Few landscapes have inspired artists throughout history more than the Tuscan countryside. Beginning with the Roman Empire and reaching a zenith in the Italian Renaissance, the soothing beauty of southern Tuscany has led to innumerous classic works ranging from Pliny's poetry to the Mona Lisa by Da Vinci. Explore these undiscovered hills, fields and forests, and take a step back in time.
This innovative tour is designed to combine fascinating walks to some of the oldest Etruscan settlements in Italy, with stays in the absolute finest spas in Europe (massages included!). The Terme di Saturnia, rated 3rd in the world by Travel&Leisure, as well as the outstanding newcomer, Hotel Adler Thermae in the medieval hamlet of Bagno Vignoni will be your pampering hosts. Guided walks on the romantic streets of Via dell'Amore (love), Via del Bacio (kiss) and the Via della Fortuna (luck) in the Renaissance town of Pienza, are followed by the ultimate wine tasting in the famous Cantine di Banfi in Montalcino, home to Brunello, Italy's most prized red wine. You have never experienced Italy like this before!
