 James Lasdun and Pia Davis offer forty walks through the spectacular countryside of Tuscany and Umbria. Arranged for the utmost flexibility—from half-day outings easily accessible from a city base to day walks that can be linked together in a series—the itineraries combine the pleasures of walking and eating with one of the most enchanting landscapes in the world. Calling at medieval hill towns, secluded Benedictine abbeys, spring-fed pools, and Etruscan ruins, Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria enables travelers to discover Italy's finest delights in a singularly rewarding way.
New 2005 EditionFully updated for 2005—the classic guide to the dazzling landscapes and hidden delights of two of Italy's most tantalizing provinces.We are very excited to announce a new edition of our book. We returned to Italy last year and updated most of the walks and restaurant listings, and added several spectacular new walks. Over the past nine years many people have written to us about their experiences with the original edition of Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria, often including very useful updated information. We in turn passed along this information to other readers who contacted us before they left on their trip, asking if we had any updates. This exchange of information seemed so helpful we thought we would make a web site to facilitate updating. We are very grateful to any readers who leave updates; most particularly to the walk routes themselves, but also to our restaurant and accomodations listings. It is a great pleasure to read accounts of your experiences. |
