FAQ — Please Read Before Booking

This experience is based around the places and events you’ve seen in our Tuscan Diaries videos. We’ve created this week for our viewers to enjoy alongside us. Before booking, please read the following carefully to be sure this experience is the right fit for you:

Who is this week for?

We welcome curious, open-minded travellers who want to share in our daily lives in Tuscany. The emphasis is on connection, community, and experiencing the local way of life rather than rushing from one tourist attraction to the next.

Fitness & Mobility

A certain level of fitness is required. Our itinerary includes long walks through countryside, hill towns and historic streets, often on uneven or cobbled ground. If you are unable to comfortably walk for around an hour at a time, this can significantly affect the activities we have planned and may require changes to the itinerary for the entire group. We want to make sure the experience is enjoyable and manageable for everyone, so please consider this carefully before applying.

Group Size & Atmosphere

Each week is limited to 8 guests. We hope friendships and connections will naturally form, as much of the week is shared — meals, excursions, and conversations. If you prefer solitude and do not enjoy group settings, this may not be the right experience.

If you are a solo traveller you may have to share an apartment with another guest.

Age & Children

This experience is designed for adults only. Unfortunately, we cannot accomodate children.
