28 May – 3 June 2012 (Sun-Sun) Here is our ever popular Tuscany holiday, which we are running 4 times in 2012, with the first week as a Gentle grade holiday. The holiday takes place in the magnificent, wooded Garfagnana valley, set between the green, rolling Apennine mountains and the more rugged “marble mountains” of the Alpi Apuane. Our walks will be through woods to attractive hillside villages, and on rough mountain tracks where the ‘ups’ will be rewarded by extensive views as far as the Ligurian coast. We will also have a day off from walking to visit the beautiful walled city of Lucca with its marble clad churches and winding streets, or to take time out and relax by the pool back at Casine Di Bracciacorti if you prefer. The Casine is made up of several small chalets/villas converted from the original farm buildings plus a larger central villa where we will have our meals. The food will be traditional Tuscan fare prepared by our hosts – a real treat not to be missed! There are plenty ensuite or standard singles available (Single supplements a night: £15 Ensuite, £10 Standard). The grounds are extensive with space to wander, a large swimming pool, and even a 6-hole golf course!
Transport to the walks will be by private minibus. All meals are included except on the free day when there are plenty of cafes to choose from in Lucca and a trip to the local pizzeria in the evening is a must! (2 meals not included – from £10 approx). Guided by Clare.
Price £695, includes: 7 nights in ensuite twin room in chalet at Casine di Bracciacorti, full board except for 1 snack lunch and 1 evening meal (Single supplements per night: Standard single £10; Ensuite single £15); shared transfer from Pisa; all walks transport.
