Itinerary

DAY 1: GREVE IN CHIANTI

  • Arrival at Pisa airport. After picking up the rental car, drive to Siena. There are no scheduled activities for this day, we suggest you visit Greve in Chianti.

    Suggested itinerary: Drive to Greve in Chianti, considered the gateway to the Chianti region due to its strategic location halfway between the center of Florence and the center of Siena. It is a small and picturesque town where you can breathe the countryside air. The square of Greve is still the focal point of the town. The weekly market still takes place on Saturdays in the square. Departure for Siena. Overnight stay.

DAY 2: MONTERIGGIONI/SAN GIMIGNANO

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you are free to relax and explore the city on your own. We suggest visiting Monteriggioni and San Gimignano.

    Suggested itinerary: Reach the medieval town of Monteriggioni, one of the best-preserved medieval centers in the country, founded in the 13th century. Situated on a small hill, the medieval town is enclosed by a wall almost 600 meters long. Here you easily get the feeling of being transported to another time, because small, charming houses and narrow streets characterize the town of Monteriggioni. Continue your day driving to the medieval town of San Gimignano, one of the most characteristic and charming medieval towns in Tuscany: a UNESCO site. San Gimignano has remained unchanged since the late 14th century to today, and it is one of the most visited places in Tuscany. Taste the world champion gelato in San Gimignano. Wine tasting of Vernaccia in a typical farm of San Gimignano. Overnight stay in Siena.

DAY 3: MONTALCINO/MONTEPULCIANO

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you are free to relax and explore the city on your own. We suggest visiting Montalcino and Montepulciano.

    Suggested itinerary: Go to Montalcino, famous worldwide for its excellent "Brunello" wine. The town has Etruscan origins and was long contested by Florence and Siena. Continue driving to Montepulciano, located on a tuff plateau, known for its "Vino Nobile di Montepulciano" wine. Wine tasting of Montepulciano wine in an ancient cellar of Montepulciano. Overnight stay in Siena.

DAY 4: SIENA

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you are free to relax and explore the city on your own. We suggest visiting Siena.

    Suggested itinerary: Enjoy Siena. The medieval city of Siena is a masterpiece of the Gothic period. With its winding historic center and the narrow, reddish-brown streets of tall brick buildings on the clay roads of Siena, it seems as if the clock of centuries has stopped. The historic center on its three hills grouped in the shape of three stars is famous for its Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia (88 meters high). From here you have a splendid view of the famous and beautiful Piazza del Campo. Taste traditional cantucci and ricciarelli in a typical bakery of Siena. Overnight stay in Siena.
