This is where Giovanni Boccaccio was born and died - the father of Italian prose, whose Decameron gave the world 100 stories written in the shadow of the Black Death. Walk the cobblestone streets, visit his house and breathe in the atmosphere of a town that time forgot.

    San Gimignano

    The medieval Manhattan of Tuscany. Once a prosperous city on the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, San Gimignano's wealthy families competed for prestige by building towers - 72 at its peak, 14 still standing today. A UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary beauty, the town is also home to the celebrated Vernaccia di San Gimignano - Italy's first DOC white wine.

    Siena

    Before there was Florence, there was Siena. For centuries the greatest rival to Medici power, this perfectly preserved medieval city gave the world some of its most extraordinary art and architecture. At its heart lies the Piazza del Campo - a shell-shaped medieval square so flawless it takes your breath away. This is where the legendary Palio horse race has thundered twice a year since the 13th century. As the Tuscan light softens and the hills glow gold, we bring you back to Florence - the end of today's journey, but only the beginning of what Tuscany has to offer. We will be waiting to welcome you again and share even more of its wonders with you.
