Why Tuscany
Tuscany - the name alone evokes images of art, cuisine, and that unmistakable Italian charm. Set among rolling hills, cypress trees, olive groves, and vineyards lies a region seemingly made for lovers of beauty, culture, and slow discovery. Whether it’s Florence with its world-famous cathedral dome, the medieval square of Siena, or the towers of San Gimignano - every corner of Tuscany feels like a painting come to life.
​
With short distances between highlights, exploring the region is as relaxing as it is rewarding. And it’s the mix that makes it special: a morning of culture, an afternoon stroll through vineyards, or an espresso in a sunlit piazza - Tuscany invites you to breathe deeply and leave the everyday behind.
​
As one of Europe’s most beloved travel destinations, Tuscany captivates with its unique blend of centuries-old history, stunning landscapes, and culinary delights that are second to none. Add to that the warm hospitality of the locals and the laid-back way of life - and you’ve got the recipe for a truly unforgettable trip.
​
Best time to visit:
Late September to early October is a wonderful time to experience Tuscany. The summer crowds have thinned, the temperatures are pleasantly mild, and the soft autumn light bathes the landscape in golden hues. It's harvest season - perfect for enjoying fresh regional specialties and local wines in a relaxed, authentic atmosphere.

your itinerary
Day 1
Next stop - Tuscany! Welcome to beautiful Montecatini! It’s the perfect place to start your unforgettable gay holiday. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the station, but you can take a taxi if you’d like (not included). Once you’ve settled in and explored the hotel grounds, you’ll get to meet your fellow travellers and your guide over a delicious welcome dinner at the hotel restaurant.
Day 2
The rolling hills of Chianti: Take a deep breath and switch to relaxation mode. Today, the coach takes you on a leisurely ride through the romantic landscapes of the Chianti region. Once you’ve reached your destination, it’s time to lace up your hiking boots and set off on foot (2.5 hours, easy to moderate) through picturesque vineyards and past viewpoints overlooking the vast realm of the black rooster - the emblem of the Chianti Classico wine region. At lunchtime, delicious Tuscan pasta awaits you at a traditional winery - including a Chianti wine tasting (of course!).
Day 3
Daydreaming in Florence: It’s a quick train ride to the heart of Florence where life is as vibrant today as it ever was! You’ll stroll through the bustling market hall where you’ll inhale the unmistakable aromas of Tuscany between stands selling fennel, salami, pecorino cheese, and herbs. Together with your guide, you’ll walk from Piazza della Signoria with its Palazzo Vecchio to Ponte Vecchio, where you’ll find traditional Florentine jewellery shops overlooking the idyllic Arno. Don’t forget to catch a glimpse of the iconic dome of the Florence Cathedral. With your reservation in hand, you’ll then go past the queue and straight into the Uffizi Gallery where Botticelli, Da Vinci, and others are waiting to inspire you. Later you’ll return to Montecatini for another savoury dinner at the hotel.
DAY 4
The walls of Lucca and gardens galore: By train, you’ll reach the medieval city of Lucca with its historic city walls that still surround most of the old town. Strolling through the Lucca Cathedral, San Michele, and the amphitheatre, you’ll find yourself immersed in a medieval world with a distinct modern flair. In the afternoon, you’ll meet Lucia who will take you on another invigorating hike (2 hours, moderate) from Montecatini through idyllic Tuscan gardens to the neighbouring village. After exploring the natural wonders of this magical place, a rustic dinner awaits you at the village trattoria among the locals.
DAY 5
Siena on the horizon: Siena - a place of beauty straight out of a film. Even James Bond couldn’t resist the magnificence of this once-of-kind place. You’ll admire the awe-inspiring black and white cathedral, the Campo - for many the most beautiful square in the world (!) - and still have time to wander through the romantic, twisting alleyways. Make sure to stop at Nannini’s and try their famous sweets. You’ll end the day back at the hotel where another delectable dinner awaits you. Have a glass or two of Chianti as you reflect on everything you’ve experienced so far on your gay adventure in Tuscany.
Day 6
Towers in the distance: Off to San Gimignano! There you’ll marvel at the town’s medieval skyline - towers and more towers as far as the eye can see. These impressive structures were built by noble and merchant families to display their wealth and power. At Piazza della Cisterna, you’re invited to enjoy Sergio’s award-winning gelato, while the Collegiate Church lures you in with its colourful frescoes. At lunchtime, you’ll enjoy an array of homemade Tuscan specialities. With your hunger stilled, you’ll go hiking (2 hours, moderate) through rolling hills to the best places to get views of San Gimignano.
Day 7
Pisa and Viareggio: Keep your camera handy and get ready to be blown away! Scattered across a lush green field, you’ll be mesmerised by the “white wonders” of Pisa: the towering Pisa Cathedral, the ornate Pisa Baptistery, the Campo Santo and, of course, the world-famous Leaning Tower (from the outside). Once you’ve had your fill of this unforgettably fantastic place, it’s off to the sea. Take a stroll, have a gelato or perhaps a refreshing Aperol Spritz. Later, you’ll take the cable car up to Montecatini Alto where you’ll enjoy one last dinner together with your travel mates overlooking a sea of endless lights - the perfect way to end an unforgettable gay holiday.
Day 8
Arrivederci! The time has come to say “goodbye”– but who are you kidding? You know you’ll be back sooner than later! Once you’ve visited Tuscany, you’re hooked for life.
