Trekking Tour day by day
What to expect:
At 9.00 we will leave Florence. As the minivan ventures into Tuscan countryside, we will see the landscape change drastically and will start fidgetting on the seat anticipating the trekking tour more and more.
Those curvy cypress alleys you normally see on the postcards and in films. And hooray, we will walk one of them!

Fantastic sunrise above thermal baths: bubbling water in pale ochre morning mist and burning scarlet sky

Tiring hiking up and down the Tuscan hills, for hours and hours – definitely the toughest day of the trekking tour
A picknick among the Tuscan hills with pictoresque farms scattered all around
Late evening bathing in the thermal pools of Bagno Filippi, the more pleasant the more you realise how many kilometers you’ve covered this day!

The coziest agriturismo with the friendliest owner I’ve ever met in Italy. There is no way you do not love it! And the home-made food is absolutely delicious! (Don’t torture te cook for the receipts, you should grow the ingredients first :))
Radicofani, a medieval borgo full of flowers and charm
An enigmatic pyramide in a private garden. What will you feel atop?
What to expect:
Struggling your way through the bushes feeling yourself a real explorer

New paths wit enigmatic signs and inscriptions on the tuff walls
Sovana and its churches
Typical local food, just to make sure you know what Tuscan cuisine is by the end of the trekking tour
What to expect:
St. Peter and Paul cathedral in Sovana and a mermaid with two tails
The most significant Etruscan tombs
Coming back in time and enjoying cipress alleys again
The lust lunch in the middle of the Tuscan hills
An evening swim in the pool where the famous Sturnia thermal spring comes from
The best hotel and spa resort of the region
Slow breakfast, and we are ready to leave.
Just don’t forget to take all your Tuscan joy and happiness with you!
You can choose either way depending on your return flight.
At the Orbetello train station the group usually divides: some go towards Rome, some go to Pisa.
There are almost no tourists at this hour and we can immerge ourselves not only in the hot water, but also into the fairylike atmosphere of the place.
Early in the morning we wake up to see the sunrise by the Saturnia thermal pools.
