In 2023, as the world of travel continues to evolve, the role of a local travel designer has become more crucial than ever. With the vast array of options available, travelers are seeking personalized experiences that go beyond the ordinary. This is where a local travel designer steps in, transforming a trip into a unique and memorable journey.

Why Choose a Local Travel Designer?

1. **Insider Knowledge:** Local travel designers possess an intimate understanding of their region, offering insights that go beyond guidebooks. They know the hidden gems, the best times to visit popular attractions, and the authentic experiences that truly capture the essence of a place.

2. **Personalized Itineraries:** Every traveler is unique, and a local travel designer crafts itineraries tailored to individual preferences and interests. Whether it's a culinary adventure, a cultural exploration, or a relaxing retreat, they ensure every detail aligns with your desires.

3. **Access to Exclusive Experiences:** With established connections and relationships, local travel designers can offer access to exclusive experiences that are often unavailable to the general public. From private vineyard tours to intimate cooking classes with local chefs, these experiences create lasting memories.

4. **Stress-Free Planning:** Navigating the logistics of travel can be overwhelming. A local travel designer handles all the details, from accommodations and transportation to reservations and special requests, allowing you to focus on enjoying your journey.

5. **Support and Flexibility:** Travel plans can change, and having a local expert on hand provides peace of mind. They offer support and flexibility, ensuring your trip runs smoothly, even when unexpected situations arise.

As we navigate the challenges of 2021, the healing power of nature has never been more apparent. In the heart of Tuscany, the rolling hills and lush vineyards offer a sanctuary for those seeking to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. 

The Healing Touch of Nature

Outdoor experiences like hiking, trekking, and walking through the vineyards or countryside provide a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The simple act of immersing oneself in nature can reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance overall well-being. Tuscany's breathtaking landscapes serve as the perfect backdrop for these restorative activities.

A Journey Through Tuscany's Countryside

Imagine wandering through the sun-dappled vineyards, where the air is filled with the scent of wildflowers and fresh earth. Each step on the winding trails brings you closer to the heart of Tuscany, where time seems to slow down, and the beauty of the natural world takes center stage. Whether you're trekking through the verdant hills or strolling along ancient paths, the experience is both grounding and invigorating.

Embrace the Regenerative Virtues

The regenerative virtues of outdoor activities extend beyond physical health. They offer a chance to reconnect with oneself and the environment, fostering a sense of peace and clarity. In Tuscany, the harmonious blend of nature and culture creates an unparalleled setting for personal reflection and growth.

Plan Your Escape

As we continue to adapt to the new normal, consider embracing the regenerative power of Tuscany's outdoors. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, the Tuscan countryside offers a wealth of experiences to nourish the soul.

A great bike season

This strange Summer and Autumn let our guests live their holiday time in a more relaxed and thoughtful mode. As in the past the most loved private tour we used to organize was related mainly with wine and food, this year private bike tour hit the top of the list. 

Our local guides structured several new itineraries for various levels of preparation and with road bikes, mountain bikes or e-bikes to add them at our portfolio of tested bike tour paths, adding innovative and memorable food stops to recharge the batteries a bit and a lot of  surprises. 

Bike in Tuscany can be relaxing, riding through sunflowers fields or vineyards, around lake coasts or seaside, more challenging if you prefer to face up to the rolling hills or surprisingly amazing if you decide to explore the mountain part. 

As you may understand, we have a lot of possibility when planning a guided private bike tour for your family or party and we're pretty sure that we can craft the best itinerary you may have while here. 

Feel free to ask us for some ideas and a quote and start dreaming to feel the wind on your face ->

Make the most of your #stayathome time

3/23/2020

In this difficult time, we are encouraged to spend time at home and practicing social distancing. Travels and trips need to have a stop for a while and even our daily routines have suddenly changed. Some of us may decide to spend this stay at home time to recreate the magic atmosphere enjoyed during a past vacation looking at the pictures or at the videos, some may wants to search for their next destination while others could rely on food for a multi sensorial reminder of a happy time. Food is evocative, tells a story and can recall forgotten emotions. Preparing it, is both challenging and relaxing.  In Italy we like to make home made pasta, our primary comfort food! 
Here's the tagliatelle fresh pasta  traditional recipe that you can learn to make during one of our cooking classes and can easily reproduce at home:


Tagliatelle (homemade pasta) - for 6/8 persons 
Ingredients:
6 whole eggs
ca. 800 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil


Make it up a sort of flour mountain and create a hole in the middle. Break the eggs putting them in the hole and mix with flour and olive oil by using a fork. Mix all ingredients and roll out the dough into a thin layer. Leave the dough resting for 10 minutes and cut the pasta into Tagliatelle when the dough is a bit dry.

and as a bonus 
our Traditional recipe of Tuscan Ragù sauce


Meat Ragù

Finely chop onion, celery, carrot and parsley and a garlic head and put into large pot with plentiful olive oil. When the mixture is golden, add the minced meat (usually veal and pork)  stirring for ca. 20 minutes over low heat until meat is brown and all water evaporated. Add a glass of a good Tuscan red wine and let evaporate.
Add some rosemary, sage, laurel if you like. 
Then add
 2 bottle of tomato sauce, salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
Let it simmer over low heat for ca. 2.5-3 hours adding now and then some warm water.


Enjoy your Tuscan dinner and think about all the beautiful days to come!

October is the favorite moment for food and wine passionates to indulge in Tuscan delights. Sharing pleasures of the tables and of the glass with family or friends without worrying about creating the itinerary, do the bookings (sometimes with some lost in translations situations!) inform everyone and drive is a real relief! See the relaxed faces :-)
