PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Italy is a ravishing beauty, and the very mention of Florence & Venice (at random) conjures up the splendour of the country's glorious past. No need to be a connoisseur to marvel at Rome's antique architectural treasures or the sumptuous frescos in the Sistine Chapel. Sicily & Sardinia, the most well known islands of the peninsula, will tempt you through a whirl of images, colours and sounds.
Italy is a real feast for the senses through the warm welcome of its people inviting you to partake with specialities drenched in sunshine & olive oil and served with fine legendary wines.
Tall mountains, vast lakes, small wild creeks and green meadows make for a heaven answering every traveller's prayer. Whether your dream is to bathe in the shade of a flowering orange tree or ski down the snow covered slopes of Abruzze National Park : Italy is expecting you.
A word of advice from Lagrange : Don't miss the bargains in and around Vintimiglia's market (in the Gulf of Genoa).
Halfway between Milan and Rome, Tuscany is a slice of Italy to taste with your eyes. Its wonderful landscapes of low hills give way to infinite vistas: olive trees, vineyards and cyprus trees benefiting from a subtle golden sunlight mingle harmoniously with houses and palaces built by people for whom refinement is an innate quality. The beauty of its towns rich with History merge with the beauty of their surroundings: Pisa and its famous leaning tower is the gateway to Tuscany, Florence is the diamond-capital of the province with stunning Sienna as its rival...
The artistic wealth of Tuscany shouldn't make you forget about its coast lined with large sandy beaches sloping softly down into the sea. The summer season is particularly lively and cosmopolitan.
Make the most of your stay by tasting the region's culinary specialities : Cheeses, Chianti wine, charcuterie...
Tuscany is expecting you...
