About This Trip

Embark on an enticing journey that feels as though you have stepped inside a Renaissance painting. This unforgettable self-drive adventure begins in Florence, where terracotta rooftops, grand palazzi and masterpieces of Italian art set the scene for an extraordinary journey south. Collect your car and leave the city behind as you wind through the Chianti countryside, discover fortified medieval villages and arrive in the timeless landscapes surrounding Siena. From here, the road carries you deeper into Tuscany, through the dreamlike Val d’Orcia and onwards into Umbria, Italy’s famously green heart, before your final arrival in Rome.

 

You’ll discover a succession of places that seem almost impossibly beautiful. Sip Chianti Classico among vineyards and medieval stonework, stand in the magnificent Piazza del Campo in Siena, and wander the Renaissance streets of Pienza before tasting its celebrated Pecorino. In Montalcino, vineyards roll away towards the horizon as Brunello cellars tempt you inside, while the haunting sound of Gregorian chant fills the ancient Sant’Antimo Abbey. You’ll explore Montepulciano and the shores of Lake Trasimeno, lose yourself in the medieval streets of Perugia and Gubbio, and journey to Assisi and Spello, where centuries of art, faith and Italian village life unfold around you. Best of all, with the freedom of your own car, you can pause whenever a Tuscan cypress-lined road, hilltop panorama or tiny village café demands your attention.

 

And then there are the flavours. This is Italy experienced through its vineyards, olive groves, historic cellars, artisan food shops and welcoming cafés, with daily breakfasts and carefully selected local experiences adding delicious depth to the journey. Two experiences from the tour's selection can be chosen to personalise your adventure, while a special private olive oil tasting with local food in the Assisi area is already included. With your arrival transfer into Florence, a pre-tour night in the city, seven nights of accommodation across Tuscany and Umbria, your rental car and a final night in Rome, everything is designed to give you the freedom of a road trip without the usual logistical fuss. It is the Italy you dream about, lived one unforgettable road, meal and sunset at a time.

highlights

Tuscany is Italy at its most cinematic, a landscape of rolling golden hills, cypress-lined roads and vineyards stretching towards distant horizons. You’ll weave between hilltop villages and medieval towns, from the atmospheric streets of Siena and San Gimignano to the elegant Renaissance beauty of Pienza and Montepulciano, stopping along the way to discover the wines that have made this corner of Italy legendary. Sip Chianti Classico among the vines, taste the celebrated Brunello of Montalcino and wander ancient cellars carved into the hillsides, with every bend in the road revealing another picture-perfect scene.

 

Then there is Umbria, Tuscany’s quieter neighbour and one of Italy’s most rewarding secrets. Less visited yet overwhelmingly beautiful, its landscape unfolds in a softer, greener tapestry of forested hills, olive groves, tranquil lakes and ancient hilltop villages, where life still feels wonderfully unhurried. You’ll discover the medieval streets of Gubbio, the serene beauty of Lake Trasimeno and the spiritual heart of Assisi, while Spello and Bevagna offer intimate glimpses of authentic Italian village life. Here, the crowds thin, the countryside takes centre stage and every winding road seems to lead to somewhere you’ll wish you had discovered sooner.
