For 1818 Society
Week 1 (August 31 – September 7, 2024), or Week 2* (September 7 – 14, 2024)
Offered by Villa Bonizella Tours
To enjoy this tour, you need basic mobility skills, as it includes daily walks, and the bedrooms are located on the first (European) floor – you need to walk up one ramp of stairs.
Our Best of Tuscany Tour with a stay at Villa Bonizella is a unique experience. From the moment you land in Florence to the day of your departure, you will not have to worry about anything. Through our carefully crafted, eight-day program, you will experience the best of the culture, art, wine, cuisine, architecture, and beauty of Tuscany. Your hosts are Italians, members of the 1818 Society, who have lived for over 25 years in the United States, a family with an aristocratic background and local history that unlocks access to exclusive places not available to the general public. The offer includes transportation (including to/from Florence airport) to all events, daily breakfast, several lunches and dinners at the Villa, daily housekeeping, guided tours, wine tastings, a cooking class, tickets for museums, castles, palaces and other attractions.
The Villa combines modern comforts (AC, swimming pool, high speed internet, rooms and bathrooms with up-to-date features) with the charm of a centuries-old European mansion decorated with original antique furniture. The 150-acre property, setback more than a mile from the nearest road, includes acres of olive trees, a vegetable garden, and several hiking paths.
The villa is conveniently located near Florence, Siena, Pienza, San Gimignano, the Val d’Orcia, Montalcino and the Chianti Classico wineries.
