Overview

Set out on an exclusive private tour across the rolling Tuscan countryside, where golden fields, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads lead you to two of the region’s most enchanting medieval hill towns. In Cortona, a place of timeless charm and made famous by the film Under the Tuscan Sun, you’ll wander through narrow stone streets and soak in panoramic views that stretch endlessly across the valley. The journey continues to Montepulciano, majestically perched on a ridge, where every corner reveals stunning vistas over the Val d’Orcia and Val di Chiana — a perfect picture of Tuscany’s beauty and history combined.

Duomo di Cortona

Meet our English speaking driver at your hotel on a comfortable Mercedes-Benz for start the journey to the beautiful Cortona: enclosed by stone walls dating back to Etruscan and Roman times, sits on the top of a hill about 600 meters (about 1968 feet) above sea level. This dominant position over the valley offers a spectacular view from all over the town of the surrounding valley and even Lake Trasimeno. The town has become very popular in the past decade thanks to the book by Frances Mayes, Under the Tuscan Sun (and the movie with Diane Lane) which is set in Cortona; the protagonist immediately falls in love with the town, its people, and the villa Bramasole that she purchases and fixes up. Time for relax or explore the area, the driver will suggest best things to do.
