La Bella Vita-Tuscany Wine Tour and Villa Swim

from € 84.00

Visit a magnificent Tuscany Villa, enjoy a wine tasting, cellar visit and gourmet lunch then laze away beside a private pool with stunning views of Tuscany!

We are the only company in Italy offering this kind of day tour experience!

See stunning views of the Tuscany countryside, have a wine tasting of superb wines, a cellar visit and gourmet lunch. Relax poolside, take a swim or stroll through the estate's magnificent gardens of the spectacular private Renaissance Villa close to Florence.

This Tuscany wine tour, lunch and Villa swim truly captures the spirit of La Bella Vita!

This tour is ideal for those that want to experience La Bella Vita for a few hours. Not many hotels in and around Florence have pools, so what better way to get out of Florence and into the fresh air of the beautiful Tuscany countryside?

Fantastic

My boyfriend and I took the original Florence walking tour, and I have to say it was the best tour of our week stay in Italy. This tour was fantastic because we had Brenda as our tour guide. When someone loves their job so much it really shines through their work and made us enjoy so much more than what there was to see and know about Florence. Brenda was very knowledgeable, funny and well spoken. We also enjoyed her running commentaries on the various happenings around the streets such as watching a woman parking her Vespa on the street or a van moving in a tight space. Very enjoyable and thank you Brenda for a great time!

I took the Florence tour of Florence Artisans. It was amazing. It was the best tour !!!! Our Guide, Helen was fantastic. She took us to places we'd NEVER have been able to find on our own. She was friendly and very informative. In fact, local people were greeting us with such a warm reception which I can only attribute to the fact that she is a well known and liked friend to the city.

I took two tours with Art Viva, and multiple tours with Aventurra Bellisima. Art Viva outperforms hands down. Their tour guides (Elizabeta and Klaus) were fantastic-- knowledgable, engaging, entertaining, and particularly Klaus on art-- he is a superstar art and history teacher. Also, the tour sizes were small <8. (Regrettably only one of Aventurra guides spoke English with sufficient facility to make the tour comprehensible and tour sizes were large 10-20). If I could do it again, I would have chosen Art Viva for all the tours.

Fantastic

We recently did 3 tours in Florence with Artviva and these were the most informative tours I have been on. In addition to the excellent information, you could tell that the guides LOVED their job. It was a pleasure to be on tours that were so interesting and with such enthusiastic and pleasant guides. I recommend this to anyone wanting to really learn about Florence , its art and its history and meaning.
