Tuscan Hilltop Countryside
Immerse yourself in the splendor of one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. The hilltop town of Siena, located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, provides a fascinating trip back in time to the Middle Ages, when it was one of the great city-states of the Tuscany area.
Set on three hills, the city is drawn together by winding alleyways and steep steps. While the Piazza del Campo stands at its heart, the Duomo and the St Maria della Scala also serve as prestigious cultural landmarks. In addition to the bustling daily life of the streets and squares of the city, Siena offers many cultural events, concerts, cinema, theatre and a wide range of sporting activities.
Luxuriate in your sumptuous accommodations in a palace that dates from the 1600s and offers privileged views of architectural wonders such as the Piazza dei Salembini, the Duomo of Siena, and the Monti dei Peschi, the oldest bank in the world. The palazzo houses up to 6 people, with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, antique furniture, and beautiful murals. For your comfort, the accommodation has AC, WIFI, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. In the winding medieval streets around the home, you will find high fashion shopping, lots of restaurants, wineries, bars, and supermarkets with typical Tuscan products.
Taste Tuscan wine and explore the charming streets of San Gimignano with your 5-hour tour from Siena. The first stop is historic San Gimignano, a UNESCO-recognized town where you will see landmarks such as the Collegiata and Piazza del Duomo. Afterward, venture into the hills of Tuscany for a behind-the-scenes winery tour that will take you to the bottling rooms and aging cellars of a Tuscan estate. You will taste Chianti blends and classic Tuscan snacks while learning about the winemaking process. The tour finishes with transportation back to Siena.
Your 2-hour sightseeing tour of Siena, led by an expert guide, gives you an insider's view of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed town.
