Group Trip 8 Days
* Relax by the pool and enjoy stunning panoramic views * Gentle wildlife walk through the beautiful
Orecchiella National Park * 7 nights in a renovated Tuscan farmhouse
T
he countryside of Tuscany stretches from the crisp, clear air of the Apennines to one of the most beautiful coastlines of Italy. Its cities are among the greatest treasure houses of Europe but parts of Tuscany are still quite remote, such as the Garfagnana, a beautiful rural enclave flanked by the Apennines and Alpi Apuane (the Marble Mountains). The region is quite simply stunning, with deer and wild boar foraging in the beech and oak woods whilst seasonal flowers carpet the upland meadows. We base ourselves at La Pozza, a renovated farmhouse with sweeping views, a homely feel and, more importantly, a superb swimming pool.

TRIP TRIVIA
The rock formations inside the Grotta del Vento ('wind cave') are so fragile that one careless touch can destroy 200 million years of natural growth.
