On foot in the forests of Casentino …

A tour in the uncontaminated world of the Casentino forests, which became a national park a few years ago. You hike through some of the most precious green forests in Tuscany, Italy. A land that has a strong history of monasteries that worked the land to make it fruitful in the name of the church while at the same time planting the seeds of that which we can still appreciate today. Visit the land that the Medici family used as their spiritual retreat, provided wood for Brunelleschi’s dome in Florence, wool and cheese for the Dukes of Tuscany and is still today a refreshing green heart in Tuscany.

Itinerary:

Pick up in Florence where we are transferred to the Calla Pass, where we will begin our trek into the secrect and hidden world of the National Park in Casentino skirting around ancient and revered sites all the while being sheltered by the impressive green environment.

We had a wonderful time meeting your friends, seeing the beautiful countryside, and enjoying the great wine. We look forward to telling our many friends about you and your great services, and hopefully we can work with you on a villa at some point in the future.

Darren and Anna wrote.... Our favorite moment by far Guido, and we're not kidding, the best experience of our lives to date was our day with you. We will remember this day forever, and we're telling people back home mostly of that day, so it really meant a lot to us you brought us there. Thank you so much!

Christina with her great experience and knowledge of the area put together an unforgettable experience which satisfied several of my interests including food, wine, art, culture, and walks through the countryside. Guido added even more to the experience with his local knowledge, contacts, positive energy, and his light hearted and friendly manner. The small group of women that Christina put together for this trip couldn't have been better. She is very sensitive to the needs of the group and obviously has the respect of her many terrific contacts in this region."
