There are many great MTB trails in all of Tuscany and we can organize a bike tour from every villa and every holiday home. Today  we organized a tour from Villa Roxana, let’s go!

Wine tasting in your villa!

Ideal for groups: a wine tasting ‘at home’ in your holiday villa. A professional sommelier tells about the history of Tuscan wines and the wine process during the wine tasting of local Tuscan wines and Italian wines. Tuscan appetisers such as salami, prosciutto and pecorina cheeses are served with the wines on the long table inside or on the terrace. No true Tuscan experience is complete without a wine tasting!
