Tailor-made activity holidays in Florence Italy providing language, cookery, dancing, wine, art and music courses

Tailor-made activity holidays in Florence Italy providing language, cookery, wine, art and music courses

Benvenuto a Firenze!
Have you ever visited somewhere on a City Break and thought "This is lovely - I would love to see more - and get to know this place in more depth"?
Going deeper is my business premise, and my interest -even my passion -is for my favourite Italian city - the City of Flowers - Florence!

If you are interested in an activity holiday with themed walks and the opportunity to study Italian language art and music, Tuscan cookery, water colour painting or just wander from church to shop to art gallery with a few hot chocolate or chianti breaks at appropriate intervals, then please contact me. I will build a tailor-made City break to help you make the most of your precious vacation. Download our leaflet to find out more.

Some elements - particularly art, dancing and cookery courses - are more fun , as well as being more economical, in a shared environment but at no point will you be part of a group of more than ten people.
If you have a friend or partner who wants to come to Florence but would prefer to have a more leisurely vacation, or has different needs like bars with Sky TV or to go to watch live football matches then alternative agendas can be arranged too.
This site is constantly being amended and will eventually provide more detailed information, a longer calender of dates and relevant links - however if you are intrigued please contact me and let me know what you are interested in - and we can develop your holiday from there!
