Ramblers Worldwide Holidays – the experts in guided walking adventures across the globe – is offering a one week Tastes and Trails of Tuscany holiday to Pescia which combines cookery lessons with walks amongst 'Le Dieci Castelli' – ten medieval hilltop villages. The holiday is based at the Hotel San Lorenzo, an old, tastefully converted paper mill retaining many original features. It is well-known for its food and wine and has an outdoor swimming pool.
Highlights include savouring traditional Tuscan life where ancient crafts and traditions survive, a day's sightseeing and walking within the walls of Lucca; a day walking the Via Della Fiaba (the fable trail) to visit the historic Villa Garzoni Gardens at Collodi, one of the most beautiful in Italy!
The hotel cookery lessons are based on local ingredients including the renowned 'Fagiolo di Sorana' or 'Sorano bean', named after one of the ten hilltop villages.
Price from £799 per person includes return flights, transfers, half board accommodation and cookery lessons on three afternoons plus the services of a dedicated tour leader.
