Travel
Item Description
Enjoy a 7-night stay in a private villa for up to 4 people in Tuscany (Cortona, Italy), daily chef-prepared breakfast, truffle hunting, tasting and lunch with daily maid service. The sun-soaked hill town of Cortona, made famous in the novel and movie Under the Tuscan Sun, is rich with historic churches, 16th-century farmhouses, and atmospheric enoteche serving famously tasty wines, and homemade pasta.
The 2-bedroom, 3-bath villa is surrounded by olive groves and overlooks the peaceful valley of Valdichiana. The outdoor terrace offers beautiful views, and the garden and private swimming pool allow guests to relax under the Tuscan sun. Maintaining many of its authentic original features amenities include, air conditioning, heating, WIFI access, satellite TV, daily maid service, and a washing machine.
Participate in a unique and fun experience to learn about the seduction of truffles, and join expert hunters with their trained dogs who will show you how to find and dig up truffles. After, you will visit a small truffle museum at a local farm and learn how to use and preserve the precious produce. Savor a marvelous 4-course lunch with local truffle-based dishes and delicious wines all prepared and served by the farmhouse owner.
Between the truffle hunt, museum visit and lunch, plan to spend a half-day enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime adventure for your party of up to four. The peak truffle hunting season is March to November, but since this is a natural reserve, there is ample harvest year-round. If you prefer, an alternative experience or tour can be substituted, such as walking or biking tours, cheese making with tastings, or cooking classes.
Item Special Note
Note: This package is for a Saturday-Saturday stay for up to four people; upgrades to a larger villa may be available for a fee if you wish to bring additional guests. Airfare not included.
