What’s Included
Your Stay
You’ll be living it up in a 5-star villa nestled in the Tuscan countryside. Think stone walls, sprawling views of olive groves, and a pool you’ll never want to leave. The villa’s got that perfect mix of rustic and luxe—comfy beds, maybe a fireplace, and a terrace for morning espresso. It’s just outside Florence, so you’re close to the city but far enough to feel like you’ve escaped the world. Daily breakfast is included, piled high with fresh fruits, pastries, and local cheeses to fuel your adventures.
Private Vineyard Tours
We’ve lined up two private vineyard tours in the Chianti region, where you’ll visit family-run wineries that know their stuff. Sip on bold Chiantis and crisp whites while learning how the grapes go from vine to bottle. Each tour includes tastings (generous ones, don’t worry) and a chat with the winemaker. One spot might even throw in a light lunch with charcuterie and bruschetta—because wine tastes better with food.
Florence Art Walks
Get ready for a 3-hour guided art walk through Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. A local guide will lead you through the Uffizi Gallery, pointing out masterpieces like Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Michelangelo’s works, with stories that bring the art to life. You’ll also stroll the city’s streets, hitting spots like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. It’s not stuffy—just enough history to make you feel smart, with plenty of time to snap pics or grab a gelato.
Authentic Italian Dining Experiences
Two dinners are included, and they’re the real deal. One’s at a countryside trattoria, serving up homemade pappardelle with wild boar ragù and tiramisu that’ll ruin you for all other desserts. The other’s in Florence, at a cozy spot with candlelit vibes and dishes like bistecca alla fiorentina. Both come with local wine, naturally. You’ll also get tips for other eateries, so every meal feels like a discovery.
Extras
We’re throwing in a personalized guide with recs for off-the-grid spots—like a hidden hilltop village or a market for local goodies. Our direct airline deals (flights not included) keep travel costs down, and we’ll help you book the best options. Want to add a cooking class or a hot air balloon ride? Just ask, and we’ll make it happen.
