Discover two of the most beautiful Tuscan villages: San Gimignano and Volterra.
The first has all the charm of a small medieval town with its 14 grey stone towers that rise above the town like ancient skyscrapers. The second is surrounded by Etruscan and medieval city walls, the ancient town of Volterra sits on a rocky spur in the heart of an unusual landscape of spectacular chaotic landslides known as Le Balze. This town famous for alabaster work retains many traces of this mysterious past. During the day you will taste local products and wines in a farm nestled in the Tuscan countryside. Dinner at leisure
