Simply the location! It was all that you imagine Tuscany to be - a converted farmhouse set in stunning countryside with a view of the surrounding Tuscan countryside that had to be seen to be believed and which afforded the sight of the most wonderful sunsets. That the accommodation was also superb and provided by the most dedicated and hard-working hosts ever made it the most complete location for a vacation in Tuscany. All the local food was pretty stunning too!

Despite having a mobility problem, I managed 3 out of 4 walks. They were amazing and Rudy was invaluable to give me the confidence to carry on even on some quite hard terrain. The hotel turned out to be experts in gluten free cooking and so the other perfect half was the ability to eat enough food to fuel the walking. Also the food was delicious. And the staff were lovely.

No one particular part because the whole vacation was a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

A relaxing and enjoyable break - sociable and laid back, and finally learned how to make pasta! Accommodation fine, and really enjoyed the pool as it was really hot. (more)Veronica Thompson

The Walk of the Gods and the people I met on this tour was amazing. This was a wonderful trip, the hotel was nice, larger than I thought and the quality of the rooms seemed to differ quite a bit. The food mostly was good but the owners are working to a budget so keep this in mind. (more)Leanne Denaro
It was fantastic, we learnt a lot, walked down a lot of steps and ate the most wonderful homemade food. (more)Deborah Flint

Memorable parts?
Wine tasting in Spello.
Tips?

Memorable parts?
Well, most memorable was possibly cycling up a zig zag mountain road in the teeming rain with a river coursing down the road!! That was freak weather
though. Most memorable in a good way was the wild flowers, which were everywhere and spectacular, and the food, which was the best I have ever eaten.
Tips?
Do some training riding up hills! On two of the days there are very long climbs (and very long descents afterwards). Bring clothes for a wide range of weathers

It was truly wonderful seeing the countryside of Puglia with a local guide. The town's and villages in between were delightful and so far relatively low on tourists. It was really fantastic. I think it's a wonderful way to discover Puglia. (more)Helen McNaught
