Springtime in Tuscany

Forget springtime in Paris. Tuscany is the place to be, when the countryside is ablaze with the verdant colors of the season and the azaleas and camelias are in full bloom. Sceptre Tours' 6-Night Explore Tuscany Vacation offers an idyllic escape to Europe's most celebrated region, priced from just $799 per person, based on 4 people sharing a two-bedroom apartment at Fattoria degli Usignoli, which was originally built by the monks of Vallombrosa in the14th century. Round-trip air and rental car for the week are also included.

From La Fattoria which sits high in the hills of Tuscany and is surrounded by a fairy-tale country landscape of olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees, all the top sights and activities of the region are easily accessible. Shoppers especially, will delight in the proximity to The Mall--one of Italy's top designer outlets, offering unbelievable discounts on all of the top brands including Gucci, Armani, Fendi and more, just 10 minutes away.

This corner of Italian paradise is also only 25 minutes from magnificent Florence and close to the cities of Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, and Arezzo to name just a few. When not out exploring the vineyards or visiting the vast array of nearby cultural, artistic, and historical sights, visitors can simply sit back, relax, and take in the country charm, delicious food, and stunning scenery of Tuscany.
