Driving times are Google Maps estimates for a weekday in normal traffic. Every day can be changed: the route below is a starting point.
Day by day
Day 1
Milan to Florence
Driving: about 3 h 30 min, 312 km
South on the A1 across the Apennines to Florence. Much of the historic centre is a limited traffic zone; we check in advance how close the car can get to your hotel.
Day 2
A day in Florence
The cathedral and its dome, the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio and the Oltrarno. Museums are best booked ahead. The car is available for a drive up to Fiesole or Piazzale Michelangelo at sunset.
Day 3
Florence to Siena through Chianti
Driving: about 1 h 10 min direct, 78 km
The direct road takes about an hour; most guests take the slower way through the Chianti villages and a winery visit, arriving in Siena in the afternoon. Siena's shell-shaped Piazza del Campo is one of the great squares of Italy.
Day 4
Siena to Montalcino
Driving: about 50 min, 41 km
South into the hills to Montalcino, home of Brunello. Tastings are by appointment, and with a driver everyone can take part.
Day 5
The Val d'Orcia
A day in the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO-listed landscape of cypress roads and hill towns: Pienza, Bagno Vignoni with its thermal pool in the main square, and the Romanesque abbey of Sant'Antimo.
Day 6
Montalcino to Rome
Driving: about 2 h 45 min, 207 km
South to Rome, with the drive ending at your hotel. Central Rome also has traffic restrictions, and we plan the drop-off with the hotel.
Day 7
Rome, and onward
Driving: about 40 min to Fiumicino airport
A last morning in Rome, then the transfer to Fiumicino for your flight, or the tour simply ends at your hotel.
