Sailing and Seaside

Feel like having an unforgettable experience?

vela_1.jpgThis dream programme will offer you everything you need to organize the best possible holidays in Italy and Tuscany, including art, culture, cooking, language, sport and excursions.

During the first week we will show you the beauties of Florence and take you around for  instructive walks and excursions. We will also show you all the places worth visiting, as well as some hidden and picturesque spots. Are you a fan of Italian cooking? Taking part in the cooking course you will have the opportunity to prepare a typical Italian meal. The 1st week programme will come to an end with a tasty dinner. 

The programme also includes a 15-hour Italian course designed to help you get closer to the local habits and – in case you were a beginner - communicate in a simple way, e.g. how to order at the restaurant and introduce yourself.

vela_c.jpgThe programme of the second week will start on Saturday with an excursion to the mediaeval town of Volterra. After that we will drive to the seaside where a typical dinner on a sailboat will be awaiting you.

During the week you will have an unforgettable experience, sailing all the time by the isles of Elba, Capraia, Giglio e Giannutri, always in contact with uncontaminated nature.

Moreover, you will spend some time on the islands so as to get familiar with the major resorts, their charm and their history.

Discover the breathtaking landscape, the cliffs, the sunny beaches and the fabulous sunsets. A professional skipper will assist you in your sailing adventure.

Of course, you will spend the night on board. All the information on excursions and meals is specified in the schedule below.
