Day 1 Settling into Pistoia!

The adventure begins as all guests arrive at Florence Airport in the afternoon, where a private bus transfer awaits to whisk us away to our stunning Tuscan villa in the Province of Pistoia. We will have exclusivity at this 13 bedroom Italian style Villa with our own pool! The scenic 30-minute drive provides a first glimpse of the rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and golden countryside that define the region. Upon arrival, we will enjoy an early check-in, allowing time to settle in and soak up the tranquil surroundings.
As the sun sets, our group gathers for a private wine tasting at the villa, hosted by The Wine Club, Italy, offering a curated selection of local vintages and expert insights into Tuscan winemaking traditions. The evening concludes with a light, welcoming dinner, easing us into the rhythms of Italian hospitality—unhurried, indulgent, and unforgettable.
