Tuscany’s limestone gravel roads are deeply intertwined with Italy's heritage. This legendary countryside brims with the kind of pure delights that awaken your senses. Your eyes stare in disbelief at sun-drenched, rolling vistas speckled by cypress trees and endless vineyards. Everything comes alive with the fragrant smells of olives and those deep Chianti reds. Your taste buds will indulge in rich pastas, pizzas, and all the great wines of the region. This is everything you imagine from a Tuscan vacation, but so much more as we get off the grid and onto a gravel adventure fit for royalty. You'll ride on timeworn white gravel roads, known as the strade bianche, that set the stage for Italian pro races of today and eras past, into the Crete Senesi with its stunning other-worldly views, and over to the scenic Val d’Orcia. Discover the quintessential Tuscan villages of Gaiole, picturesque Montalcino, and the most regal of them all — Siena. This is the ultimate Tuscan unpaved adventure you won’t want to miss.

It is an incredible journey to discover the hidden corners of the Tuscan territory.

At the top of each new hill, I am rewarded with unique, postcard scenery. The atmosphere that you breathe is one of a kind, the people are cheerful and light-hearted and never refuse a good glass of Chianti or Brunello.

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Florence, Italy
Florence is the majestic heart of Renaissance art and intellect. Several days can be spent wandering the streets in the shadow of Brunelleschi’s Duomo and strolling beside the Arno. Along with the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi gallery, a pillar of the Renaissance and Medici eras, merits a visit. Michelangeo’s David in the Galleria dell’Arte is not to be missed. Keep in mind while exploring Florence that opening hours vary and are quite often inconsistent. Different museums are open on different days and lines can be very long. It’s worthwhile to pay a few extra euros and pre-book your tickets—this will enable you to bypass long lines of visitors at the entrances. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Eurostars Florence Boutique
This boutique hotel is a true masterpiece of hospitality, a historic palazzo restored and converted into a 4-star hotel, just 50 steps from the River Arno and a 10-minute walk into the heart of Florence.

Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco
This patrician home of the 16th century is close to the old market in the heart of downtown Florence, just a short walk to the Cathedral and principal museums. This 3-star hotel recently re-opened its doors to guests after having undergone a complete restoration. The Renaissance architecture and the refined furnishings reflect the Florentine character. www.ilguelfobianco.com
Hotel Montebello Splendid
The Hotel Montebello Splendid is an elegant 5-star, boutique hotel located just 10 minutes walk from all the main monuments and points of interest in Florence. Take advantage of their concierge services to plan your stay in Florence to the last detail. www.palazzomontebello.com
Rome, Italy
Rome is a powerhouse of stunning architecture and ancient history, beautifully told through its ruins and buildings. It seems that every street you walk down provides another unexpected glimpse of ancient times, yet modern bustle and energy abounds as well. The Coliseum, the Forum, Vatican City, and the Pantheon are some of the must-see attractions. Be sure to linger on the Spanish Steps one afternoon and take advantage of great shopping and fantastic cuisine. We recommend the following accommodations for your post-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Hotel Barocco
This 37-room hotel is tucked away in central Piazza Barberini. It boasts a refined, simple style with all of the comforts and amenities needed for a relaxing Roman getaway. www.hotelbarocco.com
Hotel Capo d’Africa
Located in the heart of Imperial Rome, between the Forum and the Domus Aurea, the Hotel Capo d’Africa boasts contemporary decor within a beautiful, early 19th-century building. www.hotelcapodafrica.com
