In Lajatico is the famous Teatro di Silenzio, a natural open air theater where Andrea Boccelli and some famous musicians from all the world names come for a special performance each year. Volterra is famous for alabaster, Lucca for the quiet and peaceful elegance of this walled medieval town and San Gimignano, the hilltop village, is famous for its cobbled lanes and tall stone towers which dominate the surrounding countryside. Pisa with the Piazza dei Miracoli with the Cathedral, a classic example of Romanesque architecture, the Leaning Tower and Baptistery is well worth a visit, as is a stroll along the slow Arno river to admire the classic bridges. Don’t miss out on a visit to one of the many wine producers in the area and we can recommend Cantine Antinori (Bolgheri) for an outstanding experience. Tuscany conjures up thoughts of the wonderful food of the area – the many country restaurants with dishes of warming vegetable soups, game and fresh garden salads offer excellent seasonal produce. There are many festivals over the summer months including a mini palio at Casole d'Elsa with ceremonies and horse race. Other themed festivals include archery, theatre and food and wine festivals. Just getting lost in the country lanes of central Tuscany is beauty in itself, each hilltop has another stunning view and around every corner another picturesque village.
