Florence Day Trips
Orvieto: Thunderstorms, Underground Caves and One Ridiculously Beautiful Cathedral
A torrential downpour wasn’t enough to ruin our day in Orvieto. We headed beneath the Umbrian hill town to explore 2,500 years of underground tunnels, Etruscan wells, pigeon caves and an ancient olive mill before emerging to one of the most spectacular cathedral façades in Italy.
Certaldo – A Medieval Hill Town in Tuscany
A day trip from Florence brought us to Certaldo Alto, a remarkably quiet medieval Tuscan hill town filled with brick streets, centuries-old frescoes, Boccaccio history, olive groves and some seriously good views.
