Tuscany Travel Agent Expert

Imagine whisking your partner away on a romantic vacation to Tuscany, an Italian haven where verdant vineyards stretch under the golden sun, historic villas dot the rolling hillsides, and every moment is a brushstroke of la Dolce Vita.


Chianti: The Heartbeat of Wine Country. Begin your love story in the Chianti region, where each vineyard and cantina invites you for wine tastings and cellar tours. The region's roads, like winding ribbons through the countryside, are perfect for leisurely drives or Vespa rides, exploring medieval villages like Gaiole and Radda in Chianti. Conclude your day with a sunset picnic among the grapevines, toasting with a bottle of Chianti Classico. 


Siena: Stepping into the Past. Next, venture to the historic city of Siena, known for its Gothic architecture and the famous Palio horse race. Stroll hand in hand around Piazza del Campo, then climb the Torre del Mangia for breathtaking views. As evening falls, dine alfresco at a trattoria, enjoying traditional Tuscan dishes as the pastel skies deepen to a starry night.


Florence: A Renaissance Romance. In Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, art and history provide the backdrop to your love story. Wander through the Uffizi Gallery, marveling at works by Botticelli and Michelangelo, and cross the Ponte Vecchio lined with glittering jewelers. As dusk embraces the city, find a cozy corner.  Pienza and Val d'Orcia:


Head to Pienza, a quaint town in the Val d'Orcia, where Renaissance perfection meets pastoral bliss. Renowned for Pecorino cheese, Pienza offers delightful tastings alongside panoramic views of Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meander through fields of sunflowers, find secluded spots for moments of quiet connection, or take a dip in the thermal baths of Bagno Vignoni.


 Lucca: The Quiet Charmer. The walled city of Lucca holds a quiet charm with its cobblestone streets and elegant piazzas. Rent bicycles and ride atop the ancient walls, exploring hidden gardens and admiring the city from every vantage point. An evening concert in one of Lucca's historic churches offers a medley of classical music to serenade your night.


San Gimignano: The City of Towers. Visit San Gimignano, where medieval towers rise into the sky, giving it the nickname "Medieval Manhattan". The historic center, another UNESCO World Heritage site, is a jewel to explore and offers intimate dining spots where you enjoy a glass of famed Vernaccia wine.


Accommodations: Living the Dream. Retire each evening to a luxurious Tuscan farmhouse or a boutique hotel. Opt for an agriturismo stay, where authentic Tuscan living blends with the comfort of modern amenities, offering a romantic and peaceful retreat surrounded by the beauty of the Italian countryside.


In Tuscany, romance is found not just in the sweeping vistas or the history-steeped cities, but in every shared glance, every held hand, and every new memory forged together in this timeless Italian landscape.

Under the Tuscan Sun in Cortona

Cortona is a hilltop town overlooking the Val D'Orcia with its gently rolling hills, vineyards and Cypresses which Tuscany is famous for.

It was founded as an Etruscan town and there are still many signs of this heritage scattered throughout. Traffic is limited to residents only, but it's an...Read more.

Trip of a lifetime to South Africa!
I have wanted to go to South Africa for years, needed a Travel Specialist, and struck gold when I found Diana. She listened, made suggestions, and designed the trip with the perfect accommodation, restaurants, destinations, WONDERFUL driver etc. Her recommendations for sightseeing in Cape Town and beyond exceeded our expectations. The hotels were 5 star and the accommodation at a Private Game Reserve were outstanding! She even booked an amazing hotel in the middle of the wine region, surrounded by magnificent mountains and vineyards. Diana made herself available day and night in the planning and duration of our trip. Our comfort, safety and pleasure were of high priority in her planning, and I can't believe that anyone else could have done it better. Diana is above and beyond a miracle worker, and the absolute best!

Beautiful Portofino
On our way back from visiting family in Genoa, we decided to visit Portofino. Diana booked accommodation for us in La Spezia, and the following day we took the ferry to Portofino. What amazing views as we approached the town. We walked around for a bit and then per her suggestion had lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking the bay. This was one of our favorite stops on the Italian Riviera.

Live Nativity near Todi, Umbria
This was our first visit to Todi in Umbria over the holidays. What a beautiful part of Italy's Greenbelt, surrounded by endless green hills and hilltop towns and villages. Diana suggested that we attend the Live Nativity in Fratta Todina in early January. This was only a 20 minute drive from where we were staying. In Italy, January 5 is when they celebrate the 3 Kings bringing gifts to baby Jesus. The whole village from young to old is involved in the reenactment as they walk up the only main streets covered in cobblestones and with merchants on either side selling from roasted chestnuts, to food and paintings. Our children loved this experience and are still talking about it. Thank you again, Diana!
