Historical tour in Tuscany

Visit Castello di Meleto for an insight into how the Tuscan’s protected their land. Look for the holes in the castle walls where the arrowheads would be released to protect the Castello. Also a great wedding venue!

We went on a wine tasting and enjoyed it. We were sad to find out that the tour cost extra, and the day we went, there was a wedding so we couldn't do it. But, we totally understand that they make money by doing tours,...More
