SIENA
Lying across three hills and surrounded by olives groves and
vineyards of Chianti, Siena is both beautiful and alluring. Siena’s
medieval centre is filled with majestic buildings and its churches
and small museums hold a wealth of artwork. Spend your
days wandering the lanes and alleys of the city’s historic World
Heritage-listed centre, before arriving at the Piazza del Campo
home of the Palio, a thrilling race where horses thunder around
the city square. A true Renaissance town, Siena is an enchanting
holiday destination.

Central Italy
Stupendous art, stunning countryside,
wonderful wine and lip-smacking
cuisine is what Tuscany is all about.
