The best of Via Lauretana Toscana in six days

package
Holiday packages

Road of artists, merchants and pilgrims, a journey on foot along the path from Siena to Cortona

The Via Lauretana is a path through the heart of Italy to Loreto (Marche). Called "the world's oldest Marian path," it passes through some of the most important places of Christianity in Italy. We will follow the Tuscan part of this ancient Via.

Six days on the road from the magnificent medieval city of Siena to Etruscan Cortona through the iconic landscapes of the Crete Senesi and the fertile and industrious Val di Chiana, the villages of Torrita, Asciano, Sinalunga, Serre di Rapolano and Scrofiano. 

A journey to be discovered, in a part of Tuscany that is little known and for this reason authentic, full of hidden treasures of incredible beauty. We will travel this ancient road slowly, with open hearts and eyes, enjoying the encounter with the local people, tasting their culinary delicacies (ever heard of Val di Chiana aglione or Chianina cows?), visiting the parish churches, farms and Leopoldina farms that tell so much about the history of land reclamation and sharecropping in these places on the fringes of large-scale mass tourism.
