Explore, savor and connect with the landscape, food, wine, people and culture of Italy.  Join us for an authentic, immersive, slower-paced, villa-based tour in the Italian countryside. This trip is perfect for solo travelers, couples, friend groups and families.

This tour is limited to 12 guests seeking a respite from their daily life and an opportunity to connect with each other and other like-minded travelers. You will leave your to do lists behind and immerse yourself in an area of Italy known for it's beauty and rich history. 

Expect to be pampered and live in the moment.

You will enjoy chef-prepared meals in your villa. You will be driven to and from all of your activities by a private driver. Your tours will be private for your group only. You will explore medieval villages and learn about what makes them unique.  You will create and eat a four-course Italian meal alongside an Italian chef . You will explore hidden gems like the local market and organic family-run cheese farms, olive groves and wineries. You will feel like a local and your senses will come alive as you see, smell, taste and touch your experiences and hear the stories told by your local tour guides.

The villa is located in the very pretty and tranquil town of Sarteano, a town that is rich in archaeological history with some of the most important Etruscan tombs surrounding its village. There are many shops, restaurants and bars in Sarteano, from boutique groceries to larger supermarkets, as well as an outdoor market every Friday morning.  

The villa has 7 bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathrooms.  Two bedrooms are on the ground floor and a third is also on ground level but is separate from the villa and has its own private entrance (this one is usually reserved for the tour leader).  Four bedrooms are on the second floor, accessible via a staircase.  The villa has many indoor and outdoor gathering areas including private sitting areas between the second floor bedrooms. 

Why we love this villa:  its charm and close proximity to the beautiful medieval hamlet of Sarteano and the historical villages of Pienza and Montepulciano. The villa has incredible views of the Val d’Orcia, modern updates, lots of spaces to gather, indoor well-equipped chef’s kitchen, outdoor kitchen with grill, and gorgeous pool. This villa has all the charm of a 1700s home with all the modern amenities due to the careful restoration by its current owners.
