June 15 – September 28, 2024

A tour in Tuscany with a stay at Villa Bonizella is a unique experience. From the moment you land in Florence to the day of your departure, you will not have to think or worry about anything. With this tour, you have the opportunity to choose among different options to visit what you like best among famous cities, museums and sites or less known towns and villages, wineries and experiences. Your hosts are Italians who have lived for over 25 years in the United States, a family with an aristocratic background and local history that unlocks access to exclusive places closed to the general public.  The offer includes transportation (including to/from Florence airport) to all events, daily breakfast and several lunches and dinners at the Villa, housekeeping, daily guided tours. 

The Villa combines modern comforts (AC, swimming pool, high speed internet, rooms and bathrooms with up-to-date features) with the charm of a centuries-old European mansion decorated with original antique furniture. The 150 acre property, setback more than a mile from the nearest road, includes acres of olive trees, an extensive vegetable garden, and several hiking paths. 

The villa is conveniently located near Florence, Siena, Pienza, San Gimignano, the Val d’Orcia, Montalcino and the Chianti Classico wineries.
