The car
About this car in Florence
Some of the best roads around Florence are narrow, winding and lined with stone walls, and a big car spends them braking. The 718 Boxster is the opposite: light, compact, with the engine behind your back and a balance that makes the SR222 Chiantigiana feel like it was drawn for it. From the edge of the city to Greve, Panzano and Castellina you climb and drop between wineries and cypress hills, roof down, at a pace where the 300 hp turbo flat-four never has to work hard.
For a short outing on the first evening, drive up through San Domenico to Fiesole and stop above the city at sunset; the bends on the way up are a good introduction to the car. With two boots, front and rear, the Boxster holds 300 litres in total, enough for a couple's weekend in a Chianti agriturismo, which is more than most expect from a two-seater roadster.
Rear-wheel drive makes it a spring-to-autumn car; winter tyres are fitted in the cold season, but for snowy passes choose an all-wheel-drive model. Inside the viali Florence is a ZTL, so ask your hotel to register the plate or keep the car outside the zone. We deliver it to Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei, Santa Maria Novella or your hotel, as agreed when booking, with insurance included and 24/7 assistance.
- Mid-engined, light and agile on the Chiantigiana

Drives from Florence, the best months and when to book
Suited to this car
- The Chianti (about 40 km from Florence): The SR222 Chiantigiana from Florence to Greve, Panzano and Castellina, between wineries and cypress hills.
- Fiesole (about 8 km from Florence): The climb through San Domenico to Fiesole, with its Roman theatre and the view over the whole of Florence: the shortest outing, perfect at sunset.
- Siena and San Gimignano (about 70 km from Florence): The motorway link to Siena and Piazza del Campo, then the medieval towers of San Gimignano among the Vernaccia vineyards; both old towns are limited traffic zones, so you park outside the walls.
