Spend 7 nights in a beautiful villa set amidst the lush countryside of Tuscany, indulging in upscale amenities and excellent services. With an Italian chef, take part in 5 cooking sessions to create delicious dishes that are worth bragging back home. You are also entitled to a visit of a local winery for a private tasting session to experience the exquisite wines of the region. For a deeper understanding of the Italian culture and traditions, hop on a minibus and embark to the medieval cities of Siena and Arezzo, where centuries-old cathedrals and buildings await you. Top off the experience by dining at a trattoria, a traditional Italian-style eating establishment, and in another local restaurant that serves delectable Italian favourites.
