Experiences at your doorstep!
Each tour is carefully curated to the small group of no more than 12 guests. This allows us to share experiences difficult to do with larger groups. We will create a well balanced itinerary of antique buying, gastronomic experiences, local artisans, and plenty of rest and luxuriating at the villa in between these incredible moments! We carefully place ourselves within day trip distance of beautiful villages, and each one has their own magic charm and secrets to uncover.
