Guided Tours

Tour guides and transportation are made available to guests in order to give them the opportunity to visit nearby cities and places of special interest, such as Cortona with its museums, ancient streets and Etruscan tombs, or Montepulciano, Castiglione del Lago, Siena, Montalcino and Pienza, all with their own monuments, historical squares and enchanting views.

Our goal is to make our guests stay as pleasurable as possible, thus we also suggest specific itineraries in Tuscany and Umbria that can also be organized through the Relais with an expert guide who collaborates with us. These are daily excursions for either singles or couples, and for small or large groups. Usually our tourist guide, who specializes in the wine region, gets into the car or bus with the clients, and while driving gives detailed information while answering any question or request.

Excursions

• CHIANTI WINE TOUR:
A whole day in the wine region between Siena and Florence, visiting castles, villages, and farms that produce in their cellars the famous red wine “Chianti Classico”, the dessert wine “vinsanto”, and balsamic vinegar that has been aged for twenty years, and also visiting a grappa distillery where they describe the methods of production, the cellars used for aging, and the museum.

• MONTEPULCIANO AND MONTALCINO WINE TOUR:
A daily excursion in the southern area of Siena, visiting old wine cellars and tasting two famous red wines, “Nobile” di Montepulciano and “Brunello” di Montalcino, having a taste of the “Pecorino”cheese in Pienza, living the spiritual atmosphere of S. Antimo Abbey, listening to the Gregorian chants and enjoying the hot water baths of Bagno Vignoni. .

• SIENA AND SAN GIMIGNANO:
Two of the best art cities in Italy and known as the “Towers” cities: two wonderful places not to be missed during your Tuscan holiday with the chance to taste the famous white wine “Vernaccia” of S. Gimignano.
Assisi,Torgiano and Deruta: Religion and art in the city of S. Francis, wine and olive oil museums in Torgiano with the tasting of “Rubesco” red wine, and Deruta, the most famous “pottery city” in Italy: an unforgettable daily tour in Umbria.

• ORVIETO AND CIVITA DI BAGNO REGIO:
Far from our relais but easily reached in just one hour by the A1 highway, Orvieto is one of the most preferred destinations of international tourism: the marvellous Gothic Cathedral, the Town Hall, the Palace of the Captain of the People and S. Patrick’s Well, without forgetting to taste the very famous local white wine. A final visit to Civita di Bagno Regio, a medieval “borgo” on the top of a hill, only accessible by a high and narrow bridge, will complete the tour.

• SPELLO, NORCIA AND MONTEFALCO:
Art in Spello, with the splendid frescoes by Pinturicchio and Perugino, traditional food in Norcia, the “Black Truffle”city and Montefalco, famous for the “Sagrantino”, an excellent red wine, all contribute to an unforgettable day, with locations not found in most tourist itineraries.

Your Wedding

A fairy tale wedding, just like you always dreamed, in an ancient hamlet knowingly rennovated, among beds of roses and century-old olive trees...
Among perfect country scenes or more refined atmospheres...
By candlelight, by day or by sunset, in the splendid garden, beside the pool or in the Orangerie... and for the bride the most beautiful suite, for the honeymoon a place to make a night that lasts forever...
