valley and hotel pool from your private balcony. The many ancient towns in the environs are crammed with cultural treasures, or for a more prosaic day out, head to the many fashion outlet stores in the region. Finally head south into mountainous Abruzzo. This region of fabulous landscapes and potent wines is reminiscent of the Tuscany of 20 years ago. You'll stay in a hilltop Castle, in a pretty market town. Explore the narrow cobbled streets of the mellow hilltop towns of the region, or walk in the National Park. The hotel's luxury suite and panoramic pool terrace have breathtaking views - an ideal spot for some final relaxation before turning home once again. Prices from £1017 per person, based on 3 nights in each property in Standard Double rooms, with 2 sharing on B&B basis. Supplements apply for the Suites and activities described.
