The Val d’Orcia invites you to slow down. Wheat fields roll like waves and cypress-lined roads guide you to hilltop towns where time feels wonderfully unhurried.
A week in Tuscany: living like royalty
Our journey begins at a restored castle, where stone walls hold centuries of stories. Mornings start with espresso under pergolas; afternoons drift across vineyards, and evenings settle by the fireplace as the sun fades behind the Tuscan hills.
Between tastings and trattorias, we explored tiny ateliers, learning from artisans who still handcraft ceramics and textiles.
Here’s everything we learned from a week of living like modern royalty in Tuscany.
Tuscany teaches you to take your time; beauty reveals itself slowly.
