Things to do in Tuscany & Umbria
Orvieto
Explore the ancient medieval streets, get lost in alleyways that lead to charming piazzas and hidden treasures. Oh, and don’t worry if it is raining—just grab your umbrella and go. Orvieto feels even more special in the rain.
Discover the underground! Tunnels and underground pathways are a secret world beneath the streets!
Visit the artisans and small local shops for treasures.
Umbria
Stay in a medieval castle or monastery surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
Go truffle hunting in the woods around Norica and wine tasting in the many local vineyards. Although they might not be as well-known as Tuscan vineyards, they are just as fabulous.
Florence & Tuscany
Take a cooking class in one of the many markets and cooking schools in Florence. Or have your travel agent arrange a cooking class in a local home with a nonna.
Visit the lesser-known towns of Pitigliano, Sovana, and Sorano, which are known as the “tuff towns”. These villages are carved into volcanic rock. Walk their narrow streets and discover ancient Etruscan tunnels.
Rent a vintage convertible through the rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and vineyards, giving you the freedom to explore hidden gems at your own pace. Stop at small towns and vineyards along your route and have a long, leisurely lunch in a small village.
