An Old-World Retreat In Magnificent Tuscany

The beauty that surrounds Montepulciano, Italy cannot be denied. In this quiet town sits a beautiful villa named Podere Concezione. This 200-year-old Tuscan villa has been fully renovated with complete modern conveniences. It is located within walking distance of the beautiful town of Montepulciano.

Villa Podere Concezione will be your home away from home for one week. You and seven guests will enjoy the amenities of a modernized three-bedroom, four-bathroom centuries-old house, complete with a separate casita and bath, as you rest from each day of historical sightseeing. Live the life of past Italian kings and queens with the help of a personal chef and housekeeper.

Montepulciano is full of elegant Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, endearing squares and hidden corners, and boasts extensive panoramas of the glorious valley of Val d’Orcia and Val di Chiana that surround it. Whether you choose to relax in your private villa or venture out, there will never be a question of what to do while visiting this town.

To further enhance your trip, your host will arrange a Tuscan cooking class where you will learn how to prepare and enjoy a four-course meal. Mangia!

If you prefer, at additional cost, venture off on a two-hour trip to Rome to experience a private tour of the Necropolis underneath the Vatican Basilica where you will experience the richness of history in front of your eyes or walk the gardens that are off limits to the public. Other add-on experiences include a private Mass with an English-speaking Priest (in Rome), wine tasting at stunning vineyards, a sunrise hot air balloon ride, gin tastings, horseback riding or even take a day drive in a Ferrari. Your adventure includes $10,000 worth of airfare. For additional information on Podere Concezione, visit www.podereconcezione.com.
