The Italy you live,
not the one you visit.

Never more than eight travellers, often fewer. A group departure runs with a minimum of four; below that we offer you another date or a full refund.

It's a slow pace, not a hike, but you'll be on your feet two to four hours a day, on cobbles, farm tracks and hill lanes. Good general health is what it takes; talk to us first if you have mobility concerns.

A private room throughout, daily breakfast and every meal on the itinerary, all the activities and transfers in the plan, your guides and a welcome gift. Flights, insurance and anything you choose for yourself are not.

A deposit holds your place. What's left is invoiced in two instalments before you travel, three months before departure and then forty-five days before, and each invoice arrives by email with a link to pay online. Book within 45 days of departure and the trip is paid in full at checkout. The full terms (payments, dates, cancellations) are in our Terms & Conditions.

Italian or English, whichever you prefer.

Vegetarian, pescetarian and most intolerances are fine with a little notice. Strict vegan and coeliac diets are hard to guarantee. Our tables are family kitchens and small producers, where cheese, cured meats and flour are the heart of it, so talk to us before you book.

A passport valid for at least six months. From 2025, non-EU travellers (US, UK, Australia, Canada and others) also need an ETIAS authorisation before entering Italy. It is quick to arrange online, well before you leave.

It isn't required, but we strongly recommend it, ideally with 'cancel for any reason' cover, taken out within a couple of weeks of your deposit. It's your safety net for flights, health and the unexpected.
