/24-7PressRelease/ - PHOENIX, AZ, March 21, 2007 - Touring Tuscany with a large group on a 45-seat motor coach and staying in international hotels may offer added conveniences and be cost effective, but may lose some of the romance and skimp on cultural interaction. However, the fear of the unknown with the small "rustic and charming" accommodations, villa rentals that look so nice on the website, or having to navigate the winding back roads alone can sometimes offer more adventure than desired - even for the soft adventure enthusiast!
Villa Vita International, a tour company devoted to small group tours to Tuscany, Italy offers a balanced program where the guests stay in countryside villas and luxury B & B's and include the most ideal tours for the first time visitor and returning visitor alike. Founder Gina Ruggiero created the company after years of specializing in travel to Italy in response to many of her client's desires for a more intimate vacation. Group sizes are typically 8 - 12 guests. All accommodations offer modern conveniences including private baths. American hosts working together with local guides help to bridge the language barrier and gain insight to the many interesting places off the beaten path while keeping the American standard of comfort in mind.
Any visit to Tuscany should include a guided tour of Siena and San Gimignano; two places mentioned on the "must-see before you die" lists. Cooking classes with local professional chefs and Chianti vineyard tours guided by the family members themselves offer a more intimate glimpse into the heart of this wine region. Most important, ample time is set aside to simply relax and enjoy la dolce vita.
Villa Vita International can also assist with putting together programs for special interest groups, health and wellness retreats, corporate retreats, and family reunions tailoring the tours and itinerary to fit the needs and desires of the group. Gina personally escorts all pre-scheduled departures. Please call toll free at 866-590-8181 or write to info@villavita.net for more information.
