Tuscany in September

I went to a lovely holiday in Tuscany this September. The farmhouse/ BB was lovely and the food was great. The weather on one of the walks was fierce one day: really strong storm ( Föhn)/ hail/ rain.. We had to return to base and explored the area closer to home.The superb knowledge of the local area of our guide Sara allowed us to have great walks on the right side of the mountains for the rest of the week! It is a beautiful place
Our Italian taxi driver family spoke English with the broadest Glasgow accent!
I went to Lucca on the day off and it is really amazing- the local city tour guide was really good!
I will certainly come back to Garfagnana – and will try to learn a bit Italian first!

Most Inspirational Moment

I really enjoyed the rock arch of Monte Forato - the walk up through the beech trees and back through meadows on a beautiful day was really relaxing and allowed me to quietly dream about the world go by before the fog came in from the sea.. The other walk I really enjoyed was the one to Monte Tambura ending in the shepherds village of Campocatino a small shepherd's village which is being beautifully restored in local style. It will be super once they are finished. All the walks led us through beautiful areas on well marked routes.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara had superb knowledge of the area and found beautiful walks every day -that was especially useful when the Föhn weather required change of plan for some days. She also tried her best to help group members who were really worried about some aspects of the walks ( height especially). To have Marmite for breakfast for the english group members was the icing on the cake!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Please read the walk descriptions carefully .Remember to bring a long-arm layer and gloves! Sara will safely bring you back down safely no matter what the weather so no worries ,

Walking in tuscany

Brilliant holiday – good walking good food – lovely accommodation

Most Inspirational Moment

The views when we reached the summits of our climbs

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was great very informative but she always had our safety in minds

A great weeks walking

Based in a lovely valley with great views and a pool. The leader selected the order of the walks to take advantage of the day’s weather and was very knowledgeable about the local area.

Most Inspirational Moment

The views were amazing from forrest to coastline all were spectacular.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent leader with walking tips and general info.

A great week in the Tuscan mountains, spent hiking, learning about the local region, meeting the locals, and enjoying the time in the converted farmhouse accommodation (Braccicorti). A fun week with a lovely group of people.

Most Inspirational Moment

Climbing the Monte Prudo peak on the last day. The weather had been a bit varied in the week (ranging from thunder and lightning to hot sunshine) but on the day of the hike the weather was beautiful and clear so the views from the top were absolutely stunning. Great fun navigating the strong winds, lunch at the top of the peak, breath-taking scenery, beautiful woodland, home-cooked food to return to - a perfect day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Awesome - Sara was enthusiastic, energetic, caring, skilled, steady, reliable and organised throughout the trip. She was encouraging of everybody in the group, and took a strongly positive and inclusive approach to everyone, whatever their abilities or needs. Her extensive knowledge of the region and it's community meant that she could arrange the week's activities flexibly to cater for changes in the weather and the group's preferences. I learned so many new things about hiking and outdoors activities in just one week, from Sara's experience and knowledge. And her sense of humour added to the fun!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for variable weather conditions, and changes in the itinerary because of it. The outdoor swimming pool is lovely, but it's not heated so was chilly to swim in in September - brace yourself!

Great trip

Excellent holiday with beautiful scenary and staying in a lovely agriturismo which was a home from home

Most Inspirational Moment

Glorious mountain walks to Monte Prado and Pania de Croce

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz surpassed my expectations of a group leader and made the trip unforgettable

Walking in Tuscany

The week was well planned, thought out and enjoyable, Sara and the team at Braccicorti did an excellent job both with the walks and domestic arrangements each day through to arranging an interesting and worthwhile trip to Lucca on our free day. A good job well done.

Most Inspirational Moment

Each day brought different memories which were all very good, there was no individual moment that exceeded any other but the trip as a whole was inspirational.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was a professional and interesting guide who had a vast amount of knowledge about the area, her planning skills were second to none and she made the trip into a holiday that I would recommend to anyone. Sara also went above and beyond in arranging a 60th birthday party which was not part of her normal role which added to the overall enjoyment we had during the trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be well prepared for walking in hot weather with temperatures reaching 35+ degrees.

Walking in Tuscany

5 days of varied walking over the ridges and peaks of tuscany. The weather was generally very kind and the accommodation and welcome was superb. The food and wine was varied and cooked fresh. Bellisimo! Our tour guide was inspirational and full of stories and adventure. Worth the trip on its own. I encourage people to go and enjoy the tranquility of the tuscany mountains. Our stay in the lodge was fun and relaxing. I went on the challenging week and the hikes where sufficient to test my stamina.

Most Inspirational Moment

The peacefulness of the mountains and the ability to feel far away from the normality of life. Using the ropes to edge around the ridges. Exhilarating!

Thoughts on Group Leader

I have completed many tours over the last 8 years and Sara bull is by far the best tour leader. Always aiming to please and getting all the small details spot-on. Sara puts her clients at ease and I had a marvellous time. Sara has immense knowledge and the ability to inspire further travel.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This trip is a must,for an all-round experience. Walking,food and hospitality. Take all the gear for various weather and enjoy a dip in the pool.

Walking in Tuscany

A really good if challenging (for me) series of walks in the Garfagnana region of Tuscany. Beautiful scenery, lovely beech forest, very hospitable hosts at the Agritourismo & dogs that came walking with us. Awesome!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking in the beautiful beech forests

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent - so knowledgeable, encouraging, funny and helpful. She really looked after all of us & her love for the region was inspiring.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you have gear for wet weather as well as dry and be prepared for plenty of home cooked Italian food!!

WALKING IN TUSCANY

This was an exceptional trip with great accommodation and walking under the direction of Sara a really experienced and hard-working guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

The setting of the villa overlooking a fantastic Tuscany valley.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was quite exceptional.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take appropriate precautions to deal with ticks.

Walking Tuscany

A wonderful experience of walking in a more remote, mountainous part of Tuscany with an excellent and experienced guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Very difficult to isolate one moment but probably the 360 degree view from Monte Sumbra encompassing the Italian coast and the Appenines. The wild flowers were stunning in particular the wild peonies in the Orecchiella National Park.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was a brilliant leader - encouraging at the front or supporting at the back! Her knowledge of the area, flora and fauna were inspirational. Our free day in Lucca went without a hitch thanks to her help. She recommended shorter, low level walks, complete with maps and directions for anyone who needed a 'day off'.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would recommend boots, for ankle support, and trekking poles - particularly for the descents. Braccicorti is not in a village and walking along the roads is not recommended because of fast traffic. Opportunities occur at the end of some of the walks to find shops and ATM machines. If you need extra snacks for walking take them with you from home.
