This nine-night Exquisite Visits tour includes
seven nights at our luxury 800 year old villa and two nights in Florence with spectacular views. All rooms have a private bathroom, air-conditioning, and wifi. At the villa you will have access to the breathtaking 60’ oval pool and 6 acres of gardens and grounds. You can find a gym, a tennis court, bocce court, spa, and a gaming room, if you wish. In your suite you will find a personal iPod and docking station with thousands of songs and albums and surround sound, which you can enjoy in your private sitting area. This package includes: breakfast each day, eight dinners, which includes the one dinner cooking class, three to five lunch cooking classes (as you can replace a cooking class with a round of golf or take the option of having a full day in Siena as opposed a half day), and one additional lunch while on our cheese farm visit and outing to Montalcino. The dinners at the villa will take place on the beautiful outdoor terrace, weather permitting. Two wine tastings, a cheese farm visit, and sightseeing in Montalcino, Siena, Florence, among another couple of charming towns are added inclusions of your exquisite visit. Several walking tours by a historian are included, in addition to two book discussions and two film showings for those interested. Strolls or bike rides around the landscape and surrounding hills during your stay at the villa are a must during this last week of summer and into the first days of fall. Cooking classes take part in Florence, at the villa, and possibly in a Tuscan house of a renowned chef, or even possibly in an old monastery. All transportation and taxes for this tour are included, however, travelers are responsible for scheduling and paying for your own transportation to the arrival city and from departure city. Other things you may want to include: an additional round of golf at a privately owned club, a ride in a hot air balloon, or private tennis lesson, among other possibilities, such as yoga instructions. To learn about this tour, please contact us! This tour is dependent on selling at least 10 rooms, therefore, it is perfect for an organized group or wedding. Alterations can be made. |
