Tuscany is the very essence of Italy, with awe-inspiring landscapes, artistic heritage, culinary greatness, excellent wine, and all-around beauty. These elements combine, creating the perfect recipe for a fantastic road trip and all things Italian.
Tuscany is also one of the most incredible regions for its panoramic routes, with beautiful rolling hills lined with cypress trees, endless vineyards, fields of sunflowers, and orderly rows of fragrant olive trees. The roads look like soft snakes climbing the hills and then rewinding back down to the valley, with breathtaking views in all directions. Combine the beauty offered by Tuscany, with the energy and power of driving a Ferrari through the beautiful landscapes, to make this a trip of a lifetime and an unforgettable journey!
While here, you will stay in the quiet countryside near the medieval town of Cortona, known as the setting and inspiration for the book and movie Under the Tuscan Sun. Cortona is a charming hilltop town, founded in the Etruscan era, before the Romans, with evidence that the city existed as far back as seven centuries before Christ. Now Cortona is genuinely a Tuscan gem, with its medieval charm dominating the enchanting landscape of the valley below, framed on the horizon with soft hills and the vast expanse of Lake Trasimeno. The town is strategically positioned between Florence, Rome, Siena, Assisi, and the wine regions of Montepulciano, Montalcino, and Chianti, making it the perfect base for exploring Tuscany!
