METROPOLITAN AREA: Florence, Italy.

The town of Montepulciano with its picturesque lanes is a place which all those who want to get a good memory of the area won't miss. Tourism has grown over the last years and has brought with it the rediscovery of handicraft and the improvement of trade. Montepulciano has always been the land of very good craftsmen, especially carpenters and blacksmiths, who still work in little workshops along the roads of the town.

You shouldn't miss a visit to the hidden but equally fascinating cellars where the Nobile wine (of Montepulciano) is kept to age, the first Italian wine to get the DOCG identification mark. Another pleasant surprise at Montepulciano are the local thermal baths, "Terme di Montepulciano" at S.Albino (3 km). The hot springs swimming pools at the day spa that also offers many beauty and health treatments.

As for an option, we provide cooking lessons of the traditional Tuscan Cuisine. The lessons take place in the apartment where you'll be staying, so you have not to waste time in going where generally is the home of a school. The price for each lesson (two to three hours each one) comprehends all the purchases of all the ingredients. And after you have the pleasure to taste the excellence of what you have produced: "Buon appetito!"
