We begin this leisurely tour in the northern Italian city of Milan, where we will see both the modern and historic sites.
From Milan we move to the Riviera di Levante, a rugged coastline with many small bays and inlets. This area is very picturesque, with hills sloping dramatically down to the sea. We will stay 4 nights in this region touring the major highlights. Our base for exploring this region will be Rapallo, a picturesque town with a medieval centre and natural harbour. Nearby are the Cinque Terre villages that date from the 12th century - each village is different and all have dramatic coastal scenery.
After touring in and around Rapallo we move on to Montecatini for a 9-night stay. This elegant and historic spa town is set amid green Tuscan hills and olive groves. It has many "Liberty" style buildings (an Italian equivalent to Art Deco), and many parks and gardens. Its 11 spas offer a range of treatments, or you can just drink the therapeutic mineral waters. The town also has many shops, a selection of restaurants and a weekly market. Local trains and buses operate a regular service to the surrounding towns and villages. Touring in this region will include Florence, the famous Tuscan hilltop towns, elegant villas, farms and medieval towns like Lucca. Our hotel in Montecatini offers lectures on local history, cooking lessons and entertainment on some evenings.
