Italian Vineyards & Romantic Coast
La natura può più dell'arte: Nature is beyond all teaching—or so the Italian proverb goes. Here, in Tuscany's Maremma, nature abounds. Countryside, vineyards and farms. The clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The untouched Orbetello Lagoon. Like fine wine, Tuscany can be described in great detail. But to be learned, it must be experienced.
Highlights
- Journey on this bike tour from the verdant hills of the storied Tuscan countryside to the crystalline waters of the Silver Coast
- Bask under il sole at two unique and beautiful hotels, including a Medici Villa and an elegant coastal retreat
- Admire stunning views of the sea and a blue-green lagoon from the spectacular promontory of Monte Argentario
- Celebrate with Super Tuscan wines and a private cellar tour at a state-of-the-art winery in Castiglione della Pescaia
