Tyrrhenian Sea with views of the Tuscan Maremma on your way to Pisa,
where you can admire the Square of Miracles with its Leaning Tower. Your
base in Tuscany is Montecatini, a famous spa town, where you spend 4
nights. Included excursions take you to the stunning and well-preserved
medieval jewels of Siena and San Gimignano, and renaissance Florence

Leonardo. (B,D)
