The car
About this car in Florence
Under the open skies of southern Tuscany, a Kingfisher Blue convertible looks like it belongs in a painting. The Continental GTC V8 brings 550 hp, all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox to the Val d'Orcia, where the road from San Quirico to Pienza winds between UNESCO-listed hills and lines of cypresses. It is about 110 km from Florence, a relaxed grand-touring distance.
For a second excursion, head west to the coast: the Viale dei Cipressi in Bolgheri runs five kilometres from San Guido to the village, among the wineries of the great Tuscan reds. With the roof down, the V8 is muted and refined rather than loud, and 4.1 seconds to 100 km/h is more than enough for the occasional overtaking on the Aurelia.
Four seats and a 235-litre boot allow a couple's weekend with some extras. Winter tyres are fitted in the cold season, though spring and autumn are ideal for open-top driving. Florence's centre is a camera-controlled ZTL; the car is delivered to your hotel's registered garage, a villa, Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella, with insurance included.
