Monday - Terre di Siena Breakfast and departure for Terre di Siena excursions. Scenic tour of the Crete Senesi: it is an area south-east of Siena of a very impressive visual impact. The extremely clayey land is devoid of vegetation; gullies and “biancane” alternate each other creating what seems to be a lunar landscape. Brief stop at San Giovanni d'Asso and on to Montalcino after that. Visit to the winery and tasting of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. Return to the Relais. Light dinner prepared by the chef, Andrea Magnani, at the internal restaurant. Free swimming.
Tuesday – Florence Breakfast and departure for Florence. Visit at the Villoresi showroom, master of the art of perfumery with an atelier in the family home in the heart of Florence. Using Tuscan raw materials of high intrinsic quality (Carrara marble, crystal, Volterra alabaster, Florentine olive wood and leather) and hints of the Orient (spices and essences) Villoresi creates tailor-made fragrances, perfumes as well as a series of defined and scented items for the home. The "customized” fragrances stem from a direct contact between the perfumer and person where the individual desires, words, memories and emotions are processed by the alchemist-psychologist and become a perfume. Brunch at the “Enoteca Intelligente”. Guided tour of Florence including the unforgettable Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and Piazzale Michelangelo. Return and dinner at the Castellare restaurant.
Wednesday – Siena Breakfast and departure to the Rocca di Staggia Senese. Guided tour of the Rocca di Staggia, a place of history and education, for young and elderly, which is located along the Via Francigena. Departure for the Cava de 'Noveschi Champagnerie in Siena: lunch prepared by the chef with dishes expressing all his Tuscan culinary art, eloquent, and tasty. Lunch may be accompanied by tastings of champagne. Guided tour of Siena, to live Piazza del Campo and the other historic assets of the city which is part of the UNESCO world heritage. Return to the Castle and free evening (it is possible to arrange a menu with the chef on request).
Thursday – Csatello di Gabbiano and Castellare Event Breakfast and departure for Castello di Gabbiano.
View the ancient wine cellars and taste the wine of Castello di Gabbiano. Opportunity to participate in the seminar "Wine & Cheese in harmony." Gabbiano is a historic home, a showpiece in the Chianti, very impressive from an emotional point of view. Return to the Castle and relax. Event at the Castle: "Chianina towards Maremmana Slow Food." This is a moment of gastronomic culture in which you eat and learn about two of the most important meats in Italy, the Chianina (from which the famous “Bistecca alla Fiorentina” comes from) and the Maremmana Slow Food Presidium. The dishes prepared by chef Andrea Magnani help to evaluate the organoleptic differences of the two races and their wine pairings.

Breakfast and departure for The Mall Outlet. Whole day at the Outlet, spending time for the best bargains from the top Italian brands (Fendi, Armani, Gucci, Pinco Pallino, ...). Return to the Relais.
