Celebrating a special birthday or anniversary is a perfect opportunity to gather family and friends together for a visit to Tuscany and Umbria. You will need to find the perfect accommodation that suits all members of the group from the youngest to the oldest. If all members of the group are around the same age, then a large villa with pool that sleeps everyone is the best arrangement, but if you have a mixture of ages, couples, singles and families, then a hamlet where each can have their own villa or apartment whilst still being at the same location as everyone else is usually the best way to go.
At each of the properties suggested below we can help you with information
on private chefs, wine tastings and even live music.
