Day 1
Ladispole to Porto Ercole
Private transfers by two minivans from hotel La Posta Vecchia to Il Pellicano. Stop on the way in Tarquinia. Service ends: Il Pellicano, Porto Ercole.
Tarquinia is a lovely modern city where some of the finest products of Etruscan art can be admired. Tarquinia's large-scale wall paintings are exceptional both for their formal qualities and for their content, which reveal aspects of life, death, and religious beliefs of the ancient Etruscans. The Necropolis' masterpieces are quite unique. Moreover, the depiction of daily life in the frescoed tombs, many of which are replicas of Etruscan houses, is a unique testimony to this vanished culture. Many of the tombs of Tarquinia represent types of buildings which no longer exist in any other form. The cemeteries, replicas of Etruscan town planning schemes, are some of the earliest existing in the region. For all these reasons, the Etruscan Necropolis were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The tour continues towards Tuscany with a stop for a light lunch in Orbetello or Capalbio, in the lovely "Maremma".

The restaurant has two Michelin stars and the elegant dining room has a large terrace with beautiful sea views and a cellar with more than a thousand labels of wine.
