For no less than 7 nights, you\u2019ll get to experience a Tuscan farmhouse villa complete with your own single, double, or triple bedroom apartment and a luxurious pool that can be enjoyed throughout your trip. Our Taste of Tuscany tour is by far one of our most popular, with our guests frequently commenting on just how far the experience surpassed their expectations.<\/p>

With a first-hand look at some of the most vibrant and traditional locations in Tuscany, from Cortona to Siena, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to indulge in the finest wines, partake of the local cuisine and even stimulate your culinary skills with a 4 course cooking lesson.<\/p>

For fans of bareback horseracing, you\u2019ll be pleased to hear that you can see where the famous Il Palio race takes place in the iconic Piazza del Campo. We\u2019ll also be exploring the fabled town of San Gimignano which produces the exemplary white wine known as Vernaccia. Your tour will also take you into the heart of Chianti\u2019s countryside, where you\u2019ll get up-close and personal with vineyards and olive groves.<\/p>

This tour is guaranteed to satisfy your senses in many ways; with exhilaratingly authentic tastes from the region, right through to the stunning sights found throughout.<\/p>

You\u2019ll get to ingratiate yourself with the local artisans and craftsmen and women, visit a host of vineyards, taste fine food and wine, explore captivating locations and villages that date back to the medieval period \u2013 and perhaps most importantly of all; feel like a local and not a visitor.<\/p>

All of this and more can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own villa, with a leisurely pace to your tours and options to book between the 28th of March through to the 24th of October. As new tours commence every Saturday, you can ensure that you get a full week of enjoyment \u2013 suitable for adults of all ages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Il Mandorlo is a rural house dating back to the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0Century which has been restored in keeping with its original shape and materials. It is located in the valley \u2018Val di Chiana\u2019 nearby the historical centre of Cortona.<\/p>

      The house is divided into five apartments with all modern facilities including air conditioning and WI-FI. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the infinity swimming pool provides a panoramic view of the historical centre of Cortona and surrounding valley.<\/p>

      Set in a quiet location but close enough to the main roads which connect to all the well-known historical cities and villages.<\/p>

      It is an image of rolling hills, vineyards, age-old trees, golden wheat in Spring, Sunflowers in Summer and the constantly changing shades of the earth.<\/p>

      Accommodation is subject to availability at time of booking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
