HERE IS WHAT WE DO, WHERE, AND HOW:

In the heart of Chianti yet with Florence in sight, 20 years after we founded the Accidental Tourist

we still thoroughly enjoy sharing our tradition and appreciation for wine and authentic food,

adapting to your time budget, with our full-day and half-day tours.
Time, practice, experience (and curiosity!) have helped us perfect our hands-on cooking class 

to minimize gluten and carb content in our fresh pasta making class,

to create food that is just as delicious, but lighter, and healthier: so you can eat more!

Opening our home in Tuscany to our guests – with a special passion for families, solo travelers, couples –

has been our work and passion since 1998.

However our welcoming heritage has deeper roots than the Accidental Tourist:

Our home is a watchtower built is 1146, and has been in our family for 6 generations:

Michelangelo, Galileo, Rodolfo, Giovanni, Majla, Giotto.

During WWII, many strangers were sheltered, and lives were saved in these stone walls.

As heirs of this abode, we want to honor its vocation:

to welcome strangers, ’til they are no longer strangers.
