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.

Delightful surprise!
Spoleto was a delightful surprise! We loved exploring its medieval streets and visiting landmarks like the Rocca Albornoziana and the Ponte delle Torri. The views were incredible, and the local food—especially the truffle pasta—was delicious. Spoleto’s peaceful atmosphere and rich history made it the perfect getaway. We can’t wait to return!

The hidden gem of Gubbio
Our visit to Gubbio was like stepping into a fairytale. This medieval town, with its cobblestone streets, towering stone buildings, and breathtaking views, felt like a place untouched by time. The Palazzo dei Consoli was a standout, and the funicular ride to Mount Ingino was the perfect way to take in the amazing views of the surrounding countryside. It was so peaceful here—far from the crowds of larger cities—that we truly felt like we were experiencing the “real” Italy. We had lunch in a charming trattoria, where we sampled delicious local specialties like truffle dishes and savory stews. The town has a relaxed, authentic vibe. We can’t wait to return to this hidden gem. Alice Barnard, Atlanta, GA

Perfect honeymoon in Venice
Venice was everything we hoped for and more—it truly felt like stepping into a dream. From the moment we arrived, the charm of the canals and the beauty of the architecture set the stage for an unforgettable romantic getaway. Our gondola ride through the quiet canals at sunset was magical. The soft glow of the setting sun reflecting off the water and the gentle breeze made it feel like time stood still. We also enjoyed a private tour of St. Mark’s Basilica, where our guide shared fascinating stories about the mosaics and the history of the church, making it even more special. Venice’s winding streets are perfect for exploring hand-in-hand. We spent hours getting lost in the quiet alleys, discovering hidden cafés, and sharing a delicious gelato by the Grand Canal. Dining in Venice was an experience in itself—eating fresh seafood at a canal-side restaurant while watching the boats drift by was pure bliss. Diana made the planning easy, recommending a beautiful boutique hotel overlookin

Dream destination for solo travelers
"Florence is a dream destination for solo travelers. Every street feels like it has a story to tell, and wandering without a strict itinerary was the best part of my trip. I loved stumbling upon hidden churches, small galleries, and cozy trattorias where I could savor authentic Tuscan dishes. Joining a small group walking tour gave me the chance to learn about Florence's fascinating history and meet other travelers. The Duomo climb was a personal highlight—reaching the top and seeing the city stretch out beneath me felt like a true accomplishment. Even dining solo was a pleasure; the locals were warm and welcoming, often striking up conversations. My favorite moment was sitting by the Arno River at sunset, watching the city light up. Florence truly embraced me, and I can’t wait to return." – Megan L., Seattle, WA
