Tuscan Villa for Six
This amazing villa is nestled between the hill towns of Cortona and Montepulciano. Cortona is positioned between Arezzo, Perugia, Florence, and Siena, and sits right between the Chianti region and Umbrian valleys, which make it a strategic spot for anyone who wants to experience the heart of Italy by taking brief and relaxing day trips to nearby areas. Montepulciano is one of the only places in the world where there are ancient underground cellars dating back to Etruscan times right in the heart of the town. It is not only the famous wine that makes Montepulciano special but also the medieval atmosphere and friendly people.
Package includes a 7 night stay in a lovely Villa for 6 people. Relax as you will have daily breakfast prepared and daily maid service! You will also experience one cheese making class with lunch on the farm.
Airfare and ground transportation not included, booking by February 28, 2017, and travel by February 28, 2018. Minimum Bid: $6,000.00
