Tuscany tour through the Chianti rolling hills

Tweet

A “must see” when organizing a travel to Italy is a long tour through the charming Tuscany. But what is surprising is that many foreigners, above famous places like Florence, Pisa and Siena, prefer to visit the area that is just in the middle of these three cities, known as Chianti. Maybe the most renowned countryside, dotted with many villages that still maintain the aspect of medieval boroughs, to enjoy on a car, or even better on a Vespa, to feel truly Italian. An experience that actually few Italians have done.

The next stop of our blog’s travel is there, on the Chianti hills, and the following is just a bit more southwards, in the beautiful village of Cortona, on the border between Tuscany and Umbria.
