TUSCANY HOMEBASE: AGES 0+
Trip Length: 6 days/5 nights
Start/Finish: Florence/Florence
It’s a dream come true. Instead of awaking in your usual
surroundings, you and your favourite flock of travel companions
slip into a six-day stay under the Tuscan sun. In this
dreamscape the role of home will be played by a 15thC villa
nestled among vineyards and olive groves. Here in Italy’s
glorious countryside, the role of Rocky Road will be played by
homemade gelato while actual roads offer the antithesis of rush
hour. On two wheels, you’ll travel along cypress-lined streets
winding past family farms and peaceful hilltop villages. Gliding
into a local trattorie to grab a bite for lunch, don’t be
surprised if you feel like you’ve lived here forever. Trip
Highlights:
- Visit the beautiful hill town of Cortona and understand
why Frances Mayes fell in love with it
- Master the art of pizza making using our villa’s
original wood oven
- Prowl the medieval streets of Siena, home of the famed
Palio horse race
- Pedal along gently rolling hills where much of The
English Patient was filmed
- Feast with our local good friends, who redefine the
“family picnic” forever
- Sample everything from the vino ṇbile to Super Tuscans
at a stunning wine estate
- Watch your kids discover the joy of travel through
playing with clay, making dessert, throwing flags and
exploring Cortona during a fun scavenger hunt

CasaBianca, Crete Senesi
The CasaBianca, an elegant 15thC villa hotel overlooking the
rolling farms of the Crete Senesi, is one of the highlights of
our time in Tuscany. Our gracious hosts, Alba & Luigi Scaperotta,
produce their own wine and olive oil, and give us a pizza-making
demo using the villa’s original wood-burning oven.
