Azzurra and Christian
The story of our Agenzia di Servizi al Turismo, "Viaggi
D'Ambra", springs from the valley where it
is located: the Valdambra. It would be impossible to talk
about them and their work without first describing such
a special area hidden away in the most enchanting part of
Tuscany.
The Valdambra area in central Tuscany is not far from the
most beautiful sites and cities in the region. Placed in
a central position between Florence, Arezzo, Siena and the
Chianti hills, the valley has withstood the excessive tourist
development that has changed the face of many areas.
It is useless to look up Valdambra in your tourist guide..you
won't find it! This land seems to belong to another era,
with its traditions, its magnificent countryside, its age-old
skills and the stories of the local people.
The Valdambra is still an unknown quantity: an area where
tourism, respectful of the surrounding environment, has
left the natural balance unaltered. The atmosphere you breathe
hangs between past and present. The rhythm of time is measured
by the daily life of a real Tuscany, made up of mediaeval
villages or "borghi", antique towers, castles,
churches, glimpses of the magical and legends.
It is still possible here to savour the age-old pleasures
of country life, where memories mix with the present and
time creeps slowly, with the seasons, to the rhythm of seedtime
and harvest.
The idea of turning to tourist services, and taking up
this activity, was born from our love for this land and
its hospitable nature, typical of Tuscan people, but above
all, from our desire to tell and show it to our friends
and guests in its most hidden, secret aspects, those that
make it really "special".
They live in a tiny mediaeval "borgo" with 40
inhabitants, Montebenichi, and the office is in the little
village of Capannole.
Their work starts here, with their affection for this beautiful
Tuscany and their desire to reveal its real face through
their tours, their services, their history, their experience
and....their company.
