Tuscany is a wonderful year-round destination, but many miss the best time of year...the fall. With the crowds gone and a refreshing chill in the air, this is the season when Tuscany becomes yours. I design these trips on an individual basis, conferring with the clients to create the ideal getaway whether for one, for couples or for groups.
The villas are hand-picked from some of the finest properties available and are ours for the week. No sharing with other groups, no hotel-like atmosphere and no hassles. All meals are prepared at the villa (unless we eat out) and only local ingredients are used. After breakfast and some down time, you will be able to accompany the chef into town to go on his/her daily market run for the day’s lunch and dinner. I find these excursions to be a great way to decompress and relax, while also focusing on something creative and nourishing. Further, these adventures are the perfect way to observe and become one of the locals as you experience Tuscan life and all that it has to offer.
These packages include (along with your chef and server) daily continental breakfasts at the villa, four lunches and three dinners (of course these can be modified), with wine and other non-alcoholic beverages included. Also included is any and all admissions to tastings, museums, galleries, historic sites and parks. Transportation will be provided round-trip between the airport and villa, but a personal vehicle may be worthwhile if you want to set out on your own personal adventure. All accommodations are based on double/twin beds unless otherwise specified.
