About the Tour...

Our tours of up to eight people are designed to give flexibility and freedom while drawing on the depth of our knowledge and experience.

Carlo's tours through the heart of Tuscany will include villages and landmarks considered by locals to be the hidden gems of this beautiful part of the world and the fascinating stories attached to them. Interspersed between the  day trips is a cooking school with Sioban, plus a day to relax, shop and explore the historic city of Cortona near your villa.

About the Accommodation...

Personally selected by us, the 4.5 to 5 star
villas are within walking distance of Cortona.
Chosen for their superior finish, quality furnishings and superb location, they offer all the comforts of home, including bedrooms all with private bathrooms, a beautiful pool and outdoor area from which you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Val di Chiana.



About the Cooking Schools...

Carlo and Sioban met and fell in love in Tuscany, so their passion and love of food is a powerful combination. Not only will you learn the secrets of authentic Tuscan cooking, but you will also enjoy the experience of meeting and conversing with the locals at the shops while buying fresh produce for our Italian feast cooked by you. Followed by a long leisurely lunch and local wines to match!
