Visiting the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list.

The best way to experience the Italian countryside is by staying in a private villa, where you can embrace the quiet and peacefulness of this part of the world. Of course, you will want to do some exploration. Here is a suggested guide on how to make the most of your trip to Tuscany.

Day One: Arrive in an Italian Paradise

Refresh after your travels in a luxurious private villa, where you can indulge in light snacks and find numerous cozy spaces to unwind and take a well-deserved nap. Take a leisurely stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds of your villa, allowing yourself to stretch your legs and soak in the tranquil surroundings, preparing yourself for the exciting adventures that lie ahead.

Day Two: Dig into a True Italian Meal

You could go to amazing restaurants the entire time you’re in Tuscany—and you will certainly have your fill of curated Italian meals that you will never find in restaurants back home. However, if you’re looking to enhance your culinary experience and truly immerse yourself in the local culture, why not consider taking a private cooking class? By doing so, you’ll not only have the opportunity to learn how to prepare authentic Italian dishes, but you’ll also gain valuable insights into the traditional techniques and ingredients used in Tuscan cuisine. Imagine the satisfaction of rolling out fresh pasta dough or crafting the perfect filling for ravioli, all under the guidance of a skilled chef. And the best part? You get to enjoy the fruits of your labor at the end of the class, savoring your homemade creations alongside a perfectly paired glass of chianti. It’s an experience that will not only tantalize your taste buds but also leave you with a newfound appreciation for the art of Italian cooking. So why settle for just dining out when you can take your culinary journey to the next level?

Day Three: See what the Neighborhood is Like 

Italian cities and towns all center around the main piazza, where you can find delectable food and bars, and quaint coffee shops. You can sit outside and people watch for hours as other tourists explore the town and locals go about their days. Italian cities are deeply rooted in history and you will feel the magic while being inside them.

Day Four: See the Famous Tuscany Wineries

Tuscany is the main wine-growing region of Italy. For more than 3,000 years, vines have been grown here and grapes have been aged into wine. You can find half-or full-day private wine tours that not only take you through the history of Italian wine but also let you sample your fair share. You can ask your host from the villa where they recommend going and where you can find a good lunch to take a breather.

Day Five: Take a Trip to Florence 

Florence is the capital city of Tuscany and is magnificent to see for yourself. You can easily take a train that will put you close to the main piazza. There is plenty to see in this medieval city. Some of the top attractions include the Duomo and Giotto’s Campanile, Palazzo Vecchio, and Uffizi Palace and Gallery. And be sure to walk across the bridge Ponte Vecchio to pick up a luxury souvenir.
