PORTOFINO

The wonderful bay of Portofino, surrounded by the greenery of the promontory, is a typical Ligurian fishing village. Now one of the most famous and exclusive resort of the world, this town is the favourite of international celebrities, yet still retains an atmosphere of bygone days, rich in traditions of the sea and local craftsmen.
A visit to Brown Castle and a walk up to St. George’s church and on to the lighthouse should not be missed and also a visit to San Fruttuoso abbey, built in the 11th century.
In 1901 Ruggero Valentini, the pioneer of tourism at Portofino, transformed this Villa into Grand Hotel Splendid and since its beginning the hotel has played host to the most famous and noble families in Europe and the most notorious people of the international jet-set.

CINQUE TERRE

The Cinque Terre, characterized by typical narrow lanes called “carrugi” and colourful houses lie on the Ligurian coast, where the foothills meet the sea. This tour is realized using a public boat starting from Lerici to Cinque Terre and you can stop and visit the one you prefer.
VERNAZZA: It is considered the pearl of the Cinque Terre.
MANAROLA: Its name comes from “ Manium Arula”, that means “dead souls temple”. Above its hills you can see vineyards of the famous dry white wine, Vermentino.
MONTEROSSO SUL MARE: The reddish colour of the hills at sunset or maybe the colour of the lord’s hair that inhabited the castle gave the name “Rubra” at this village.
CORNIGLIA: It stands high above the sea, on a large natural terrace.
RIOMAGGIORE: “Rivus Major” is the ancient name of the biggest river which crossed the village.
A walking trail, well known as Sentiero Azzurro (“Light Blue Trail”), connects the five villages. The trail from Riomaggiore to Manarola is called Via dell’Amore (“Love Walk”) and is wheelchair-friendly.

PISA

Who doesn’t know the leaning tower of Pisa? Most people come to Pisa to visit it as one of the seven wonders of the world. However, it’s not the only attraction that the city has to offer to the tourist.
Every historical period that Pisa had gone through has left precious proof: from the Etruscan to the contemporary, crossing the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Mannerism and Romanticism.
Pisa reached its apex between the 11th and the 13th century: architects, sculptors, painters came to create its cathedral, the baptistery, the leaning tower and the monumental cemetery.
Pisa is also a lively city thanks to its famous university founded in the 14th century; walking through alleys you arrive in Piazza dei Cavalieri where you can visit Palazzo dell’Orologio that recalls the legend of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca who, accused of treachery, was locked up with his sons and grandsons to starve to death. On the way back, we shall stop at S.Piero a Grado, in the west part of Pisa, where St.Peter is supposed to have set foot on Italian soil for the first time.

LUCCA

Still enclosed in its 16th and 17th century walls and bastions, Lucca reflects in a peaceful way the passing of times, epochs and art expressions. In fact, Lucca remained for almost 4 centuries the only independent Tuscan city until Napoleon whit the French army invaded it in 1799; an important detail is understanding the discretion, beauty and pride of Lucca citizens, also called “Lucchesi”. The city of hundred churches can be discovered walking or bicycling along narrow, winding streets leading to the Roman Amphitheatre, San Michele’s Church and the Cathedral, housing the “Volto Santo”, a special symbol for the city. Lucca remains fascinating as it offers the authenticity of a very old preserved city where real modern people still live with elegance and calm. Be our guest in this exploring trip: walk on the Walls and have a coffee in the heart of the city!

FIRENZE
