Valtiberina · Tuscany · Private weeks, March to October

Curated Tuscany
for the Few

The Tuscany most travellers never find, hosted by a sommelier who calls this valley home. A private week shaped around you, with every detail taken care of.

The Vision

A day
in the valley

The relais and its rose gardenGarden seating in the shade
Morning

A slow breakfast

Organic produce from the valley, coffee in the garden, and no rush.

A walled medieval town in evening light
Late morning

A town and its art

A medieval town, a masterpiece, and the people who keep its crafts alive.

Lunch

A new table

A different table every day, chosen for its cooking, not its fame.

Evening

From the glass to the table

La Degustazione with Olga flows gently into dinner, prepared by our chef.

Every week follows this rhythm. The towns, the tables and the wines are chosen for you.

What sets it apart

Three things
you won't find elsewhere

A host, not a guide

Olga, sommelier and resident of the valley, is with you from the first evening to the last.

Access, not tickets

The truffle hunter, the winemaker and the artisans are people Olga knows. You are welcomed as guests.

Understanding, not just tasting

Each evening Olga covers a different side of wine, and you leave with tasting notes written for you.

The Experiences

Moments that
make the week

Each week is composed from these moments, in the order and at the pace that suit you.

Renaissance art and medieval towns

Masterpieces in small towns, seen with a guide and without crowds.

Truffles in the forest

A morning with a hunter and his dogs, then lunch built around what you find.

La Degustazione (wine tasting)

Evenings with a sommelier at the relais to learn about wine, and a guided winery visit with tasting at a family estate.

Artisans and their crafts

Workshops where the same craft has passed through generations.

The Tuscan table

Breakfast made with organic produce from the valley, dinners by our chef at the relais, and lunches in restaurants chosen for their cooking.

Time to slow down

Free afternoons at the relais: a book in the garden, a walk in the countryside, or simply rest before the evening tasting.

Your full itinerary is designed with you and shared on request.

La Degustazione

Evenings that change
how you see wine

Each evening before dinner, two or three wines chosen by Olga, tasted together and understood. From the vineyard to the label, from pairing to bubbles and olive oil, every evening covers a different side of wine.

By the end of the week, you will choose a bottle with confidence, taste with intention, and speak with a sommelier as an equal.

“So many people love wine and drink it every day, yet keep choosing bottles that don't give them real pleasure. Not because they lack taste, but because nobody ever showed them how to tell the difference. That is why I built this week.”Olga
Something to take home

At the end of the week, every guest receives personal tasting notes, written by Olga for the wines you tasted together.

The valley and your home

Far from the crowds,
close to everything

The Tiber begins here as a stream. Piero della Francesca painted these hills, and Michelangelo was born among them. Family wineries, truffle forests and medieval towns, far from the crowds.

A historic country relais, reserved exclusively for your group. Restored with its original colours, materials and wooden beams. Spacious rooms that look over the countryside, a rose garden, a courtyard for evenings together, and a pool. Breakfast is made with organic produce from the valley.

Questions

Before you
write to us

Yes. Every week is a private departure built around you: 4, 5 or 7 nights, on your dates, for your party, with the experiences you love most.
Every detail from the moment you land in Florence: the relais reserved for your group, breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, wines, La Degustazione with Olga, all experiences and guided visits, and a private chauffeur throughout, including Florence airport. One price, with no extra bills at the end of your stay. International flights, travel insurance and personal purchases are not included.
If you have already seen Florence, Venice and Rome, and you would like to discover a less-known, authentic Tuscany without the crowds, this week is for you. The Valtiberina is one of the last corners of Tuscany still lived in the old way: medieval towns, Renaissance art, truffle forests and family wineries, far from the tourist circuit.

It is for people who love good food and wine and want to understand them better. Couples, families, groups of friends and solo travellers who want to slow down and travel well. You don't need to be a wine expert. You only need to be curious.
From March to October, on the dates you choose. We host a limited number of private weeks each season.
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergies are all planned with our chef and the restaurants we choose. Let us know when you enquire.
