Day 1 | Welcome to Tuscany
Your journey begins in the heart of Florence, where you'll meet your fellow travellers before enjoying a private transfer through the rolling Tuscan countryside to our exclusive villa. Settle into your new home before gathering for a relaxed welcome evening, complete with a beautifully prepared three-course Tuscan dinner by your private chef—the perfect start to an unforgettable few days together.
Day 2 | Florence & Chianti
Ease into the day with a leisurely brunch in Florence before enjoying free time to wander its charming streets, browse local boutiques or simply soak up the city's atmosphere. In the afternoon, venture into the heart of Chianti for a boutique vineyard experience, where you'll discover the region's renowned wines against a backdrop of rolling vineyards. Return to Florence for dinner before travelling back to the villa by private transfer.
Day 3 | Slow Living in Tuscany
Today is all about embracing the slower pace of Tuscan life. Enjoy a chef-prepared breakfast before spending the day unwinding by the pool, exploring the local surroundings or simply relaxing at the villa. A fresh buffet lunch will be served before the evening comes alive with a hands-on pizza-making experience, led by a local pizzaiolo who'll bring authentic Italian flavours directly to the villa.
Day 4 | Discover Florence
After another leisurely morning, return to Florence for brunch and time to explore at your own pace. In the afternoon, uncover the city's rich history and hidden gems on a guided walking tour led by a knowledgeable local guide. Round off the day with dinner in Florence before returning to the villa for one final evening together.
Day 5 | Until Next Time
Enjoy a final chef-prepared breakfast overlooking the Tuscan countryside before saying your goodbyes. A private transfer will return the group to central Florence, leaving you with unforgettable memories, meaningful connections and a little piece of Tuscany to take home with you.
