ITALY - TUSCANY
This gentle activity week is based in a converted Tuscan farmhouse just 700 metres from the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci. As well as the activities, we couldnt ignore Tuscanys fabulous cultural and gastronomic heritage and have incorporated as many of these elements as possible. So, from cycling along gently undulating tracks to creating and baking your own pizza, we think weve created a genuine taste of Tuscany. This family holiday combines great activities with plenty of time for relaxation at our stunning accommodation - perfect!
HOLIDAY CHOICES
Tuscany has so much to recommend it and this is the active introduction to some of its many treasures. Wonderful countryside, hilltop villages, Renaissance towns and cities, an unrivalled cultural heritage and simple, but absolutely mouthwatering, gastronomy. When you visit Tuscany, its going home that is the difficult part! FAMILY ACTIVITY WEEK 7 NIGHTS
ACCOMMODATION - OUR OPINION
Our base for this holiday is a converted 13th century farmhouse in the hills above the town of Vinci and just 700 metres from Leonardo da Vincis birthplace. The farmhouse has been lovingly transformed into apartments as part of an agriturismo project whilst still retaining a genuine Tuscan feel. Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with lounge/dining area, a shower and WC room and one or two bedrooms (some with additional sofa beds if required). Best of all perhaps is the area around the swimming pool which offers unforgettable views towards Pisa and the coast. In the evening you can prepare dinner on one of the barbeques. Surrounded by the thousands of olive and chestnut trees which line the hills, we think you will agree that this is a wonderful place for a holiday. Your host for the week, Simone is a true Tuscan and nothing is too much trouble for him or his team in ensuring that your stay is as memorable as possible. NB: The layout of each apartment is different and we will endeavour to accommodate your family in the most appropriate for your needs but places are limited and we recommend booking as early as possible. Our guide Simone was brilliant. He was great with everybody and very patient if someone found an activity a challenge. The children felt completely at ease with him and he really made the holiday go smoothly The Chappell Family - July 2007
