My friend and I did the olive picking experience. We were taught about growing olives and shown how they are picked, then we helped pick the olive from a tree they picked out for us. Appreciate the work and skill that goes into growing, harvesting and processing olives into extra virgin olive oil that is the purest and most delicious olive oil you will ever taste. Fabio, one of the family that owns the farm, and Luca our guide, made the experience the best time we had in Italy. We had a lovely lunch on the farm on a beautiful sunny warm day. We ordered some of the oil that would be made with the olives that we helped pick. It came today and we are enjoying the experience all over again. We have already decided we want to go back again! Please don't miss this experience it is the best time you will have!!!

Podere La Chiesa is a winery located among the Pisan hills, 30km south-east of Pisa along the road to Volterra. It is on the top of an upland (125 meters a.s.l.) just before the little village of Casanova. Thanks to the great passion and skills of Maurizio Iannantuono and Palma Tonacci, Podere La Chiesa produces high quality wines organic and mostly from Sangiovese grape that is the most important autochthonous character of the territory.

This is a small winery in the Tuscany area. We were so impressed by our host, Palma. The winery is a beautiful building which showcases the two passions of its owners - wine and art. There is a small but stunning art gallery above the wine cellar. We had a tour and explanation of the wine making process and history of this small boutique winery and the area. We were a party of eight with one person with a gluten intolerance. I had emailed Palma the day prior and she was happy to provide a (delicious and interesting) gluten free meal to our GI member. We sat down at a beautiful table to a wonderful meal with a different wine for each course. The food was plentiful and delicious. The large glass windows and high ceilings make for a lovely ambience. The view of the vineyards is stunning. We stayed for four hours and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend. Very memorable.

Classic tour in Tenuta Prima Pietra wineyard. Located in the top hill with an amazing view. Step by step you are brilliantly conducted by Alice throughout all the wine making process, appreciating how carefully Prima Pietra wine is made. It is a highly suggested out-of-town trip, where your can spend a couple of hours tasting good wine, chatting about it and appreciating the beautiful panorama offered by Tenuta Prima Pietra terrace.

5. Leaning Tower of Pisa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23,329 reviews
It is called the Leaning Tower or the Tower of Pisa but actually it was never used for defending the city; it is part of the religious complex in the Duomo Square and acts as its bell tower. It played an active role in both human and divine timekeeping with its seven bells – one for each musical note – the largest of which, cast in 1655, weighs a full three and a half tonnes! It is known throughout the world for the beauty of its architecture, for its extraordinary tilt, which makes it an authentic miracle of statics, and for the fact that it stands in the universally renowned Piazza dei Miracoli, of which it is certainly the prize jewel. And this is why it is one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

We got a early train from Rome 6.25 up to Pisa. Train was pre-booked and a short walk from where we staying. Train station was easy to navigate and get on right train. We got there around 9ish and then walked 15mins to the Tower. We were lucky with good weather and the sun was out. It was not too busy at this time so you get a better chance to get a clear view to take you mandatory "holding/pushing" the tower. We went up the tower for a good view. Stairs are a little tight but fine for the average person. Good view out across Pisa at the top. We didn't book any of the other buildings so not sure if we missed out there or not but the Leaning Tower was the highlight. Got a 2pm'ish train back to Rome. Helped break up our trip and really glad we planned this in and feel like we ticked it off the bucket list in an efficient way by grouping with Rome visit

Walking around this central square, one can find the Palace of the Scuola Normale of Pisa, the Church of S. Stefano and the Palace of the Orologio, where Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned and condemned to die, as narrated by Dante in the Divine Comedy.

This is the second most beautiful Piazza in Pisa, after the Piazza dei Miracoli, in my opinion. The shape of this square is that of a trapezoid. The main building is the Palazzo della Carovana, now Scuola Normale Superiore founded by Napoleon, which currently serves as extension of the local university. There are 2 churches and other historic buildings that beautifully sorround the square.

We were blown away by this small unimposing museum. We spend a great deal of time in Italy searching out older pieces of art and were amazed to find such a great collection at the national Museum of San Matteo. Whereas you might see the occasional 13th century crucifix, here they have a whole room of them. I cannot recommend this museum enough!

This beautiful Pisan gothic church, which reportedly had one of the thorns of Jesus crown, was moved from a lower level by the river to its current location, just overlooking the river. At sunset, the sunlight enters through the coloured glass windows for a truly magnificent effect.

The Cemetery is the last monument on Piazza del Duomo, its long marble wall flanking the northern boundary and completing its shape. It was founded in 1277.

This was part of our combo ticket for the Field of Miracles. It was worth it. Wonderful frescos inside, that are still being restored from WW II damage. This is a cemetery building, but also full of art. Get this on your combo ticket! It is amazingly quiet after the hustle and bustle of the outside.
