Not only art and culture. Visiting the large and small historical centres is certainly the main element of a trip to Italy, or at least the most obvious.

From scenic countryside escapes to curated day itineraries, our collection of Tuscany experiences is designed for guests seeking beauty, authenticity, and a deeper connection with the region.
Among the most unforgettable things to do in Tuscany are the outdoor adventures that reveal the landscape from a different perspective.

If you aren’t up to driving but still want to experience and learn about different wines, if you’re new to the wine world or if you are a connoisseur and have a particular interest that you want to explore, we will call in a wine expert (or even a producer) to guide you through a tasting of a selection of wines that we will determine together based on your interests.
All of this will be tailored into a fun, informal event for you and your travel companions to be hosted at the Granaio, outdoors or at the house you are renting. The tasting will be accompanied with local charcuterie, cheeses, breads – or more, and can be joined with a full fledged meal and wine pairing experience.
There are many lovely trails around Camporsevoli to hike alone or with our guidance.

We are also available to organize a more elaborate guided hike complete with a picnic lunch.

The visit will end with a drink, be it a cup of coffee or a chilled glass of white wine according to the time of the day!
Watercolor, clay modelling, drawing: these are just some forms of art for which we can arrange daily (or longer period) classes.
All will be planned according to the ages of those involved, their degree of technique and previous experiences – if any!

We host a variety of cooking classes, and have a specific expertise in this, for all ages and experience levels.
