When one is thinking about planning to get around Tuscany, they may be considering the methods of travel that best allow them to make the most of the famously beautiful scenery of the Tuscan countryside and towns and how to admire them as they move about. Among them, one method of travel that may be less efficient and practical when it comes to getting from A to B but is certainly among the best possible ways to soak up the incredible beauty of this part of the world has to be hot air ballooning!
A magical, whimsical, and utterly romantic way to explore the region if you have found and booked one of our stunning villas with pools in Tuscany, a hot air balloon excursion is a must for those who want to make unforgettable memories.
There are many different companies located throughout the region that offer various packages and courses as part of their hot air balloon excursions from romantic outings with picnics for two to family trips (children above the age of five are usually allowed to partake but the exact specifics of this may differ from company to company) and that are available at different price points. So, depending on what you are interested in, you can choose your option accordingly.
Ballooning in Tuscany offers a trip over forests, vineyards, and historic towns followed by a glass or two of Prosecco and a breakfast featuring food from local markets and pastries made that same morning at a local bakery. Shared rides cost €280 per person, with children under 12 receiving a discount of €60 but you can also arrange private tours as well. Balloon Tuscany, meanwhile, also covers vineyards in Chianti but can also head right over Florence in the right weather conditions, again with shared and private options that include transportation to and from your accommodation. Prices start at €270 per person.
A not-inexpensive but unforgettable experience, a hot air balloon excursion is a magical adventure for those with a taste for such things who book one of our villas in Tuscany. And, if you’re looking to ask a very important question during your trip, we couldn’t think of a better time and place to do it...
