Livorno, localizada no centro da Toscana, é a porta de entrada para a glória do Renascimento em Florença e Pisa. Entre os séculos XIII e XVI, esta era de liberdade criativa incentivou os gênios de Dante, Donatello, Michelangelo, Giotto, Botticelli, da Vinci e Maquiavel a criar algumas das obras mais notáveis do mundo. A elegante Florença oferece a Galleria dell'Accademia, com sua obra-prima icônica, o David de Michelangelo. Uffizi abriga a galeria de arte mais renomada da Itália, com obras representativas dos titãs da arte renascentista. Junte-se a nós para uma excursão a Pisa e visite o belo e histórico Campo dei Miracoli da cidade. Siena, nas proximidades, captura o espírito da Itália medieval e Lucca oferece a oportunidade memorável de andar de bicicleta pela aromática paisagem toscana.
Savor the full “Tuscan experience” on this overnight program designed for a small group. Start with a wine tasting at a Castle in the countryside, spend an overnight in the heart of Florence including a visit to one of the most beautiful museums in the city, visit the charming medieval town of San Gimignano and round out your tour with a fun and interactive cooking class at typical homestead nestled within the rolling hills of Tuscany.
This program is limited to 10 guests. There is a good amount of walking over cobbled or uneven ground in both Florence and San Gimignano.
DIA 1
Set off from the pier in Livorno with your local escort and head towards the interior of Tuscany where you will visit the beautiful and historical estate, Castello di Verrazzano.
Located in the heart of the Chianti region and surrounded by its vineyards, the Castle has been producing wines since 1170. Here, you will have a guided tour of the gardens of the castle and the historical cellars, followed by a tasting of their most important wines paired with a traditional lunch.
After this surely enjoyable stop, you will meander your way through the countryside towards Florence, the “cradle of the Renaissance” as it’s commonly nicknamed.
Wherever you look around, you’ll find yourself surrounded by historical buildings which bear the mark of the history of Florence. After checking in at your hotel and dropping off your luggage, you will begin a walking tour of this fascinating city – its historic center inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Walking though the cobbled streets, you will see the most iconic sites like the magnificent Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, respectively the religious and political centers of the city, where art and architecture really played an important role.
Crossing the famous Ponte Vecchio, the most famous bridge of Florence, you will then reach Palazzo Pitti, where you’ll have the chance to visit the “Galleria Palatina”, which houses one of the most important collections in Italy with works from sixteenth and seventeenth centuries belonging to the Medici family. You’ll then have some free time to browse around the city at dusk, before returning back to the hotel for a delicious dinner.
DIA 2
After breakfast and check-out, you will meet your guide at the hotel, board your coach and again to head into the countryside. During your journey you will already see your next destination on the horizon as it has a very distinctive skyline. San Gimignano’s tall walls and narrow streets are typical of Tuscan hill towns, but it's the medieval "skyscrapers" that set the town apart from its neighbors. Today, fourteen of the original seventy-six towers have survived.
After a short introduction by your guide, you will have some free time to stroll at leisure in town, browsing through the many handicraft shops and admiring the medieval architecture which has landed the historic center on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
You will then meet your guide again and drive to “Fattoria Poggio Alloro”. This simple, family establishment welcomes guests for a visit of their cellar, shed, vineyards and olive groves. It is here that you will experience and soak in the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Italian farmhouse.
Poggio Alloro features all organic products such as wine, oil, and cereals. The farm also claims one of the most ancient Tuscan breeds of cattle, the selected Chianina breed. After a chance to browse, you will engage in a cooking class where you will learn how to prepare fresh handmade pasta, which you will then enjoy during your lunch while tasting their delicious wines.
Eventually it will be time to say goodbye to your hosts and you will return to the port of Livorno where you will reboard the ship.
