I couldn’t recommend this business highly enough. Three of us from Britain travelled to Tuscany last week on a much anticipated cycling trip. Simona and Alessio’s service couldn’t have been any more charming and helpful. They were always on hand to help us with whatever we needed. Last minute changes to equipment or meeting arrangements were sorted with ease. I had an accident on the road on the penultimate day of the trip. The shooting pain in my neck was nothing in comparison to my guilt about damaging the seat and back wheel of my bike. I needn’t have worried. They both couldn’t have been more understanding and, luckily, no major damage was done to the wheel. Alessio even sent the video evidence of a free moving wheel later the very same evening of our departure! Amazing service!

When the Italian culinary traditions meet the sounds of the best Arias of Italian Opera in a beautiful location and exclusive event. Much more than a cooking class, this is a multi-dimensional experience. “Opera in The Kitchen” grew out of a childhood memory spent in the open air. The smell of freshly cut herbs, a passion for traditional cooking, and a blissful atmosphere of the melodies of Italian Opera.
Opera in the Kitchen was the highlight of our 2-week Italian adventure. Lucrezia was a gracious hostess and fabulous teacher. The setting embraces the true essence of Tuscany, the food was delicious, the sunset stunning, and the opera was enchanting. Thank you for a perfect evening! #operainthekitchen

Principe Corsini Estate stretches out over a hillside covered with vineyards, olive trees and woodland. It is set in the very heart of Chianti on the main road from Florence to Siena, only 16 km south of Florence. The Renaissance Villa stands on the highest hill in the very centre of the estate. The Italian garden overlooking the valley and the vast fourteenth century wine cellars and oil jar-storage complete the picturesque scenario. GUIDED TOURS AND WINE TASTING: we organize guided tours of the cellars, the oil mill and the "orciaia" with explanatory tours of the winemaking techniques and olive pressing. The tours ends with a tasting of the organic wines and olive oil.
Fantastic experience! Winery,staff, food and wine were all outstanding. We spent an afternoon, highly recommend.

This place is unmissable. You must try it and ask for Claudio he is a brilliant host that will take care of all your requests! Oh and ask for the super special wines by the glass if they have them that day.

Steeped in history: the thick stone walls and cellars, and the vineyards and landscape beyond were home to Niccolò Machiavelli during his troubled, creative exile from Florence. He would eat and play cards every day at the Albergaccio inn, and at night, in the library, he would read the classics that inspired his rapid drafting of The Prince. Beautifully restored, it has preserved the rustic, elegant cuisine of the Tuscan Renaissance with a wine-making tradition of the highest calibre.
Niccolò Machiavelli is a highly important figure both for the Italian history and for the Florence. This is one of the most non-mainstream museums with rich history. My guide was an amazing woman who was in love with Machiavelli and showed me the whole house with its secret and hidden places — the excursion was full of interesting and historic facts which gave a full understanding of Niccoló's life here. Garden is just a piece of art, and I could look at vineyards for years. P. S. You HAVE to visit the restaurant, it's a must-have. You'll be amazed with this traditional Tuscany meals. Even if you're a vegetarian (I am), you can still find yummy meals. P. S. 2. As an illustrator, I will definitely go back and try to capture a sunset. It's a magical place. Note: the bus system is WEIRD. When you're taking a bus to Saint Andrea in Percussina station, tell the driver that you need the Machiavelli Villa exactly. Also you can not buy tickets in Santa Maria Novella train station, the bus stop is about 10 minutes walk from it. Once you find yourself in Saint Andrea, look for Villa's sign — they're quite big — and get off the bus just on the opposite side. Remember, that buses here do not go every half an hour and there's a certain schedule, different for different days.
