- self-guided hotel-to-hotel walking, luggage transported
- discover Tuscany’s rich culture and timeless countryside
- the famous wines and beauty of the Chianti hills
- stay in atmospheric San Gimignano
Nestling between the great art cities of Florence, Siena and Pisa, the Chianti hills are as famed for their beauty as for their dark red wines. Hill-top villages crown the rolling landscapes, and idyllic churches are dotted along the quiet paths. An extraordinary sense of history pervades the region, from Siena’s wide Campo to the Etruscan town of Volterra.
We emerged into open country, with fresh, luminous greens and yellows, geometric vines, silvery olives and Tuscany's quintessential punctuation marks - the cypress trees.

This walk takes you from Volterra through the Chianti vineyards and San Gimignano to the Sienese hills and magnificent Siena itself. The joy of the holiday is to feel the timelessness of the Tuscan countryside, and to discover the landscapes immortalised in the works of some of the world’s greatest artists.
