Geotoura – Hotel concept
When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, a location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.
We divide our hotels into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.
Boutique Hotels – Four categories
Encantador (“Charming”): Our most affordable option. Lovingly furnished rooms that offer everything the discerning traveller expects.
Especial (“Special”): Hotels with a special ambience – historic palaces, monasteries, haciendas or beach hotels with exceptional charm. Perfect for the classic cultural tour.
Extraordinario (“Extraordinary”): Luxurious hotels in excellent locations and with the highest level of comfort, often in centuries-old aristocratic palaces, old oil mills or haciendas.
Luna de Miel (“honeymoon”): For the honeymoon – span. Luna de miel – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …
Character of this travel idea
Experience culture
The Fortezza Medicea towers over Volterra. Even standing in front of this mighty structure, you cannot fail to be impressed. You are not allowed to enter it – and you would not want to anyway, as the imposing walls now serve as a prison. The Fortezza looks down on the Parco Archeologico, among other things.
On the site, you can embark on a journey back in time to Roman and Etruscan Volterra. Take a seat on the steps of the theatre at this excavation site and soon you will be able to see the actors playing to the cheering crowds in your mind’s eye.
This 14-day tour of Tuscany takes you back to the Middle Ages to Grosseto, a city that only really flourished under the Medici. They also had the imposing city walls built, which still characterise the face of Grosseto today.
Experience nature
Not far from Grosseto, the fine beaches of Marina di Grosseto stretch along the Adriatic coast. From this beach paradise, it is only a stone’s throw to the Parco Naturale della Maremma. Here, in some places, you could almost imagine yourself in the African savannah as you walk through the lush landscape.
However, you will not encounter lions or zebras in this nature park, but rather deer, wild horses and the free-roaming Maremma cattle. The coastal macchia is also home to countless birds, so you can collect many wonderful memories here on your 14-day round trip through Toskana .
Tuscany Culinary delights
The cuisine of Tuscany is simple, rustic and extremely tasty. Bread, and unsalted bread at that, plays a major role here and will accompany you everywhere on your round trip through Tuscany. Fettunta or one of the many crostini variations are often served as a small greeting from the kitchen. Soups are also popular – rich ones such as ribollita or pappa al pomodoro. Vegetable soups such as carabaccia, zuppa di porri or fagioli are also extremely delicious.
Compared to the rest of Italy, the pasta dishes are rather modest. Pappardelle, for example, are delicious – wide ribbon noodles that are often eaten with meat sauces such as game, hare or even rabbit. Meat dishes are generally very popular in Tuscany. Whether boiled, roasted or braised, as bistecca or arista alla fiorentina, ossobuco, stracotto or peposo – the range of meat dishes is immense.
This also applies to vegetables, with beans and black cabbage, cavolo nero, being the frontrunners here and used in numerous dishes. Why not enjoy a picnic in the countryside? With pecorino, finocchiona, an aromatic fennel salami, cantuccini and a good bottle of Chianti or Montepulciano in the basket, this becomes a culinary experience.
