I am interested in feedback from those of you that have taken the 14 Day Best of Europe Tour. What were the village accommodations like outside of Florence? Were there any interesting sites to see within walking distance of the accommodation? What were the food options that were offered. If you know the name of the accommodation that you stayed at, I would be interested in looking it up,
On our 17 Day best of Italy tour, we stayed at the Alta Rocca Wine Resort near Orvieto. It was very nice.
We took this tour in 2019. Outside of Florence we stayed at an agritourismo. It was not within walking distance of anything. We were actually awakened in the morning by roosters. It was billed as a ‘vacation from your vacation’ and it was scenic and relaxing. We had some extra free time upon arrival and there was a pool. You could also take a walk around the farm and there was a cooking demonstration and Happy Hour. We were bussed to and from Florence the following day. Dinner both nights was provided on-site and it was delicious (Tuscan style, roasted meat, pesto, etc). But there really would have been no other options if the food wasn’t to your liking.
Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the place.
During my best of Europe in 21 days we stayed at a similar location outside of Florence with dining on location. The food was excellent. One evening the group meal included boar which was outstanding. The overall experience was quite relaxing. Transportation by bus was required for getting around. On my Best of Italy in 16 days we stayed in Florence in the midst of everything. It was quite enjoyable as well. I don’t remember the names of the locations.
