Mugello Circuit

Car racing venue
Sights & Landmarks
Mugello Circuit is a renowned racing circuit that features a parkland track spanning over 5000m, regularly hosting thrilling car and motorcycle races. Despite experiencing a rainy day, visitors were captivated by the impressive cars and even had the opportunity to take a van ride around the track. The infrastructure was lauded as top-notch, making it an ideal location for motorcycle racing.
Despite visiting many races across Europe, I had never visited Mugello. My son & I visited the famous Mugello for the full 3 days this year. We hired a motorbike in Florence & rode to the circuit (about 40mins). The roads to the circuit were great and clearly signposted. Amazingly, we found that we could park on the circuit roads or small car parks on the circuit for free. We found a great viewing only 4mins from our parking spot! From there, we could see >80% of the circuit & there was a large tv screen close by to watch the race, replays & positions. Facilities were superb & not too expensive compared to, say, Silverstone. The atmosphere, viewing, Facilities & entrance/exit using the motorbike were great even on the main race day (Sunday). Highly recommended & we will go again.

Great circuit, but is missing a museum and a caffè inside the circuit. With the story of this circuit is a must to have a museum.

5EUR to look at trackday event, walk around paddock, at any of the grand stands or the green areas... It was a fiver well spent. Moto trackday, but trucks were loaded with formula classics brought for a next event - some testing - got to see older Haas car too! haha

I spent the weekend at Mugello Circuit and had an amazing time. The track itself is legendary, fast, flowing, and absolutely thrilling to ride. Organization was top from start to finish, and the track marshals were outstanding: professional, alert, and always on point. Everything felt safe, well-coordinated, and smoothly managed. If you love motorsport, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be back.
Fabio T — Google review
Mugello is possibly the best track in the world! Excellent viewing, good sight lines, ease of access, friendly staff. General Admission is all around the track excluding stand areas - see the attached image. Hospitality in the Grandstand is first class - highly recommended. Spectator spectating is also available free of charge!!! Getting to and from the track during raceday is a frustration .... but 150,000 people keep doing it, so it can only be worthwhile!!
Phil G — Google review
Amazing race track at an incredible location in the Tuscan hills. Easily accessible by car or train, top notch facilities, great viewing angles from the grandstands. Love Mugello!!

Mentioned on

Market
Sights & Landmarks
Located in the San Lorenzo neighborhood, Il Mercato Centrale Firenze is a historic food market housed in a stunning iron-and-glass structure designed by architect Giuseppe Mengoni in 1874. The top floor features a gourmet food hall offering Italian and international cuisine as well as hosting various events. Meanwhile, the ground floor is home to independent vendors, including Baroni's cheese and a hidden gem of a fried fish stall.
This is a great market to visit. We purchased some items from a few of the stalls there and they were all very delicious. Upstairs there is an awesome food court where there are heaps of choices to eat. We also had a coffee and avocado toast here at one of the places and it was great. We also found the whole vibe and people watching fascinating!
Ruth R — Google review
A must-visit in Florence if you love food and local markets. San Lorenzo Market is packed with stalls selling fresh produce, cured meats, cheeses, spices, and plenty of Tuscan specialties. The indoor food hall upstairs offers great spots for casual bites — from handmade pasta to truffle dishes and classic Florentine steak. Prices vary by stall, but you can find both quick snacks and gourmet treats. Bustling and lively without feeling overwhelming, and perfect for picking up edible souvenirs or simply tasting your way through Florence
S R — Google review
Mercato Centrale is always a great experience! I’ve never been there when it isn’t bustling and busy, so my advice is to find a table for your party before grabbing food and drink. There are so many options for cuisines, and the drinks at the bar in the center are fantastic. Best Hugo Spritz in Florence! From the U.S.? Don’t skip the downstairs portion to buy all your friends and family seasonings, candy, and other food souvenirs. Note that the hours on the bottom floor are a bit shorter, so go earlier in the day!
Britt S — Google review
Best food market with a variety of foods! We went there multiple times and we love it. Best floor is the third floor open only for dinner! We try the pasta for lunch in the second/ first floor which was delicious, and the sandwiches . On the third floor for dinner we try a little bit of everything, the meat shop, pizza shop, gelato, the hot sandwiches shop, the pasta shop was good too but the pasta in second/ first floor was better! I love they have the drink menu in the tables and bring you the drinks which were great as well! Also the cookie sweet shop in the first/ second floor was very tasty!
Melissa M — Google review
There are a lot to see and do in Florence, visit to Il Mercato Céntrale is one worthy of it. Whether to try authentic Firenze cuisine or just curious about local markets, this one could save some money. Depending on what food you love or want to try, prices are a bit lower than near the touristy areas. You can find almost anything and everything here and definitely quite an experience, very different from outside or a few blocks from it.
Dan C — Google review
I had twice of fresh pasta dishes, One is Tagliatelle with beef Ragu, one another was Ravioli. They're so freshly prepared. The menu was displayed with numbers to follow. Gelato was good value, 3 flavours with plain waffle corn and wafer for €5.

So Happy our hotel was near the il Mercato Centrale Firenze (Central Market Florence). I enjoyed the morning sights, smells, and taste’s at the market and it provided something for everyone. Vendors were friendly and informative about their products and it made life simple when I just wanted a snack and a glass of wine.

Palazzo Comunale, Pinacoteca, Torre Grossa - San Gimignano Musei

Mentioned on

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Palazzo Comunale, Pinacoteca, and Torre Grossa are must-visit attractions in the city. The Palazzo del Popolo houses the Museo Civico, which features a remarkable collection of artworks dating from the 13th to 17th centuries, including medieval court frescos and masterpieces by renowned artists such as Lippo Memmi and Filippino Lippi.
Very interesting exhibition and the views from the tower are well-worth the climb. It is a bit of a challenge if you are scared of heights like me. The ticket is also valid for the Duomo right next door. Full recommendation.
Espial1348 — Google review
One of the "must try" when in Gimignano, climbing the Torre Grossa will offer the best views over this superb medieval city, but also over the Tuscan fields. It is indeed hard to climb the stairs, especially the few ones at the top, but it is worth it.
Ana-Maria A — Google review
Great place to visit when in San Gimignano. We went in when it opened at 10am so it wasn’t busy. They have redone the stairs so it’s quite an easy walk up - if you are tall you will need to duck your head at the end. The views are breathtaking! You then get to descend and walk into a great little museum. Would greatly recommend when visiting San Gimignano.
Ruth R — Google review
This city is like a hidden jam of Tuscany. We just looked at the map and randomly decided to come, and you become a cross this amazing museum and the city itself was very beautiful and old however, it wasn’t busy at all not very risky which is nice I would highly recommend to come and check it out if you haven’t.

Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, San Gimignano is a captivating medieval village that has earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This enchanting destination invites visitors to step back in time with its well-preserved historic buildings and stunning skyline, characterized by impressive towers that once symbolized the rivalry among towns to reach new heights. Among these architectural marvels, Torre Grossa stands tall at 54 meters, representing the town's historical wealth and power.
San Gimignano is like a more compact version of Sienna. It's a small medieval town that is just lovely to visit! Walking along the streets of this place is like taking me back centuries ago, traversing the same narrow and rolling alleys of this magnificent town. The towers were said to be a sign of wealth back then. Only a couple remain but one can only imagine the awe of people witnessing these colossal structures. Definitely a must visit place in Italy!
Billy A — Google review
We didn't really see much of the area. We stayed overnight at a hotel inside the walls and ate at Caffetteria Gelateria dell'Olmo. The restaurant was not good. Our hotel, Hotel Leon Bianco, was very nice and had a wonderful breakfast. We had a heck of a time navigating the streets.
Regina W — Google review
San Gimignano is the reason we came back to Tuscany after visiting it last yearfor a few hours, while driving through Tuscany. Beautiful walled medieval town, that was originally restored in 1800s, and probably the biggest attraction in Tuscany. The towers were a sign of wealth, and the taller the tower, the wealthier the family that owned them. They were originally built as protection against marauding neighboring townspeople, street scuffs, etc. these towers were connected to the residences of the owners. You can climb the tallest tower in town, for 7 Euros.
Angella R — Google review
San Gimignano is a true gem of Tuscany and a must-visit destination for every traveler. This picturesque town is famous for its well-preserved medieval towers that create an iconic skyline. Walking through its stone streets feels like stepping back in time. History comes alive at every corner, and the atmosphere is utterly enchanting. A highlight is the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, the town’s cathedral adorned with stunning frescoes by prominent artists – a true architectural treasure. San Gimignano is a place you’ll fall in love with at first sight

San Gimignano is a small medieval hills town in Tuscany, encircled by 13th-century walls and full of beauty and life. Medieval festivals are happening from time to time and, if you're lucky to be here during such an event, you'll feel the history and understand Italian culture and life better. Like a reduced-scale Sienna, San Gimignano is one of my favorites luttle old towns in Italy.

Piazza della Cisterna is a triangular plaza surrounded by medieval buildings and named after its 13th-century cistern. It is one of the principal squares in San Gimignano, along with Piazza del Duomo. The plaza offers access to several notable attractions, including the Palazzo Comunale and the Basilica Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, known for its Romanesque architecture and impressive fresco cycles by renowned artists.
A medieval open space at the heart of the uniquely beautiful city of San Gimignano. The piazza, like the rest of the place, feels like it's frozen in time. The atmosphere in the morning is peaceful although later on during the day, the place can become busy with visitors. There are several eateries and cafés around the piazza, some of them boasting to have the best gelato in the world.

We love the medieval "village" at the heart of the uniquely beautiful city of San Gimignano. The city is well preserved, and it feels like it's frozen in time. One can imagine how these folks with their horses going about their business during those days. The atmosphere in the morning is peaceful and if you enjoy your running, this city has many interesting elevation to add to your training. The cobblestone is another challenge that keeps you vigilant and to train your foot placement. Expect loads of visitors as the day approach to lunch and dinner. Food and drinks (wine & beer) are tops, as the Italians are proud of their traditional culinary and wine culture.
GEORGE L — Google review
The Piazza della Cisterna is one of the most beautiful and famous squares in San Gimignano, a medieval town .since the 1990s the square — and San Gimignano as a whole — has become quite touristy. During the main travel season, it can feel crowded, with many souvenir shops and large tour groups. Still, early mornings or late evenings often bring back the magic of its medieval charm.
Xenia ( — Google review
This was actually my favorite piazza in San Gimignano. It's the one with the old cistern, or well. There's always a bunch of people sitting on it as they do on the steps in other public squares. What's unusual is that this square is really in the shape of a triangle. You'll also see the Devil's Tower near the cistern. It has been said that the owner returned to find his tower taller than it was when he left it. Lol! That's kind of spooky. What I loved most about this medieval piazza is the famous gelato shop. It was a historical and tasty experience.

Historical & Beautiful square in the centre of San Gimignano I love medieval city and SG did not disappoint. In fact it is famous for the tower but some of the little square that are in the town are really amazing. Piazza della Cisterna is one of them, here we had a drink and were lucky to be here the day of the market, so bought a few things too. I highly recommend coming here, this city is great and perched so looks really great from the roads below.
Paul V — Google review
The most beautiful piazza in San Gimignano that gets very crowded during the day, but turns into a fairy tale after sunset (if you have accomodation inside the old city, you can enjoy such beauty). It is filled with history, dark stories, but is also nicely kept. And if you want to try "la dolce vita", just buy some Riserva wine in a restaurant nearby, sit and enjoy the view, the changing lights, the music (in summer, there are concerts nearby) and the wine.

Gucci - Leccio Outlet

Boutique
Shopping
Luxury brand known for modern, Italian-crafted leather goods, apparel & accessories for men & women.
A very large and extremely good Gucci outlet. There is a wide selection of clothes and especially shoes, with prices that are really good. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right sizes, but that’s normal for an outlet. You may also have to wait a bit to be served, since you can’t just pick the items yourself. Other than that, I think it’s the best shop inside the mall.
Temmuz A — Google review
We received amazing assistance on the sales floor from Luca, who was friendly, knowledgeable and patient through our multiple purchases. However when it came to checkout, the cashier staff was rude, especially after I pointed out that he had filled my tax refund form incorrectly. I guess once Gucci has taken your money they don’t feel obligated to treat you decently anymore. Left the store on a sour note.

Wonderful store! Large, a lot of products from purse, shoes, clothes. Sales associates nice and friendly. They had a fire alarm as I was buying a purse and had to leave the store for about 20 minutes. Thought about not buying the purse I wanted but glad I did. I feel like I got a good price for the product. No regrets. The whole mall area is nice.

Really great Gucci store to visit! Prices are good compared to other places, and there’s a huge variety of items to see. The store has three floors — the first and second are full of Gucci products like bags, clothes, shoes, and accessories, while the third floor is just for payments, which makes checkout quick and simple. The place is big, well organized, and very easy to shop in. Perfect spot for anyone traveling here and looking for a nice Gucci shopping experience. Highly recommended!

His passion for wine shines through as he shares heartfelt stories and engages with visitors from diverse backgrounds, creating an atmosphere filled with laughter and camaraderie.
Stefano’s wines are all from not-more-than 30km from his shop. We tasted 22 wines and the best thing is that he doesn’t even charge for this. Of course it’s a cool idea because we walked away with 12 bottles of wine and 4 bottles of chocolate truffle. Amazing and humble host and I wish him all the best in life!

Stefano was the best!! His stories made the experience unique, he’s hilarious, super generous with the number of tastings he offers, and is also a baby whisperer 😊 The town is very cute too, and the drive to and from the town are epic in terms of scenery. You can’t miss this place!

Stefano’s shop is full of fantastic wine from small, local producers in this particular part of Chianti, and he is an engaging host. We tried about 20 or so wines and all were excellent. So much so that we bought six bottles and had them shipped back to the UK. They arrived safe and secure only a week or so later. Looking forward to drinking them soon.

This was an absolute highlight of my Italy trip with friends. Stefano was an incredible host and made the vine tasting a great experience. We spent several hours there and heard lots of entertaining stories. Absolute recommendation that you visit the academy of good taste!

We had a great evening with Stefano, we were recommended him by our Hotel and were expecting a quiet evening drink but instead walked into an event of story telling, wine tasting and a lot of laughter. Stefano does an amazing job of interacting with all the guests and bringing everyone together despite all the different backgrounds. Highly recommend when in Chianti region. Set aside 2+ hours

Finding this place was a true highlight of our 2 weeks in Italy! Stefano took us through a journey of more than 20 wines, filled us with stories of love and life, as we smelled, tasted, smiled, and laughed for over 90 minutes. He spoke to people in our group from Denmark, Brazil, Germany, and Spain (how many languages does he speak and understand?) Above all, his love for people and wine rang through his many stories and interactions. We visited with him more than once and took our group of friends there after our first visit. Every one loved the experience, not to be forgotten soon. Don't miss if you are in or near Panzano!

SO FUN! This is a must do experience in Tuscany! Taste fab wines while Stefano entertains with hilarious antics. We met lovely people doing the wine tasting with us. Reasonable priced and really high quality wines too :) had a blast.

I have visited Stefano 3 times over the past 6 years. I‘ve taken family & friends to experience his beautiful web of wine, food & wonderful stories. There is no one like Stefano. My last trip was in July 2019 & I was so surprised he remembered me exactly - “My friend from Dallas”. I could fill this page with amazing stories from my “lessons” with him over the years - he is just as all the other reviews captured - magical. Sadly, I discovered in Feb 2020 that Stefano had suddenly passed away. If you know Stefano, he wasn’t much of a social media guy - much less a website - and I see this google listing still shows the Accademia as being open. But sadly, it has closed. Rest In Peace my dear friend. I do hope there is someone who will carry on his legacy.

Warehouse
Sights & Landmarks
Castello Monterinaldi - Magazzino is a captivating destination located in the picturesque Chianti Classico region, perched on a hill that resembles a turtle shell. This historic site has roots dating back to 1010 AD, attributed to Count Gottifredo of Lombard descent. Over the centuries, it has witnessed significant events, including medieval battles and World War II, which have shaped its structure and surroundings.
We did the wine, olive oil, and balsamic tasting. All exceeded expectations! Our host was wonderful and very knowledgeable! And the winery itself is beautiful. Highly recommend

Area Sosta Camper Idro Ecomuseum Delle Acque Ridracoli

RV park

Dams
Is a camping only for campers or minivans, campsite is very quiet in the middle of beautifull nature. All is very well maintained and clean. For breakfast, bread and diner there is closeby a very good hotel. Very friendly englisch speaking staff. Got some great advice for hikes.
Eelco S — Google review
(Translated by Google) We stayed in a tent for a day with friends. The campsite is quiet and isolated, equipped with all the necessary toilets. The staff is friendly and courteous. The only problem encountered is telephone coverage (wifi is only available near the main door of the museum, a few hundred meters away from the campsite). The campsite is about twenty minutes from the town of Santa Sofia and about three kilometers from the Ridracoli dam (access to which by car requires a fee and is free if reached on foot). (Original) Abbiamo soggiornato in tenda per un giorno tra di amici. Il campeggio è tranquillo e isolato, dotato di tutti i servizi igienici necessari. Il personale è gentile e cortese. L'unico problema riscontrato è la copertura telefonica (il wifi è disponibile solo vicino alla porta principale del museo, distante qualche centinaio di metri dal campeggio). Il campeggio dista una ventina di minuti dal paese di Santa Sofia e circa tre chilometri dalla diga di Ridracoli (il cui accesso in macchina è a pagamento mentre gratuito se si raggiunge a piedi).

We paid €25 per night for a camper and two people (including tourist tax). A beautiful base for many excursions. The staff are very friendly and available to offer advice on possible activities. (Original) Area sosta tranquilla, silenziosa, attrezzata con c/s, elettricità, bagni, docce con acqua calda, lavandini per stoviglie (acqua calda), zona barbecue e tavoli, cancello d' ingresso apribile con codice che viene fornito dalla reception del museo Idro (a due passi dall' area), abbiamo pagato per camper e due persone €25 a notte (compreso tassa di soggiorno). bellissima base di partenza per molte escursioni . personale gentilissimo e disponibile per consigli sulle possibili attività

(Translated by Google) The camper stop in Ridracoli was truly pleasant: surrounded by greenery, quiet, and in full contact with nature. A place where you wake up to the sound of birdsong and go to sleep in the silence of the forest. It's fenced, with an automatic gate and key access, so we felt safe even with the kids. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, and everything is very convenient for campers. A perfect base for exploring the area at a leisurely pace. (Original) La sosta camper a Ridracoli è stata davvero piacevole: immersa nel verde, silenziosa e in pieno contatto con la natura. Un luogo dove ci si sveglia con il canto degli uccelli e si va a dormire nel silenzio del bosco. È recintata, con cancello automatico e accesso tramite chiave, quindi ci siamo sentiti al sicuro anche con i bambini. I bagni sono puliti e curati, e tutto è molto comodo per chi viaggia in camper. Una base perfetta per esplorare la zona con calma.

Siena Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+110 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Siena Cathedral, also known as the Duomo, is a 13th-century marvel renowned for its striking facade with symbolic black and white marble stripes. It stands as the main place of worship in Siena and dominates the city's skyline alongside the Torre del Mangia. The cathedral has a rich history, originally built to replace a church dedicated to Mary on a site that was once a temple for the worship of Minerva.
A wonderful example of religious expression and indulgence. Stories on the walls floors and ceilings with records of cardinals pope's and others. Puts II and III lived in a prosperous time and rewarded each other with a designated library. Wonderful construction and artworks. The floor which is usually covered, was bare for all to see.
Jamie T — Google review
Siena Cathedral is one of the most breathtaking religious sites in Italy - a true gem of Gothic architecture and medieval artistry. From the moment you arrive, the striped marble façade and intricate sculptures command attention, blending elegance with grandeur. Inside, the cathedral is a treasure trove of art and history. You’ll find works by Michelangelo, Donatello, and the stunning pulpit by Nicola Pisano, each piece telling a story of devotion and craftsmanship. The Piccolomini Library, with its vibrant Renaissance frescoes, is a must-see highlight. If you're up for it, the Gate of Heaven tour lets you walk above the nave and enjoy panoramic views of the cathedral’s interior - an unforgettable experience. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, the Duomo was originally intended to be even larger, but plans were halted by the Black Death in 1348. What remains is a powerful symbol of Siena’s ambition and artistic legacy. Whether you're an art lover, history enthusiast, or simply a curious traveler, Siena Cathedral is a must-visit. Allow at least a couple of hours to take it all in - you won’t regret it.

A splendid cathedral, richly decorated inside. We hadn't bought tickets online, but lined up outside to buy tickets. The view of the cathedral from the square outside is fantastic. But what set it apart for us was the inside. The floors are covered in inlaid marble (I believe some of it is usually covered, but it wasn't when we were there), and there are many other fantastic pieces of art. Don't miss the small library to the side, also fantastic. Afterwards we spent some time in the gift shop - it is pretty good.
Henrik — Google review
A beautiful cathedral with beautiful artwork. It was reasonably old and had a bit of history to it as well. Tickets to see the cathedral was roughly 5 euros, but even the most expensive ticket to the museum, cathedral, and baptistry was the price of admission of a church in Florence, and was definitely reasonably priced. The biggest thing is that if you come from the town square, you will see the baptistry first, which is NOT where the ticket office or the cathedral is, and you need to climb either the stairs or get to the cathedral's square. Overall, was definitely worth seeing and was worth the day trip I took from Florence to see it.
Thomas S — Google review
A fabulous experience! Make sure though, that if you’re booking tickets in advance you are doing it for the one on SIENA, not FIRENZE. They look similar, but are in fact different. We got to go into the cathedral, museum (with the panoramic view), crypt, and baptistery. All very beautiful.

You look at this cathedral and the details of its construction and you wonder, how did they do this 800 years ago? (the cathedral was built in 1215). You definitely have to visit this cathedral. The entrance fee is €8 per person, but it's well worth it. The interior of this cathedral is something unimaginable.
Clovis C — Google review
Really just to say that I agree with the great majority of reviewers: Siena Cathedral is absolutely worth visiting. It looks great from the outside, perched on its hill, but the interior is even more impressive, with black and white stripes throughout. The ticket queue was quite long, so if you know ahead of time when you will be going it would make sense to book ahead.

Piazza del Campo, also known as 'Il Campo', is a medieval square in Siena that has been the city's social center since the 12th century. The paving of the square is divided into nine sectors representing the ruling Consiglio dei Nove. It is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors, with cafes around its perimeter offering great spots for coffee and aperitivi.
A truly beautiful place with an amazing atmosphere. Piazza del Campo is the heart of Siena – a unique medieval square that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Stunning architecture, plenty of cafés and restaurants where you can sit and soak it all in. The best time to visit is in the evening, when the square comes alive and is beautifully lit. Definitely one of the most charming squares in Europe.

Piazza del Campo is one of the most stunning and unique squares in all of Italy truly the heart and soul of Siena. The moment you step into the piazza, you’re surrounded by incredible medieval architecture, warm terracotta colors, and a sense of history that feels alive in every corner. The square’s distinctive shell shape makes it unlike any other in the world, and it’s beautifully designed to draw your eyes toward the majestic Palazzo Pubblico and its famous Torre del Mangia. It’s a wonderful place to sit, relax, and soak in the authentic Tuscan atmosphere. You can enjoy a coffee, gelato, or a glass of wine at one of the many cafés and restaurants that line the square, while watching people go by or admiring the view. During sunset, the light gives the buildings a golden glow that’s absolutely magical. Piazza del Campo is also famous for hosting the Palio di Siena, the traditional horse race that takes place twice a year an event full of excitement, tradition, and passion that truly represents the spirit of the city. Whether you visit for the history, the architecture, or simply to enjoy the atmosphere, Piazza del Campo is a place that leaves a lasting impression. It’s one of those rare spots where time seems to slow down, allowing you to experience the true beauty and charm of Siena.

Absolutely STUNNING PLACE whether you are believer or not. It is very suggestive place in the mountains in province of Arezzo (Tuscany). It consists of couple of buildings of sanctuary, church, chapels, place where Saint Francis received the stigmas, small museum, shop. You can feel strong spirituality and huge peace there. When i entered the church, one of Franciscan monk played the grand piano and I burst into tears without reason. We didn't planned this visit on our journey, we were with our dog, which was not a problem everywhere outside. Please pay attention, there is about 5-7 degrees colder in this valley, we suggest to take jumper or jacket with you. We ate local "piadinas" in small bar near the parking place. Surely WORTH OF NEXT VISIT AGAIN.

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, La Verna is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and spiritual significance. Its rugged cliffs and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop to the iconic La Verna Sanctuary, where St. Francis of Assisi once communed with nature and received the stigmata. A pilgrimage to this hallowed site promises a profound connection with both the divine and the wonders of the Italian landscape.

Guests can enjoy various pools, including a private one exclusively for hotel guests, as well as spa treatments such as massages. The on-site restaurant, cafe, and bistro provide delicious dining options.
Amazing experience! Place is huge , lots of extra stuff like water/ tea and fruit all throughout. Staff are amazingly accommodating and pleasant. Spa coordinator was going above and beyond to resolve our issue of double booking that booking.com can NOT,( have not confirmed the refund ) The view view the infinity pool specially during sunset was marvelous it adds to the fantastic scenery. My young adult kids loved their facials and the many options on where to soak. We as a family collectively wants to go back. Dinner was deliciously crafted my monk fish specially. We am more relaxed and rejuvenated leaving this place so that’s worth my expense.

Beautiful thermal baths with relaxing pools, perfect water temperature, and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. Staff are very friendly and everything is well organized. The only drawback was the showers — they switch off every 30 seconds and the cabins are a bit small. Still, a wonderful place to relax and I’d be happy to return! 🌿✨

Used the day spa services. I have been three times this year since we live fairly close. The spa offers different pools and lovely grounds with different types of chairs and umbrella options to relax. The half day pass is a bargain at 15 euros. Be sure to bring your own flip flops or water sandals and robe or towel. no street shoes allowed outside of locker rooms. Daily use includes free lockers showers blow dryers etc. I have booked various massages and massage staff are all very professional. Front desk staff helpful and some can speak English. Easy selection of fresh salads in casual lunch restaurant. Reasonably priced. Overall a good way to spend the day in Tuscany.

Pretty place, but honestly the worst massage I’ve ever had. I’m not even sure it was a real masseuse or just someone hired. I’ll be booking a proper deep tissue massage when I’m back home.

The water temperature varies from pool to pool so the warm and hot pools were the only ones in use. By mid afternoon the indoor pool (hottest) was crowded. Based on visits to thermal spas in Iceland, Budapest and Canada, the facilities are mid-range but the presence of significant silt on the bottom of the pools was disconcerting. At times it felt like walking through muck, and the water is very milky so you can't see your feet/the bottom of the pool. Also, we weren't informed at the check in desk that you get access to the saunas only with the VIP ticket as they are located on the hotel side. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for this spa.

Terme Antica Querciolaia

Mentioned on

Thermal baths
Spas & Wellness
Terme Antica Querciolaia is a vast wellness complex featuring both outdoor and indoor pools, as well as offering spa treatments and a restaurant. The Parco dell'Acqua of Rapolano, located nearby, showcases sculptures made of travertine by various Italian and international artists. Visitors can book tickets online to secure lounges in the shade, although plenty of spaces are usually available without prior booking.
We came on a Wednesday, Summer day and only went for the pools and sunbathing, not to stay at the hotel. We brought our own towels, shoes and change of clothes. It was perfect for our visit. Multiple pools offered a nice variety to choose from. We have two children, 8 & 10 years old boys and saw multiple other children, but saw plenty of single adults. Since the facility is so large with multiple pools, I felt there were several options for peace and tranquility, sunbathing or family fun. The water temperature was perfect and even offered a refreshing cool shower right outside of the pool. We ate at the cafe and left with iced coffee togo on our trip back to our Air BnB. Front desk was kind and facility was clean! Would recommend!

25 euros for a full day and 21 for half day (until 14). This is the basic thermal pools, nothing fancy - but we super enjoyed ourselves. Cafeteria prices weren’t too high, but it’s better to prepare food/snacks in advance. Really recommend!

Terme Antica Querciolaia has a whopping eight pools! Six of them are outdoor thermal pools, and the other two are indoor pools. These pools are all part of the spa’s lovely park, and they’re filled with natural thermal waters packed with minerals. An absolute treat for your skin, airways and brain. The indoor restaurant offers excellent meals and great Italian coffees.

We visited the hot springs for the day with family and two kids, age 3&5. All of us had a great time, mainly in the outdoor pools. Sun beds are free and lockers are 2 euro deposit. The place was beautiful, and very clean. Had lunch at the cafe, which was great, taste and price wise.

Its huge area includes many differently sized open pools, filled with constantly pouring in hot minerals-rich water. If you’re next to a pipe you get kind of stream massage. While I was wandering in the pools, my wife took a therapeutic mud treatment and later joined me in the pool. The atmosphere is naturally very relaxing. And it is just 40 min drive from Siena.

Arezzo Cathedral

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Arezzo Cathedral, also known as Cattedrale di Arezzo, is a hilltop medieval cathedral dedicated to Saint Donatus. It features a stunning Piero della Francesca fresco and notable stained-glass windows by Frenchman Guillaume de Marcillat. The Gothic cathedral's unfinished facade was completed in the 20th century.
I cant remember buying tickets here...maybe because there was a funeral right before we entered. The frescoes on the ceiling are breathtaking. The interior is a little darker than other churches/cathedrals so far. You wanna sit here and just enjoy the details.
Rok S — Google review
This fantastic Cathedral rises atop a hill in the upper part of the city, on the foundations of an ancient early Christian church where a Roman acropolis likely once stood. Begun in the Gothic style during the 13th century, the construction of the dome, dedicated to Saints Peter and Donatus, was not completed until three centuries later, in 1511, after numerous cycles of alteration. Its bell tower with tall, twin windows, designed by Luigi Mercanti, was built between 1857 and 1859. The last reconstruction of the façade was carried out between 1901 and 1914, based on a design by Viviani intended to replace the unfinished one dating back to the 15th century. Dominating the city, this imposing three-nave building, without a transept, boasts seven beautiful stained-glass windows created by the monk and master glassmaker Guillaume de Marcillat from Berry. The French artist worked between Arezzo and Cortona from 1516. This masterpiece of glass art was created in two phases, between 1516 and 1517, and then between 1522 and 1524. These illustrious biblical tales can be admired in the vaults of the first three bays of the main nave and the first bay of the left aisle. Also inside are the small but famous 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca, glazed terracotta sculptures by Andrea della Robbia, and the tombs of the 14th-century Bishop Guido Tarlati and Pope Gregory X, who died in Arezzo in 1276.

This is a very impressive cathedral high up on the hill in Arezzo. Inside it is both dark, cavernous and cool which adds to the sense of majesty. A funeral was taking place while we visited which was quite moving and showed how this is a working church for the city. Unfortunately this means that it doesn't seem to have much in the way of signs for tourist visitors.

Basilica di San Francesco

Mentioned on 
51 lists 
Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Basilica di San Francesco is a 13th-century Roman Catholic church known for housing the famous Legends of the True Cross frescoes. The cycle of frescoes, inspired by the Legenda Aurea, depicts the story of the piece of wood used to build Jesus's cross. The basilica itself is a small brick and stone structure located in a square of the same name. Although incomplete in its covering and ornamentation, it remains popular among visitors.
Because of frescoes which are the main attraction in this cathedral, are most important ones around main altar presenting The History of the True Cross from 1400s. In those times most people were illiterate and for them to understand Bible is to make it like a comic books today.....pictures that follow and tell a story. There is another story on the wall, fresco, that was amazing to me. Of archangel Gabriel.
Rok S — Google review
For most people the attraction of the Basilica di San Francesco boils down to one things: the fresco by Piero della Francesca. And to be fair it is an astonishing piece of work even if it does give you neck ache. His rendering of the History of the True Cross is vivid and alive in a remarkable way. Still the church does offer a few more attractions with other frescoes and creations scattered about. There's plenty of space and quite a lot to enjoy if you like Renaissance religious buildings. I can imagine that it gets busy in the holidays but out of season it was a delight.
Damian C — Google review
Large and interesting basilica. Most visitors immediately head for the frescos behind the large hanging cross at the pulpit. Be sure to look to the left just as you pass the ticket booth. There is a beautiful chapel serving as a war memorial to Italian casualties.

A must for Piero della Francesca fans, people who don’t care much should leave space for those, who can appreciate. This is one of the most otherworldly early Renaissance art experiences and the 30 minute slot allotted to visitors will surely stay in their memories forever! Otherwise it’s a nice experience too. Friendly staff, good explanation aids provided. Well worth the effort!
Marcel V — Google review
Time to visit Piero della Francesca frescos formally limited to 30 mins, but, at least out of season, nobody checks if you leave on time. The rest of the church worth attention as well. You have to pay for ticket reservation no matter if you buy online or onsite. In October it was no problem to have a ticket for same day, only couple of time slots were fully sold out. A backpacks have to be left in a locker at the entrance. There is a toilet inside.

Impressive historical church in the middle of the city center of Arezzo. You definitely will walk along this nice place and building when you pay a visit to Arezzo. We were here in September 2021, while it was not too crowded. We didn’t pay a visit to the inside because you can see the inside through a “door window”… .

Superb visit where I could admire frescoes in this Gothic Basilica with painting from the 14th century, houses one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance, the “Legend of the True Cross” by Piero della Francesca, the extraordinary cycle painted by the artist between 1452 and 1455 approximately in the Bacci Chapel.

Lovely quiet area and nice olive trees but the whole visit was a disappointment because of the lady in the shop. She was very unpolite and as soon as I stepped inside the small shop she told me the shop will close in 2 minutes. It was 17.54. 🙄 I thought the whole place was open until 18.30. The abbey had a mass so we didn’t enter into it. The smell that came from that small shop was so good so it was a pity that I couldn’t buy anything.

Definitely the most beautiful abbey in Italy! We've come here for at least 20 years. In the beginning there were almost no tourists.

The Abbey, a jewel of medieval mysticism. It is one of the most beautiful monuments in an ancient Roman style, which also has elements of the French and Lombardy styles. Legend has it that the abbey was founded by Charles the Great in 781. The king and his army stopped here on the way back from Rome as the soldiers were afflicted by an unknown pestilence. An angel appeared to Charlemagne, telling him to make his men drink an infusion with a local herb. The cure worked and the army was saved so the king decided to build the church in gratitude.

Sights & Landmarks

The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio is a 16th-century domed church located in Montepulciano, Italy. The church overlooks the picturesque countryside and is surrounded by cypress-lined roads. Visitors can take a leisurely walk through Montepulciano, admiring historical palaces, churches, and Renaissance artwork along the main street.
In the heart of Tuscany, nestled among the rolling hills and vineyards, lies the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio. This ancient church is perched atop a hill, overlooking the quaint town of Montepulciano, and has been a place of pilgrimage and worship for centuries. Legend has it that the sanctuary was built in the early 16th century after a shepherd boy had a vision of the Virgin Mary on this very spot. The boy claimed that she appeared to him in a bright light and spoke to him, telling him to build a church in her honor. The shepherd boy, along with the help of the townspeople, constructed the sanctuary, and it has been a sacred place ever since. As you approach the sanctuary, the first thing you notice is the grand staircase leading up to the entrance. The steps are made of marble and adorned with intricate carvings of angels and saints. At the top of the staircase, two massive wooden doors stand tall, welcoming all who come to visit. Once inside, the beauty of the sanctuary takes your breath away. The walls are painted in soft pastel colors, and the ceiling is adorned with elaborate frescoes depicting scenes from the Bible. The altar is the centerpiece of the church, with a statue of the Madonna di San Biagio standing proudly in the center. The statue is said to have miraculous healing powers, and many come to pray for loved ones who are sick or in need of help. The sanctuary is also home to a small chapel, where visitors can light candles and offer prayers. The walls of the chapel are lined with small plaques, each one a testament to a prayer answered. The atmosphere is one of peace and tranquility, and it is easy to see why people come from all over the world to seek solace in this sacred place. As you wander around the sanctuary, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. The intricate details of the architecture, the beautiful artwork, and the peaceful atmosphere all come together to create a truly special place. It is no wonder that the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio has become a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims alike. As the sun sets over the Tuscan countryside, the sanctuary takes on a whole new level of beauty. The warm glow of the setting sun illuminates the church, making it look as if it is glowing from within. It is a sight that will stay with you forever. The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio is not just a church; it is a sacred place that holds a special meaning for all who visit. It is a place of peace, hope, and faith, and it will continue to be a beacon of light for generations to come.

Magnificent sanctuary of Renaissance art built between 1518 and 1545, made of blond stone and with harmonious lines, is attributed to Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, one of the finest architects of the period. The Temple of San Bagio was built away from the city, in a verdant valley, on the site of an ancient early Christian church dedicated to Mary. This location, in the heart of a superb landscape, underscores its grandeur. The origins of this church are linked to a miraculous event that occurred on April 23, 1518, when two servants, Antilia and Camilla, and a peasant named Toto, passing by a fresco depicting the Virgin and Child and Saint Francis, saw the Virgin open and close her eyes, as if she were alive. The central Greek cross plan of the Temple is crowned by a dome on a drum. The architecture of the bell tower plays on alternating forms : decreasing heights, straight lines and curves ; it is topped by an eight-sided pyramid. The solemn interior houses, near the high altar, a lectern made by Giannozzo and Lisandro di Pietro Albertini in 1584, as well as, in the niches, statues of saints sculpted by Ottaviano Lazzarini in 1617. Pope Leo X himself came to inaugurate this monumental church, conceived as an ancient temple, and considered one of the most accomplished achievements of Christian architecture of the Tuscan Renaissance. The presbytery in front of the church was also designed by Sangallo and built around 1550 and is characterized by a double loggia. The well in front of the building was erected between 1550 and 1551 and originally had two columns with a travertine architrave. In short, a 16th-century Tuscan masterpiece not to be missed during a visit to Montepulciano.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio (Tempio di San Biagio) is a truly charming and peaceful place. We didn’t go inside as there was a €5 entrance fee, but even from the entrance area, the beauty of the structure and its surroundings was clear. The view over the Tuscan hills is absolutely stunning and adds to the special atmosphere of the site. Parking was simple and accessible, making the visit smooth and pleasant. A lovely and worthwhile stop, even for a short visit.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio is absolutely stunning and a must-visit when in Montepulciano! This Renaissance masterpiece is over 500 years old, and standing before it, you can truly feel the weight of that incredible history. The church’s architecture is breathtaking – from its elegant travertine facade to its perfectly proportioned design, it’s a testament to the artistry and devotion of another era. The setting is equally magnificent, sitting gracefully just outside the town with beautiful views of the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply seeking a moment of peace and reflection, this sanctuary delivers on every level. Don’t miss this gem – it’s one of those places that reminds you why Tuscany is so special. An unforgettable experience!

Montepulciano is a medieval hilltop town in Tuscany, Italy. Surrounded by vineyards, it’s known for its vino nobile red wine. The Torre di Pulcinella is a clock tower topped by a figure of the Pulcinella, a commedia dell’arte character.

Montepulciano’s Piazza Grande is a solid mix of history, Renaissance architecture, and tourists trying to find the perfect selfie angle. The main attraction? Aside from the impressive Palazzo Comunale and the cathedral, it’s the town’s famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano - a red wine 🍷so well regarded that even popes were fans. It was also the filmed location for the Vampire series - Twilight. 🧛 Climb the town hall tower for a great view (if you don’t mind the steps), or just grab a glass of Vino Nobile and enjoy the square from ground level. Either way, it’s worth the visit, just be ready for some uphill walking.

(Translated by Google) It is certainly dusty, but it allows you to get close to the structure. Due to its elongated and narrow shape it is only comfortable if not complete, otherwise you will have to take into account difficulties in maneuvering to reverse gear. Shadow? only at certain times of the day. The toilets are less than 50 meters away, positioned outside the convent walls, slightly higher than the street level. (Original) Polveroso lo è di sicuro, però consente di poter arrivare a ridosso della struttura. Per la sua conformazione allungata e stretta è comodo solo se non completo, in caso contrario si dovranno mettere in conto delle difficoltà nelle manovre per invertire la marcia. Ombra? solo in qualche momento della giornata. I servizi igienici sono a meno di 50 metri, posizionati all'esterno delle mura di cinta del convento, leggermente più in alto rispetto al piano stradale.

The highlight of the visit is the Rocca di Radicofani, an old fortress turned into a well-known museum situated on a basalt rock offering stunning panoramic views of Val d'Orcia.
This is way off the beaten path, but the views from atop the tower, which sits on top of the mountain, are amazing.... It's 5 euros per person. The outside looks unkept, but the stairs in the tower are modern and solid.

One of our favorite castles to visit, with stunning views of Tuscany. The restaurant serves amazing dishes! We came back twice just for lunch and the views!

Fortezza di Radicofani rises like a dream carved out of stone and wind. Standing on its walls, you don’t just see Tuscany — you feel it breathing below you, endless and alive. This isn’t a fortress. It’s a memory of courage, solitude, and sky — where history and silence meet on equal terms. Come at sunset, when the light turns gold and the hills melt into shadow. You’ll understand why some places don’t need words.

Very worth the time. The views are so good you can transport back 800 years and imagine what the protectors of this fortress saw when the enemy was on the march

Stopped off here on a road trip around Tuscany. What a beautiful place! Great views. Stopped off just on time for lunch - lunch was absolutely gorgeous, really nice wine, very hospitable. Carmen gave us great knowledge of the site and Paul and Giovanni looked after us well in the restaurant. Absolutely recommend!

Lago Trasimeno

Lake

Bodies of Water
Lago Trasimeno is a charming and picturesque lake in Italy, featuring three islands and surrounded by medieval towns, olive groves, and cypress trees. The area includes Citta della Pieve, which offers stunning panoramic views of Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno from its hilltop location.
Tranquil little village by the lake. One can have a stroll around the lake, grab some food from one of the restaurants in the area, or simply sit down on one of the benches and admire nature and quiet. There are also souvenir shops and cafeterias.

Lake is pretty but too dirty to swim in, and no beaches are worth mentioning. Many better places to stay in Umbria and Tuscany
Tony A — Google review
It’s a nice lake to look at, but not to swim in. Fist of all, it’s a challenge to find a nice place to enter the water without walking through a swamp. Secondly, the water is murky, smelly and shallow. I’m a huge fan of natural lakes but when here, I (unfortunately) preferred the touristic swimming pools.

A magnific place where to pass your Italian holidays! Many restaurants, cafè lake view and boats to go to Islands! Cool for nature lovers and family with kids! 😉😊

Lake Trasimeno, Italy's fourth-largest lake, is a stream-fed body of water surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and old castles. It offers freshwater fish and fishing, as well as all the water sports one can handle. With swimming-safe waters, a 50-kilometer bike path around the lake promoting exploration, and a natural park that encompasses the entire lake, this is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. If you want a very relaxing and laid back holiday in Italy then consider this area. Out of the madding crowd but close enough to roam Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio for those more adventurous types. Highly recommended.

Cattedrale di San Pietro

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled at the end of Via di Mezzo, which begins from Piazza del Pretorio, the Cattedrale di San Pietro stands as a remarkable testament to history and architecture. Dating back to the 8th century, this Gothic Romanesque church is one of Tuscany's most significant religious structures. Its ancient walls exude a mystic atmosphere that enchants visitors upon entry.
This is a beautiful cathedral with an interesting history.
Julie H — Google review
Many of the complaints below are valid, but we still very much enjoyed the Cathedral. Very atmospheric. Interesting art remnants from the time. There is surprisingly little to see in town ( despite the hype on the web) and this structure is probably one of the best things in town, along with the church on the piazza. Sovana itself has one street of minimal interest compared to Piti or even Sorana. Admission E2.50 seems minimal given the costs of upkeep.
Kent H — Google review
Better from outside if ones know how to look than inside where there's nothing to see and you'll have to pay €2.50 to enter. The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is located in the area where the Etruscan Acropolis probably stood, the foundation of the current building took place between the 8th and the 9th century. It is one of the most important Gothic Romanesque buildings in all of Tuscany. The main entrance of the Cathedral is currently on the left side since on the main facade, in the fourteenth century, the episcopal building was leaning. The portal has a rich and elegant sculptural decoration, a reinforced knight, a bicudate siren, peacocks, the tree of life, roses, leonine protomes and spiral figures are recognized.

Nice cathedral, at the end of town. Has a few displays in several languages describing some history. Admission was 4 euros each. Be sure to go downstairs, just to the right if the altar, into the crypt. It has a pretty altar, and some bones from a saint. Worth a quick peek.

Very nice Cathedral but the place has been turned into a tourist trap. Despite being a functional church the locals have barred all the normal entrances and oblige tourists to enter from a backdoor where they have placed a ticket counter and a terrible and tasteless souvenir shop very ugly and not in architectural harmony with the building. It is very strange that there is no dedicated entrance for believers who want to pray in the church without paying the entrance fee (that generally is the norm for Italian churches ). I don't know if this could be accepted by our pope Francis. Honestly said, this church has turned into a business by the local priest and inhabitants. Very sad as this should be a place of prayer and not a tourist business.
Dennis C — Google review
It's interesting within its context but definitely nothing to see inside, not worth the entrance fee. Maybe if it included as guided tour with some explanation. Also guy at the ticket office seemed lethargic

Extraordinary romanic church. It's worth the two euro entrance fee.

Wineries & Vineyards
Vineria Del Carmine is a charming winery located in Umbria, Italy, offering an exquisite experience of wine tasting and delicious food. Visitors can enjoy homemade grissini dipped in pea, mint, and basil sauce along with a variety of white, rose, and red wines that are described as sensational. The truffle pasta topped with delicate shavings of truffle and truffle foam is particularly memorable. Guests praise the impeccable service and 5-star quality of the food.
We had a fantastic lunch at the winery. The tasting menu had a nice variety of choices with paired wines for each course. The food was sensational, and the staff were very attentive. The winery is set in a beautiful valley which adds to the ambience. Highly recommend a visit.
Kaye I — Google review
One of our most memorable experiences from touring the whole of Italy. Best wine we had the entire trip and probably the best pairing experience we've had ever, absolutely mind blowing and well priced. We visited in summer 2024, the perfect day driving down the valley to this unexpected hidden gem of a farm, enjoying the beautiful wine and food overlooking the vineyards. Needless to say we took a lot of wine with us back to SA which we are still savouring. The people also were so friendly and accommodating. A must visit, we will be back.

This winery was amazing! We got a private tour for our whole group and served three course meal with wine tastings! The history of the property was so interesting. Our guests absolutely loved this wine tour and tasting and have been talking about it for months now! Would recommend this winery to anyone in the Perugia vicinity!

Welcoming. Wonderful setting, Wonderful lunch experience, Food and of course the wines excellent. Faultless. We went in harvest time - really impressive and all new sparkly kit in operation.

We stayed at Casa San Gabriel late September. The opportunity arose to have lunch at the winery and taste their wines, we did not hesitate to book. The food was exceptional, innovative and honoured the local produce. A truly enjoyable experience, one not to be missed. Service was also exceptional, professional yet not intrusive. The wines are also quite something, bold yet elegant. Some of the best wine we have tasted on our journey through Italy. Fascinating how good they are. So underrated. The location of the winery is set in a beautiful valley with rolling hills and gorgeous scenery. A place and experience not to be missed. This part of Umbria is the place to visit.

We were recommended this place by our hotel, and what a fortunate discovery it turned out to be. This isn't your typical technical winery tour, it's an intimate discovery of a journey rooted in passion, serendipity and sheer dedication that results in outstanding wines and cuisine that could easily win awards. David, a former teacher turned estate manager, shares the story of the estate with such warmth and enthusiasm that it feels like you're part of the journey. Mattia, a world-class yet wonderfully approachable sommelier, has the ability to read your palate and understand your preferences. Food is exceptional. It was a truly memorable experience. We’ll absolutely be returning.

We hosted our pre-wedding wine tasting at Vineria del Carmine, and it was simply magical. David, Roberto, and the entire team were warm, attentive, and incredibly professional, making us and our guests feel so special throughout the evening. The setting is breathtaking, with gorgeous views over the vineyards and a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance. The food and wine were fantastic, every detail thoughtfully curated, and the flow of the event was seamless. Our guests loved every moment, and we’re so grateful to the Vineria team for helping us create an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Vineria del Carmine for any special occasion!

I had the most wonderful lunch and wine tasting here! The staff was very personable, and gave a great explanation of the wines and locally sourced dishes they were serving. Everything was impeccable. The food was to die for. The setting on the terrace, overlooking the vines is very picturesque. I will be coming back here every holiday if I can!!
