​

The Tuscan Villa

​

We stumbled upon the most idyllic Tuscan villa! It captured our hearts instantly. Our luxiruious Tuscan features ten private rooms, each boasting its own ensuite. Adorned with rustic wood beams and arch ceilings, it has a magnificent country kitchen and a spectacular large dining room perfect to host our memorable feasts. Surrounding the villa is a breathtaking rose garden.  The generously sized pool has sweeping views of the Tuscan hills and vineyards. Additionally, an outdoor dining area, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven, is available for us to indulge in delightful al fresco dining.

 

Situated in the heart of the Chianti Region, between the picturesque cities of Florence and Siena, close to Poggibonsi, the villa enjoys an ideal location amidst the rolling countryside hills. Its proximity to renowned wine regions like Chianti and Montalcino offers us unparalleled opportunities for wine exploration. Moreover, the villa’s strategic position allows for easy access to a myriad of captivating fortified towns, including Montegrigioni and San Gimigiano. Without a doubt, this charming villa provides us with the perfect base to embark on our remarkable Tuscany Culinary Adventure.

Our fellow travellers tends to be respectful, open minded and fun loving with a keen interest for learning and experiencing new things. Our tours are rather active, we use our private bus to get to our destination, but there is walking involved while visiting towns, vineyards, farms and attractions. While, we can always adapt to personal needs, our tours are better enjoyed by those with good mobility. ​ Most of our clients have travelling experience and are accustom to travel on their own. We provide full support for an entire week but our participants must be comfortable to get to and from our meeting point at each destination. Our tours will not check everything out of one's bucket list but rather offer a unique perspective and meaningful connections to the particular area we are visiting.
  • How big are your groups?
    Our groups are generally around 20 people. Big enough to give the opportunity to meet and discuss with a variety of people during our long table dinners and activities but intimate enough to get to know everyone personally and have your own personal time and space. Occasionally, we split the group in half to accomodate more intimate activities.

    All our culinary adventures are 8 days and 7 nights. We start around 10 AM on the first day and finish in the late afternoon on the last day. Each day is filled with unique experiences and activities.

    We will provide a convenient meeting point where our tour bus can pick us up and drop us off. Our meeting point will be in a city (travel hub) where there is an airport/ train station/ harbour.

On our last day, the bus will take us back to the near by city and drop us off at our meeting point and/or near the train station. We will provide detailed instructions for each destinations.
