Welcome
Why Spend Time With Us in – Italy Just For You?
Why “Italy Just for You”? As we travel, we find that after we have seen the “required” sights, we keep going back to what we love: a taste of the culture, the countryside, the towns we love the most, the people. If you are curious, or just started to plan for a trip to Italy, or want to follow up on your dream of going to Italy, you have come to the right place.
Simply, the wonder and beauty of Tuscany! And the towns of Monticchiello , Assisi, and Pienza!
Oh, let’s not forget Rome, Venice and Florence!
And Cruising the Mediterranean, both east and west from Rome. Ports we love: Portofino, Barcelona, Santorini, Mykonos, Palma de Mallorca, and many more.
Now that you have a taste of Italy and to some degree understand our passion, please join us as we explore together!

I hope you are excited, because there is more to do and to see!
Do you notice the town on the hill in the photo below? Are you not just itching to walk the streets, capture the views from the terraces, stop and have an incredible bite to eat, shop and just let yourself enjoy Pienza? Even though we have been there a few times we WILL ALWAYS return and visit Pienza.
After a while, we are finished with museums and churches. We want to relax and savor the people we meet, shop a little, take lots of photos, and always eat marvelous food. We plan trips “just for us”, and we hope we can help you do the same.

What do you really want to do? Do you want to see all the main sights? Do you want to learn to cook from Italian experts? Do you want to shop for the perfect souvenir? Do you want to record photos that can grace your home when you return? Do you want to interact with the culture, the people, and the food of Italy? Ask yourselves these questions and plan your trips accordingly.
We work to keep you informed of the ins and outs of Italy travel, where to stay, what to do and other topics that we have experienced. We will try to keep you updated with the latest posts.
People travel to Italy for the sights of the cities – Rome, Venice, Florence – but the lure of Italy that causes us to continue to return is the romantic wonder and beauty of the countryside of Tuscany.
Not only are the views impressive, as shown above, but the ‘cities on the hills’ are a treasure for shopping, taking pictures, dining at all times of the day and just walking and getting lost.
Carve out at least 3-4 days in your itinerary, rent a car and travel to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Pienza, Monticchiello, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Chianti, and many more that you can find as you move throughout Tuscany and the surrounding areas.
Look over the Florence / Tuscany Itinerary above! We have been there 5 times and can assist with your planning for any travel ideas. Our next scheduled trip is set for May or 2026 when we will be exploring our favorites, and we will set sail on a 11 day Celebrity cruise in the Mediterranean. We just cannot stay away!
While you experience the adventure in Tuscany, you also will never forget the sights, sounds, tastes, shopping and the culture of the ‘big 3’, Rome, Venice and Florence.
