Over the course of your nine-day self-drive tour around Tuscany, you will not be rushing from landmark to landmark. Instead of counting the number of tourist attractions on a checklist, you will be settling into a flow within the region and enjoying its rich history, traditions, and people. Some days, your winding drive through the countryside will lead you to a vineyard for wine and lunch. Other days, you may attend a cooking class in a rural location or decide to go out for a sea ride…simply because the weather looks good for a boat ride.
Each accommodation that has been set aside for you during this tour is unique and a destination of its own. You might sleep in a villa tucked among olive trees, in centuries-old palaces, or in peaceful retreats where the Mediterranean Sea is your only neighbor.
Arrival
Your first few days are about getting comfortable with the pace of Florence. Take this time to settle in and get a feel for its multiple layers: art, architecture, quiet courtyards, and river views. Uncover the secrets of this fascinating city with a private guide and spend the evening on the Arno River, sipping on a fresh bottle of Prosecco. After getting your car delivered, take a daytrip to Pisa and Lucca for a change of scenery, and before venturing into the heart of Tuscany.
Tuscany
Your days in Tuscany have arrived. These days are about slowing down—tasting Brunello at the source, rolling fresh pasta by hand, and choosing from optional experiences like truffle hunting or a sunrise balloon flight over the Val d’Orcia. Evenings are quiet: pine trees swaying, birdsong at dusk, a glass of red in hand, and the smell of woodsmoke in the air.
Porto Ercole
Arrive on the Tuscan coast, where the pace shifts once more. In Porto Ercole, your days can be spent on the water with a private boat tour or exploring the countryside on horseback. Time here is flexible, allowing you to enjoy the sea, the scenery, and the slower rhythm of coastal life.
Departure
You will be whisked away by a private chauffeur to Rome Fiumicino Airport for your departure, bringing your Tuscan journey to a close.

FAQ
What is special about Tuscany?
Tuscany is defined by its balance between landscape and culture. Rolling hills, vineyards, and cypress-lined roads shape the countryside, while cities such as Florence and Siena reflect centuries of artistic and political influence. The region’s identity is closely linked to wine production, agricultural traditions, and a measured pace of life.
What is the best period to visit Tuscany?
May to June and September to October are generally the most comfortable months. The weather is warm without being extreme, and the countryside is active. July and August are popular but can be hot, particularly in inland areas.
What are the best cities in Tuscany?
Florence remains central for Renaissance art and architecture. Siena offers a well-preserved medieval centre and a strong local identity. The Chianti region connects the two through vineyard landscapes and small estates. Further south, Val d’Orcia stands out for its open scenery and villages such as Pienza and Montepulciano. Lucca provides a quieter atmosphere, with intact city walls and easy access to the Tuscan countryside.
What is the best way to tour Tuscany?
A car is the most practical way to explore the region. Many villages, wineries, and rural estates are not directly accessible by train. While Florence and Siena are well connected by rail, driving allows greater flexibility to experience the countryside and move at a more relaxed pace.
