In Florence we meet for a fun afternoon exploration before settling into our villa-turned-hotel in Chianti (6 nights). Every day, there’s something interesting for everyone. The kids get their hands dirty, crafting terra cotta pots by hand. We’ll step back in time with a very cool visit to San Gimignano. In the Chianti hills, the adults end a vineyard walk with a home-cooked lunch at Castello della Paneretta (while we entertain the kids).

A day’s excursion to Lucca includes a bike ride they’ll never stop talking about…and time for you to go shopping. Later see who can hold up the leaning tower of Pisa. Whether we’re tossing pizza dough…retracing the wild Palio race through the streets of Siena…or inviting the adults to a wine-tasting while the kids are gelato-tasting just as seriously, every day is different and special until we part company back in Florence.
