XSignature
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
Bistro
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.

REQUEST A QUOTEDay by Day
Set out with your local guide on a family scavenger hunt, which will introduce you to the Pantheon, the Trevi fountain and many other treasures only the Romans know about!
Spend the day discovering ancient Rome, with stops at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Then, visit a real-life gladiator school, where the kids will master their combat techniques. Tonight, you're in for a private lesson in gelato and pizza making!
Set off on a ride through the Val di Chiana toward Tre Rose Estate, producers of vino nobile, Chianti and Brunello (all of which we’ll taste). Tonight, enjoy a feast of delicacies prepared by Amorosa’s chef.
Pedal sunflower-lined country roads to a homemade lunch at the Lungarella family’s country house (save room for Mamma Sara's tiramisú!). Tonight, explore the boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants in the hilltop town of Cortona.
Visit the magnificent 13thC cathedral in Siena, as well as the Piazza del Campo (the location of the famed Palio horse race). This afternoon, either test your skills on the high-ropes course or embark on one of the most scenic bike routes in Tuscany.
Arrive in Montepulciano and sample its fine vino nobile. Your guide will introduce you to the local artisans and point you toward our favourite specialty food shops as you meander through town. Tonight, a troupe of medieval flag-throwers join us to demonstrate their ancient art form (and give the kids a hands-on lesson!).
After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll drive you to Florence train station or airport for your onward travels.

Hotels
Crossing Condotti, Rome
A unique hotelier just steps from Piazza di Spagna in the historic centre of Rome, this hideaway is an authentic “home away from home”. Housed in a former residence, the interior features original wooden ceilings, and beautiful prints and paintings; in fact, the antique furnishings are from the owner's private collection. View hotel website »
Locanda dell'Amorosa, Sinalunga
When Carlo Citterio set out to restore the property that has been in his family for centuries, his first step was to convert the stables into a superb restaurant. Soon other buildings were refurbished: your bedroom may well have been a clock tower or the hunting lodge. Literally translated as “lodging of romance,” the Locanda exudes just that, and has long been a favourite B&R retreat. View hotel website »
We never wanted to be the biggest travel company in the world, just the best.
— George Butterfield
Meals and tours of the vineyards were great. Loved the hotel selections. Dana did an amazing job - doubly difficult since she was guiding solo!
— Andrew Resnick
Enthusiast
Since most towns in Tuscany are perched on magnificent hilltops, most days include some challenging climbs. Total daily biking distances average 41 km (25 mi.) with shorter distances for family rides. We’ve also planned lots of fun alternatives for young travellers. The B&R van is always nearby for those looking to hitch a ride. The activities on this trip are geared for children 12 years old and up.
The Traveller
“I am an active person and don’t mind a little sweat. I like to walk or bike once a week at home.”
The Terrain
Rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
