TuscanWay.com: La Via De Sensi...
Villa Rentals, Cooking Courses & Tours in Tuscany...

Guests visiting Tuscany with Tuscan Way's culinary and wine program are thrilled with their experiences. Tuscan Way's small personal approach makes for a unique experience. Guests really appreciate and treasure. For example, a recent female guest traveling solo made a special request to visit Casa Innocenti in Arcidosso during New Year's Eve week.

She writes: "I had a wonderful time…It snowed quite a lot…Carlo and Pascale were the perfect hosts. Pascale & I bonded well and I found her to be a kindred spirit… we had a lot of fun and excellent conversation on our excursions. I hope to stay in contact. Carlo's adventures in the kitchen were truly memorable!"

Groups of up to 8 people are accepted and groups of family members or friends are especially welcome!

Villa Poggiarello
Federica & Romeo Innocenti’s Cooking Course Vacation at Villa Poggiarello:

Villa Poggiarello and the village of Roccastrada evoke the quintessential and exquisite spirit of beautiful Tuscany. The vineyards, the rolling hills, the near-bye seaside and the spectacular villa provide a stunning atmosphere rich with glorious views and warm feeling. The climate here is very temperate and there is a constant aroma of sagebrush and this permeates the air of this region known as La Maremma. Here, you can enjoy hands-on cooking classes of the much acclaimed Cucina Povera Toscana (the traditional Tuscan peasant cooking), taught by Romeo Innocenti. You will enjoy tasting the celebrated Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino as well as the Nobile di Montepulciano, and guided tours of medieval villages and towns around this area of Southern Tuscany.

We invite you to experience Villa Gaia located in the largely undiscovered, charming towns of our Tuscan region, south of Siena. Many Italians consider this area to be one of the most splendid Italian regions because of its ancient villages and stunning landscapes.
Best of all, it has always been a bit off the beaten path and has not been exploited by tourism.As our guest,we’ll take you to visit the little towns of the Monte Amiata and Val d’Orcia areas, where cultural heritage is remarkably preserved.These are far away from places like downtown Rome and Florence,which, while beautiful, are heavily visited by tourists. Join us for the cultural Tuscan experience we offer and the secrets of the enchanting country estate...Villa Gaia! And keep in mind – our program is for everyone interested, whether or not you can boil water for pasta.
