You can choose from several menus, all typical Tuscan!! kitchen is cleaned up for you after which is nice too!

Trips further afield: Maybe some of you would like to explore more distant places
We can organize day trips or half day excursions to places like Chianti Wine Tour, Rome, Siena, Venice and the Cinque Terre (to name but a few).
With special permits enabling our drivers to go directly into the Historical city centres and often right up to the main monuments and places of interest, means you can concentrate your time enjoying the sights without the hassle of parking, traffic and endless walking.
Another advantage is for the Chianti wine tour; noone has to te-total for driving so you can ALL enjoy the wine!
