Ferrari tour in the landscapes of Tuscany

Valdarno and Val di Chiana Tour - Discovering Cortona and Montepulciano - about 150 km, full day  

Morning departure from San Giustino Valdarno (or from your hotel in Valdarno). After a briefing on the day's itinerary, we get behind the wheel of our cars and head south through the Val di Chiana, the largest of the Apennine valleys. A land of ancient civilizations, it was considered the granary of Etruria and still retains its agricultural vocation, with extensive grain cultivation and the production of fine olive oil. It is also famous for the breeding of a highly prized breed of cattle, the Chianina, once used mainly for farm work, but now the gastronomic myth of the Florentine steak. 

After a 45-minute drive, we arrive in Castiglion Fiorentino, one of the most beautiful towns in the Val di Chiana, where we stop for coffee and a quick tour of the historic center. Don't miss the medieval fortress of the Cassero, which dominates the entire Valdichiana, and the splendid Loggiato del Vasari, whose porticoes frame the harmonious panorama of the surrounding valley. Back in the driver's seat, in about 20 minutes we arrive in Cortona, an ancient town nestled among rolling hills, an impeccably preserved medieval paradise that attracts residents from all over the world and where you can still see Etruscan and Roman features.

Stop for lunch at a local restaurant and free time to explore the town (optional). We pick up our cars and drive to Montepulciano, a medieval town of rare beauty, famous for its historic wineries, elegant Renaissance palaces and splendid piazzas that often open onto breathtaking views. It was here that the American TV series "Medici - Masters of Florence" and "New Moon" from the Twilight saga were filmed. At the end of the free tour, we will resume our route to return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
