🇮🇹 La dolce vita is alive and well in Tuscany!
Our Two’s a Crowd travellers have been soaking up Tuscany for the past few days and, judging by the photos and reports coming back, life is pretty good right now!
The weather has been glorious, they’re loving their home for the week at the Grand Hotel Cavour, right in the historic heart of Florence, and there has been plenty of good food, w**e, laughter and, of course, gelato.
So far they’ve explored the beautiful Chianti countryside, enjoyed w**e tasting among the vineyards, discovered Florence on foot and visited the incredible Uffizi Gallery. Yesterday took them into medieval Tuscany, with Siena, San Gimignano and another little taste of Chianti along the way.
Then into the Tuscan hills for a hands-on cooking class in a 300-year-old country home, followed by lunch featuring their own creations.
And there’s still plenty to come!
🍷 Then it’s the spectacular Val d’Orcia, with Pienza, Pecorino cheese, Montalcino and Brunello w**e at a rather special vineyard where Mozart is played amongst the vines.
🏰 And before they say arrivederci to Tuscany, there’s the medieval walled village of Monteriggioni and a final night together over dinner in Florence.
Then comes the best bit...
This Tuscan adventure is actually just the beginning. On Friday they fly to Budapest to join our exclusive 5-star, Two’s a Crowd Danube River Cruise charter. While the cruise itinerary has been modified to adjust to current river levels, it still promises to be an awesome journey through Eastern Europe🚢🇭🇺
Tuscany first. The Danube next. What a way to spend September!
Keep the photos coming, everyone. We’re only slightly jealous back here in Australia. Salute!😄🇮🇹
