Italian countryside

The gently rolling countryside transports you to a land of sun-drenched meadows, winding roads, sleepy towns tucked between hills, river valleys, cypress trees and sunflower fields.

Enticing you with the promise and aromas of authentic Italian cooking and the best wines of Italy, a visit to the countryside offers the perfect chance to unwind and revel in the rustic Italian lifestyle.

From Siena, in the heart of the Tuscany region, to the hill-top towns of Umbria, you’ll find plenty to do and see. You can experience life on a bustling local farm, or simply watch the day unfold on the piazza. Besides biking and horse riding, you can hire a car and explore ancient monasteries or discover Roman ruins and imposing medieval castles.

Making new friends and embracing the legendary Italian hospitality are part of the package, along with cultural tours, shopping, sightseeing and musical festivals.
