Day 1 – Rome • Pitigliano • Castiglion del Bosco
The itinerary for this first full Ferrari driving day starts with the Roman countryside heading to Tuscany. The main stop will be in Pitigliano, an enchanting little town positioned on a tufa rock. This charming place is known for hosting the “Little Jerusalem” quarter and for the historical presence of a Jewish community who has always been well integrated into Pitigliano’s social context and who still has a Synagogue in the heart of the town. A guided tour will be followed by a typical Tuscan meal at Il Tufo Allegro restaurant.
The trip will continue in the beautiful and sparsely populated Maremma Area (part of Southwestern Tuscany) and will end at Castiglion del Bosco, a stunning luxury hotel in the Tuscan countryside surrounded by the distinctive region’s hills, sinuous white roads and vineyards. A wine tasting inside the estate will be followed by a delicious dinner at the refined restaurant Campo Del Drago.

The private tour will continue with a quick stop for a walk in Monteriggioni, one of the best preserved medieval walled towns in the world where time seems to have stopped centuries ago. The highlight of the day will be a lunch at Arnolfo, a 2-star Michelin restaurant. The journey will continue in San Gimignano, where a guided tour will let you discover this famous walled medieval hill town where ancient patrician families, who controlled the territory, built around 72 tower-houses (some as high as 50 meters) as a symbol of their wealth and power. Although only 14 towers have survived, San Gimignano has kept its feudal aspect and atmosphere. The arrival at the Four Seasons Florence will surprise all the guests: a beautiful and luxurious Hotel in a historical building located in a gorgeous private park with swimming pool. This hotel is in walking distance from the heart of Florence. The dinner is at the Enoteca Pinchiorri with its 3 Michelin stars.
