Airport, station, cellars and cities: how you move decides how much you rest. Drivers who know the white roads and the ZTL, cars delivered to the villa, schedules with real margin.
Distances in Tuscany deceive: forty kilometres of gravel road and hairpins are an hour, not twenty minutes, and a GPS will happily lead a hire car into a restricted traffic zone in Florence or Siena, with the fine arriving at home months later. That is why we treat transfers as part of the stay, not as an extra. From Florence, Pisa or Rome airport a driver waits with your name on a card and already knows where the villa is, because he has been there. For days out, a chauffeured car lets a cellar lunch end with one more glass; for those who prefer to drive, we deliver the hire car to the villa and point out the right car parks outside the restricted zones. Schedules with margin, always: a missed train at Chiusi costs a whole day.
