Has anyone ever walked from town to town in the hills of Tuscany without a guide or tour company? I'm trying to figure out how to get my luggage at my destination

Just my IMHO but if you're planning a point-to-point hiking trip, I wouldn't take more than a backpack that you'd carry yourself. Otherwise, you'd probably need to book a "walking holiday" package which provides baggage transfer like these:

I have not used these services nor am recommending them; just using them as an example. You might be able to pay a cab service to deliver your luggage as long as you know exactly where you'll be ending up.

I have not but while researching around Lake Maggiore I came across a Cicerone guidebook for walking between towns. I ordered it and it's quite interesting. I'm going to try 2 of their walk/hikes around lake towns this september. The company has a lot of other area's for walking. Here is their book for Tuscany. Being a UK company i'm not sure if you'll find it at your local library here in the states. Mine took about 10 days to arrive in the US when I ordered it online.
