Great holiday

As Gayle is now off for a short while to have her baby, I am going to be looking after our European trips. So what better way to start than to head off to Italy for a short trip to meet some of our local suppliers and partners, and sample the delights of a couple of our Walking Holidays in Italy! Here are some of my highlights and photos to wet your taste buds.

The Footpath of the Gods

The Amalfi Coast

  • The stunning Footpath of the Gods – hence my grinning face in the photo opposite! This walk is featured on both our standard Amalfi Coast and Amalfi in Style walking holidays and trust me, it is very aptly named!
  • The warm, friendly Italian welcome from our local partners and accommodations on the Amalfi Coast.
  • The mouthwatering Italian food and drink – pizza, pasta and seafood galore!
  • Exploring the picturesque gardens of Villa Cimbrone in the pretty hamlet of Ravello.
  • A stop at the rural village of Agerola to experience part of the Amalfi Coast which is a bit  off the beaten track.

 

Happy Laura walking in the Tuscan countryside

Walking in Tuscany

  • Arriving in Montepulciano and discovering the beautiful B&B L’Agnolo – this place makes you feel like you are staying in your very own palace with huge rooms and exquisitely adorned high ceilings! Princess for the night!
  • Trying out some of the local specialities of the area such as Pecorina Cheese and the delicious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano – this is one of the best red wines to be sampled in Tuscany.
  •  A wonderful day’s walking with Giuliana, one of our local partners from Montepulciano to Pienza – as we sat and enjoyed lunch in Montichiello looking over the rolling Tuscan countryside with all its beautiful golden and brown colours I couldn’t help but feel i’d been dropped off in heaven!
  • Walking around the beautiful medieval city of Siena with its Gothic Cathedral,  the bustling Piazza Il Campo and its many delightful gelateria.
  •  A stop in Florence before heading home – would recommend this to everyone visiting the area. Florence is a really beautiful city with so much to see and do and made the perfect end to my Walking Holiday in Italy!

Good walking guides and good maps. Friendly hosts and comfortable rooms. Fabulous views of Tuscany.
Track guide from Bagno Vignoni to San Antimo needs review but you can find your way easily anyway.
