In San Gimignano you'll sample the vibrant art and design of today's trend-setting artisans. Everywhere you'll have time for cafe sitting, relaxing in gardens, shopping, hiking and pursuing your special interests. We will meet your flight at the Florence airport and escort you to a classic small hotel on Via Tornabuoni, the heart of the city. For the first two days, we will enjoy Florence. Then we will travel to Panzano to our private home, for the next seven days, a very spacious, restored country villa with its terrace bordered by lemon trees in terracotta pots, multilevel, well-kept gardens and a swimming pool overlooking the valley.
Bedrooms are on the second floor.
Modern bathrooms are shared. We'll all take part in preparing some meals together and enjoy them on the terrace or in the dining room. Participants find these occasions very rewarding and a highlight of their stay. You really get a feel for how the average Italian lives and what is like to live there. Camaraderie A maximum of 14 guests will be accepted.
