Most beautiful cities of Tuscany
The "Cradle of the Renaissance" preserves a unique artistic heritage, thanks to the patronage of the Medici family. The small historical centre of Florence, enriched by an infinite number of churches, museums, monuments and Renaissance palaces, is a life experience that any art lover can miss.
At short distance you find the Uffizi Gallery, the art gallery that houses masterpieces by Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo. In Piazza della Signoria you will be fascinated by a true open-air museum, with Palazzo Vecchio, the impressive gothic fortress seat of Florence commune, as well as the copy of the Michelangelo’s David, the Fountain of Neptune and the 25 statues of Loggia dei Lanzi. Piazza del Duomo, the heart of Florence, hosts the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, a magnificent church embellished by the worldwide famous Brunelleschi’s dome, which makes unique the skyline of Florence. Here you can climb the stairs of Giotto’s bell tower and enjoy a breathtaking view of the historical centre of Florence.
Situated in the heart of Tuscany hills, Siena still preserves all the charm of a medieval village. Surrounded by the narrow streets and the noble palaces of the downtown you can reach wonderful squares, such as Piazza del Campo that every year hosts “Palio di Siena”, the mediaeval horse challenge among the old city’s quarters. San Gimignano - 22 km – about 30 min Born as Etruscan settlement, San Gimignano is another small medieval gem known for the 72 towers that defended the city and for the sweetness of its typical wine, “Vernaccia di San Gimignano”. We suggest visiting the Museum of Torture and Torre Grossa, the highest tower of the city, situated in Piazza del Duomo next to the civic museum.
In Pisa you will find one of Italy’s most beautiful squares, Piazza dei Miracoli, which houses the Cathedral, the Roman Baptistery and the marble leaning tower in constructed starting from the XII century. From 2001, the tower is open again to the public and you can reach the top to admire Piazza dei Miracoli, UNESCO World Heritage site, in all its beauty. Lucca - 98 km – about 1 hour. Important centre of the ancient Via Francigena, Lucca has been virtually the capital of Tuscany during the collapse of the Roman Empire. Its Renaissance walls are among the best preserved in Europe. We suggest visiting the Roman Amphitheatre dating back to the II century a.C. |

Tavarnelle – a long history of hospitalityThe first historical recall of Tavarnelle dates back to a document of 790 AD where is cited as “Tabernulae". In ancient Roman times, the "Tabernulae" were the stations where travellers stopped to refresh and change their horses before reaching the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route that from Canterbury in England led to Rome, the capital city of the Roman Empire.
