Walking, discovering, and tasting: In the heart of Tuscany, through the lands of the Chianti region, we accompany you on daily excursions combined with original experiences to search for artistic, wine, gastronomic, and artisanal treasures. We walk to come into contact with this region’s nature: the hills, the streams, the woods, the trails through vineyards, and the wildest corners. We discover hidden gems: old farmhouses, parish churches, castles, and workshops where craftsmen create as they did once upon a time. We taste the fruits of this land: Chianti wines together with traditional dishes, but we also take in the scents of the flowers, the colors of the fields, and the sounds of every setting that we pass through. Each hike reveals an aspect of this land and combines outdoor activities with unique experiences to be enjoyed together, sharing every step, every taste, and every emotion.

Do you want to live a special and unique experience? Join our truffle hunt with Irene and her dog, Tep. Our authorized guide will guide you through the paths of the woods of Tuscany, telling you stories and legends related to the territory and the practice of truffle hunting. She will teach you to recognize the trees under which they grow, the ideal habitat for the growth of truffles, and how to cook and store them. The search will take time and patience, but when you will see Tep start wagging his tail and sniffing insistently near a bush or the root of a tree, sticking his nose in the ground deeper and deeper and digging, it will only mean one thing: the treasure has been discovered! And Tep will finally receive a greedy reward for the excellent work done. We can not know how many truffles Tep will be able to find, but one thing is sure: after a fun and tiring walk, you will return to the starting point, at our Villa, where you can also receive your well-deserved reward!
