Apartments by Fair Winds tour operator. We had booked an apartment for April 2021 and due to Corona virus we had to cancel. Despite the financial difficulties of these times we received a refund this month and found the company very amenable and willing to bring to Florence the good reputation it deserves.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Castel Montalcino and enjoyed the view from the property a lot. It was especially nice as we could benefit from a private tour. We‘d definitely recommend it as a drive-by tour, thanks again for the hospitality!

If you have been to Rome before & have seen all the sights, this should be your next ‘excursion’. We had a private driver take us to Tivoli where we met our private guide...a Roman history schoolteacher who was filling in for a friend. She was sooo knowledgeable! It was HOT, but there was water along the way. The history of Hadrian (Adrian to the Italians) was mind-boggling!! Amazing how they could build what they did in only 20 years! The second part of the tour was nearby & much more lush & beautiful (see pics). Lunch was on our own. Tour guide had a few recommendations. Loved the one we chose (see my review). I liked that we had time for a leisurely lunch nearby before we met our driver for the trip back to our hotel.
