Two full days at leisure to explore Florence and its rich legacy of Renaissance art and architecture, as well as its gourmet cuisine. Highlights include the Uffizi Gallery, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Ponte Vecchio bridge.
Morning drive to Montalcino via the medieval town of San Gimignano, encircled by 13 thcentury walls and famous for its 14 towers. Stay four nights at Castello Banfi – Il Borgo (or similar), a medieval fortress which has been converted into a sumptuous Renaissance villa.
Two further days at leisure to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The hilltop town of Siena is within easy reach.

Drive north to Pisa and stay at the Hotel Bonanno (or similar) for one night.
