Our Eastern Tuscany walking holiday is
based for seven nights at a hotel that was originally a 12th century
monastery near the ancient town of Cortona. Today it is a lovely
three star hotel still owned by the Vatican.
This region of Italy abounds with history. In 600 BC Etruscan
civilization flourished here and the countryside is dotted with
Etruscan tombs that have been unearthed. The town of Assisi is
also filled with history. In medieval times Saint Francis
of Assisi preached
his message of harmony with nature and today he is the patron
saint of the environmental movement.
The Renaissance brought a wealth of great artists and today, in
Arezzo, we find the fresco "Legend of the True Cross"
which is considered one of the highest achievements of Italian
art.
Highlights:
- Visiting Assisi - home of St
Francis
- Exploring Cortona and
learning about Etruscan civilisation at the amazing museum
- Walking in beautiful Tuscan
Val di Chiana
