Best of Tuscany – hidden villages for an authentic experience –

Dear All, I must say that this itinerary, together with the e-bike experience, is the one I like the best. That’s why the title. In other words, it’s the plan I’d like to have, if being a tourist in my area.

You can drive your car, or we can find a private driver, in order to make our way to Monte Oliveto Maggiore, for a quick walk though the cypress tree forest, and a relaxing, meditating start of the day. The Benedictine monastery dates back to Middle Ages and has gorgeous frescos to discover. An authentic spot, where to learn about Italian Renaissance paintings. A short drive – 20 mins – will take us then to Montisi, a very much unknown dwelling, in Tuscany, that is still maintaining the charming feeling of a farmers’ village. Architecture is Medieval, but the Olive-mill is modern and makes one of the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) of the area. Ready for a taste, no bread? You’ll be sipping, the professional way, different kinds of EVOO, in order to detect between a high level one, an ordinary or a “rubbish” 🙂 one. Lunch can be arranged in a cozy local restaurant, while we can enjoy our afternoon in Pienza or visiting a 5 star winery producing the famous Brunello of Montalcino. I’m very flexible and we can arrange the tour the best, according to your interests and tastes.

Looking forward to make a customized plan for you! Give me a buzz and we will discuss about it!
