Die exakte Route des bekanntesten Autorennens Italiens ist noch nicht bekannt, aber eines ist sicher: Heute erleben Sie automobile Geschichte zum Greifen nah. Die legendäre „Mille Miglia“ mit mehreren Hundert teilnehmenden Oldtimern bringt die Hügel der Toskana zum Beben. Die Ausfahrt dieses Tages in „Ihrem“ Mercedes-Benz SL wird so geplant, dass Sie eine Stadtdurchfahrt der vorwiegend aus der Vorkriegszeit stammenden Rennwagen erleben und an Fahrern und Fahrzeugen zum Greifen nah dran sind. Wenn Sie der Verlockung nicht widerstehen können, sich nach der Durchfahrt in den Tross einzufädeln und ein Stück mitzufahren: Tun Sie das!
Diese überaus eindrucksvolle Etappe führt teilweise auf alten Pilgerstraßen südwestlich an Siena vorbei in die Val d’Orcia. In Pienza, benannt nach Papst Pius II., der seinen Geburtsort in ein Kleinod der Renaissance verwandelte, erwartet Sie eine geführte Besichtigung. Für Ihre Mittagspause stehen viele typische „Trattorie“ zur Wahl, einige warten mit spektakulärem Ausblick in die Val d`Orcia auf. Der Weg zurück führt Sie durch eine toskanische Postkartenlandschaft, die „Crete Senesi“, ein zypressengesäumter Hügel reiht sich an den nächsten. Am Grat dieser steil abfallenden Lehmböden windet sich die Landstraße entlang. Nach diesem abwechslungsreichen und ausgiebigen Fahrtag dürfen Sie sich auf ein entspanntes Abendessen auf der Terrasse des Hotels freuen.
On this day we drive winding country roads and lonely mountain roads via Poggibonsi in the direction of San Gimignano . San Gimignano is world famous for its high number of surviving family towers, which are only stumps in other cities, and for its almost unchanged medieval appearance. During a city tour, we stroll through the historic old town, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990, and see the slender towers that characterize the cityscape. This fact has given the place the nickname "Manhattan of the Middle Ages". After an individual lunch break, we set off for the last stage in the direction of the Citadel of Monteriggioni . There you will say goodbye to "your" Mercedes-Benz SL, we will accompany you back to Florence Airport or to the hotel if you are arriving by car.

Tuscany is one of the most picturesque regions of Italy. It impresses with its unique and diverse landscape. Vineyards mingle with olive trees and alternate with the original bareness of the countryside. This sparseness is broken up by lanes of towering cypress trees. Little-used roads wind their way up hills and run through small sleepy villages. Like a backdrop from a 1950’s Italian film.
With Nostalgic you drive on selected routes in Tuscany. Many of them were also sections of the legendary Mille Miglia race. But Tuscany does not only make the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster. It also offers lovers of culture cities such as Siena and San Gimignano and places of interest such as the fortress at Monteriggioni. Even in the weeks before the world-famous horse race, the Palio, in Siena, you might be able to watch the teams during their rehearsals and preparations for the big race. They stroll through the city in their period costumes and practice on their drums preparing for the perfect entry to the Piazza del Campo.
Close your eyes and imagine gliding along the dream roads of Tuscany in a classic Mercedes-Benz. You enjoy the wind in your hair, the driving experience, the scenery, good food and the unique wines of Chianti.
For culture lovers, southern Tuscany offers cities such as Siena and San Gimignano , Volterra and Pienza, Montalcino and Montepulciano are spoiled for choice. Even in the weeks before the world-famous historical horse race, the "Palio" in Siena, the individual "contrade", the city districts, are rehearsing and preparing for the big race to observe. They march through the city in their historical costumes and practice on their drums for the perfect entry into the Piazza Il Campo.
The Tuscan cuisine impresses with its simplicity and fresh ingredients. The dishes are down-to-earth, but prepared with great skill and love. The most important part of a Tuscan meal is bread. It is served with the dishes in countless variations - from simple flatbread to Pan di Ramerino, which is flavored with raisins and rosemary. Of course, a good wine should not be missing in this area. The Tuscan wines impress with their extraordinarily full taste. A classic and certainly the most famous wine is the ruby red Chianti. A black rooster on a gold background, the "Gallo Nero", adorns the label of the Chianti wines. A large number of fattories offer interested wine lovers on site the opportunity to convince themselves of the top quality of their wines.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself gliding along the dream roads of Tuscany in an elegant Mercedes-Benz SL. You enjoy the wind in your hair, the driving experience, the landscape, excellent cuisine and the incomparable wines of Chianti.
