We had a great time and Alberto is great! The boutique hotel he booked for us was amazing! He is very personable, knowledgeable, and flexible if plans need to change. On our last day, it rained so instead he arranged a cooking class for us. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because we thought it was more of a wine tasting and bike tour than it was. We only went to 1 vineyard in 3 days, and biked a very minimal amount of time. I was expecting a lot more of both. The spa/hot springs could be missed as it was very dirty and the water was not as hot as we would have liked. I think that should be removed from the itinerary and more biking and wine tasting should be added.

Questa è la seconda esperienza che faccio grazie a Tuscany Quintessence e, anche questa volta – come per Yoga e barca a vela – ne sono rimasta soddisfatta. Viaggiare con loro sta diventando una sorta di porto sicuro. Di cosa sono sicura? Che le scelte degli organizzatori sono pensate nei dettagli per ricordarti come si fa a stare bene: l’alloggio immerso nel verde (a volte nel blu), confortevole e accogliente; il cibo sempre buonissimo, curato, sfizioso, mai scontato. I luoghi che si visitano sono belli, immersi nella natura e, a tratti, si potrebbe dire “magici”. Anche perché con te viaggiano persone che non conosci, ma che in poco tempo ti sembrerà di conoscere da una vita, e che poi sarà difficile salutare. La pratica Yoga non è solo una pratica, è condivisione, tra l’altro sto giro svolta in una sala particolare. Le grotte sono molto suggestive e il luogo in cui ci si ferma a mangiare è gestito da una coppia che si ama tantissimo da più di una vita. Si ha davvero la sensazione durante il viaggio di essere immersi in un cammino che offre doni e opportunità, gioia. E l’eremo, infine, aveva un non so che di templare che mi ha profondamente affascinata. This was my second experience with Tuscany Quintessence, and once again – just like with Yoga and Sailing – I was satisfied. Traveling with them is becoming a kind of safe harbor. What am I sure about? That the organizers’ choices are carefully thought through to remind you how to truly feel well: accommodations immersed in greenery (sometimes in blue), comfortable and welcoming; food that is always delicious, carefully prepared, creative, and never predictable. The places you visit are beautiful, surrounded by nature and, at times, could be described as “magical.” This is also because you travel alongside people you don’t know at first, but who soon feel like lifelong companions and become hard to say goodbye to. The yoga practice is not just a practice, it is a moment of sharing—this time held in a particularly special space. The caves are very evocative, and the place where you stop to eat is run by a couple who have loved each other deeply for a lifetime. Throughout the journey, there is a real sense of being immersed in a path that offers gifts, opportunities, and joy. And finally, the hermitage had a certain Templar-like atmosphere that deeply fascinated me.
