The province of Siena is famous for its great wines, such as Chianti and Brunello that yoy can taste also in the villages of Montepulciano and San Gimignano. San Gimignano,is perched high on a hill, with a forest of fantastic towers in the medieval streets. The greatest delight is just to wander through these medieval streets, in the shadow of the towers, admiring this " outdoor museum". Hotel accommodation in Siena surroundings.

6. Day:
After breakfast we suggest you a full day excursion to Elba island: the sea, the beaches, the green of the countryside, the small fortress towns, archaeological treasures, chestnut woods and more, continue to exist for what seems like an eternity. Elba gives the sensation of so much in so little as in the small spaces of the island we travel over tourist attractions and natural landscapes of such contrast; areas dried out by sun and wind, others green with life, sandy or pebble stone beaches, rocky coastlines and cliffs. Napoleone would have had to consider him fortunate to have been exiled in such an attractive place! Return in the hotel in Siena surrounding for the overnight.
