A chance to escape from the hordes who are increasingly beating
a path to the city of flowers. Seeing the Perugino in Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi
is like a visit to a little shrine buried deep in the Tuscan countryside. The
walk down from San Miniato gives a similar impression of how Florence must
once have been, with the city leading straight into the surrounding landscape.
The Villa Gamberaia is one of the most beautiful formal gardens in Tuscany.
