The Tuscan Experience By Renato Di Stefano
12 Aug 2024
“The difference between visiting Tuscany and living it.”
A much-loved experience that has been part of the Phil Hoffmann Travel portfolio for more than 20 years. The fully hosted small group tour for just 10 people is a unique experience that offers a deliciously relaxing 7 night stay at the beautiful 15th Century villa Castellare de’ Sernigi in the heart of Tuscany plus a 3-night stay at the charming apartment hotel Relais Piazza Signoria in the historic centre of Florence, fully hosted by Renato Di Stefano.
The 11-day all-inclusive Tuscan experience offers selective touring of the region in the comfort of private chauffeur driven vehicles through the typical Tuscan countryside of rolling hills topped with ancient castles and the obiquitous pencil pines to some of the most beautiful medieval towns; Barberino val d’Elsa, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pienza, and Montalcino just to name a few. The stay in Florence includes a private guided tour of the Galleria dell’Accademia to marvel at Michelangelo’s David and also the Uffizi Gallery showcasing beautiful works of the great Renaissance masters. Ample free time is available to meander through the streets of Florence at leisure, do some shopping or just sit and relax at one of the many outdoor bars and watch the world go by.
In short, the Tuscan Experience consists of:
- A fully hosted and relaxing 7 night stay in a 15th Century villa in the thousand-year old hamlet of Palazzuolo in the Chianti hills.
- Selective touring of Tuscany in private chauffeur driven vehicles
- 3 nights in Florence in a beautiful “room with a view” of Piazza della Signoria
- Visit and private guided tours of the Galleria dell’Accademia and the Uffizi Gallery
- A private visit to a boutique Brunello winery in Montalcino
- A tour of the number one winery in the world, Cantina Antinori in Bargino
- Delicious traditional food and quality Tuscan wines
- Shopping at the local atmospheric open market in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa
- Walks to local villages for coffee and freshly baked pastries
- Meeting and mingling with the locals
- Picture perfect scenery each day.
Buona Vacanza! I hope you can join us on this wonderful experience.
