Italy

Italy - The Belpaese (Beautiful Country) is one of the single greatest repositories of sensorial pleasures on earth. From art to food, from stunning and varied countryside to flamboyant fashion, Italy has it all. This is the country that brought us Slow Food, devoted to the promotion of fresh products and fine traditional, cooking. With 44 sites, Italy has more Unesco World Heritage sites than any other country on earth. Its great cities of art, like Rome, Venice and Florence, have been attracting visitors for centuries, and with good reason. Venice is possibly the city that has, in appearance, changed least down the decades but it has recently opened a sleek new bridge over the Grand Canal and a spectacular contemporary art space at the Punta della Dogana.

Alongside Italy’s art treasures, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy in the countryside. You can ski in the Alps, hike the Dolomites or dive off Sardinia’s golden coast. Adrenalin junkies can catch fireworks on Sicily’s volatile volcanoes. What better way to both explore and preserve the environment than to enjoy it from horseback in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Discover a landscape of gently undulating hills, lined with cypress trees and covered by a patchwork of fields, olive groves, and vineyards; a land filled with tiny rural villages. Tuscany is an area of great beauty, rich in wildlife, where time flows at it's own pace. There are opportunities to trot and canter, as well as time to quietly enjoy a slower pace to reflect, relax, drink in the scenery or just enjoy those free flowing conversations that seem to arise on horseback.
