A walking holiday from Florence to Siena, Italy

No matter how many times you travel to Italy, you will be moved by its rich cultural heritage and the sublime beauty of its landscape. Tuscany offers exceptional cuisine, and many of Italy’s greatest wines. Virtually every village possesses a noteworthy trattoria where you can enjoy food of refined simplicity. In June the countryside becomes a carpet of brilliant yellow. In September and October, the region displays a palette of ochre and gold. The weather remains fair until late October, and many of Tuscany’s greatest delicacies can then be enjoyed. To walk the clearly marked paths of the Chianti countryside is to enjoy the freedom of a non-guided (but well-organised) itinerary and to see a side of Italy that many only read about.

This walking itinerary starts and finishes in two of the most beautiful cities in Italy —Renaissance Florence and Medieval Siena. Each city is filled with glorious architecture, art and museums. Between the two, the walk takes you through tracts of rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, pine and oak forests, isolated farmhouses and medieval market towns.

In true Concierge Traveller style, your bags will be transported between your hand-picked hotels and your evening meals will be waiting for you at the end of the day. You will need some experience with orientation and there are several days where the walks and climbs are longer than 15 kilometres.

John Chekian recommends this stunning, epicurean walk as extraordinary value for money.
