The places from this trip
- Cattedrale di Santa Maria del FioreEverything in Florence is concentrated around the Duomo and Giotto's Campanile — stay at least 2–3 days in the city.
- Siena historic centrePark at Parcheggio Il Duomo outside the ZTL and walk 10 min into the restaurant street; comfy shoes — lots of steep climbs. Eat before 14:00, siesta closes everything.
- Asciano agriturismoSmall estate on a Tuscan farm near Asciano — remote and quiet, with hill views toward Siena and Italian breakfast outdoors.
- Caffè G.MEverything is roasted on site — stop for a morning espresso and buy beans, teas and local Tuscan wine.
- Tenimenti AndreucciThere's a winery every 100 m in Tuscany but she recommends this one — taste the Chianti reds Costavecchia, Regale, Giobatta, Donna Alma.
- Antiche Tenute Squarcialupi - La CastellinaThe area's biggest wine shop — La Castellina Chianti Classico is the famous local bottle and they ship worldwide; Riserva around €18.
