Summary

This guide divides Tuscany and Umbria into touring areas - one per chapter. Major cultural centres or cities form chapters in their own right. The best of Tuscany and Umbria is included, from the artistic heritage of Florence, Siena, Perugia and Assisi, to the hill-towns and landscapes of the Italian heartland and beaches and seaside resorts. Each chapter contains enough attractions to provide at least a day's worth of activities - often more - and has an introduction that sums up the main attractions and a ratings box. It is then divided into an alphabetical gazetteer and a suggested tour. In every chapter you will find lodging and eating recommendations for individual towns, or for the area as a whole. A locator map in the introduction to the book shows the position of the tours. Among the tours are: Florence, Chianti, Siena, the hillsides south of Siena known as the Crete, Pisa, Maremma, Assisi (the birthplace of St. Francis) and the Nera Valley. No touring holiday is complete without one of these essential guides. A great combination of guidebook and route map, they contain everything the self-drive traveller needs en route.

Excerpts

"Tuscany is paradise on earth in the minds of many northern Europeans: a region of hill-towns bristling with medieval towers, of lush vineyards and olive groves, rolling hills, Renaissance art and a Mediterranean coastline."
Excerpted from Drive Around Tuscany and Umbria: Your Guide to Great Drives. Top 25 Tours by Brent Gregston
