Feel the Magic of Tuscany for Eight Days & Seven Nights at in a Three-Bedroom Villa for Up to Six People, Including Lunch, Tour and Tasting in a Winery, and Dinner Prepared by a Private Chef

Inspiration abounds in Tuscany, with its extraordinary countryside, beautiful art, rolling hills, sensational cuisine and fine wine! Immerse yourself in the enviable Tuscan lifestyle of dining al fresco on the patio, enjoying views of rolling hills, sipping aperitifs or espressos at sidewalk bistros, and shopping trips to the open-air markets for fresh produce - you may never want to leave! Add the perfect personal touch to your pampering vacation with a wine tour and tasting at a local winery, in addition to a three-course meal prepared by a private chef in your villa - buon appetito!

Tuscany is known for its compelling history, artistic legacy, its influence on high culture, and breathtaking landscapes that are home to the remains of millennia-old Etruscan settlements, isolated hamlets whose stone-built bell towers date back to the Middle Ages, and grand art cities whose heritage is invaluable. Known as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Tuscany is also revered for its wines, including Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano, Brunello di Montalcino and white Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Swirl, sniff and sip the wines of Tuscany on a wine cellar tour, which includes lunch.

Just one hour drive from arguably the most beautiful city in the world, Florence, and less than two hours' drive to historic Rome, Tuscany hosts innumerable astounding localities, many of which are also named UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, with extraordinary paintings and sculptures, frescoes and architectural masterpieces. Spend some time exploring the landmarks of historic Cortona, such as the Piazza della Republica, the 13th century town hall and clock tower that is now one of Cortona's main plazas, or the Duomo, the Renaissance cathedral featuring an 11th century facade and gorgeous 16th and 17th century paintings inside.

After a day of exploring the hilly towns of Tuscany, all you'll want to do is unwind in your own spacious villa! With three bedrooms and bathrooms, your villa is the ideal private getaway, immersing you in the Tuscan lifestyle, yet still keeping you within a short distance of the vivacious Tuscan town life and medieval town walls of Cortona, and the beauties of ancient Etruscan History.

Delight your palate with dishes that have made history. You'll dine on traditional Tuscan cuisine, composed mostly of fresh and simple seasonal ingredients, including many legumes, cheeses, vegetables and fruits, when a private chef prepares a three-course dinner in your villa.

Your trip for up to six people includes:

  • 8 days/7 nights accommodations at a three-bedroom villa
  • Lunch in a winery, including cellar tour and tasting experience
  • Three-course traditional dinner prepared by a private chef in the villa
  • Midweek cleaning and changing linens
  • All room-related taxes
