Ten unhurried days between the hills and the city.
You said the last trip felt like packing every second morning. So this is three bases in ten days, and a full week where you don't move at all.
Private transfer from Peretola. The afternoon is yours — the hotel is four minutes from the Duomo.
TransferCheck-inA private guide at 8.30, before the doors open to everyone else. Out by noon, lunch at Cibrèo.
Private guide · 3hThe workshops side of the river. Leather, paper, and the view from Piazzale Michelangelo at dusk.
WalkingCollect the car at ten. Ninety minutes of the road you came for, then five nights that ask nothing of you.
Drive · 1h 30mTwo hill towns, one long lunch, and a cellar visit at four.
Wine · 2hCooking with Nonna Rosa in the morning. Dinner is whatever she decided that day.
Cooking · 3hThermal pools, a slow lunch, and the abbey at Sant'Antimo for vespers.
SpaDeliberately empty. This is the day you asked for.
UnscheduledThe train from Chiusi. Afternoon at the Borghese, tickets already held.
Train · 1h 40mBorgheseMorning free. Dinner booked for eight — the table by the window you asked about.
Dinner 8pmFive nights. This is the decision that shapes the week.
Farmhouse, six rooms, working vineyard. Ten minutes from Pienza.
Simple rooms — the setting does the work.
A restored village. Twelve rooms, one long table, a valley that goes on.
What you described when you said "somewhere that feels like a place, not a hotel."
Eleventh-century castle, seven suites, two pools cut into the hillside.
Genuinely spectacular. Worth it if the anniversary matters more than the number.
You'll choose between these when you accept — no need to decide now.
Sixteen years arranging Italy. I lived in Florence for four of them and still go back three times a year. I work with about forty families a year, which is deliberate.
"She talked us out of two things we thought we wanted, and she was right about both."
"The proposal arrived and my wife just said "yes, that one." We'd had three others."
I strongly recommend comprehensive cover including cancellation and medical. You'll be asked to confirm either way when you accept, and I keep a record of your answer.
