Summary
If Tuscany has ever called your name, this is your chance to answer. For seven days, you’ll settle into a charming farmhouse in San Gimignano — your home for the week and your base for exploring the heart of central Italy. Wake up to vineyard views, stroll medieval streets, and soak up sunsets over rolling hills, all at a pace that feels truly local. With free days to embrace the countryside or head out on day trips to Florence, Siena, and Volterra, this isn’t just a visit — it’s living Tuscany, one unforgettable day at a time.
