This tour invites you to experience Europe at a more relaxed and rewarding pace. As the first in our Escapes collection, it focuses as much on how you stay as where you go, with two exceptional private villas providing a comfortable and immersive base in Tuscany and Provence.

In Tuscany, you will stay at Villa Iole, a charming 16th-century country house surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. From here, explore Florence, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and Siena, while also enjoying time to unwind—whether in the nearby village of Palaia, by the pool, or during a hands-on cooking class followed by a shared Tuscan meal.

In Provence, Villa La Bastide Lavande offers a tranquil setting near L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Discover Gordes, Roussillon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Arles and Aix-en-Provence, visit local markets, and enjoy the region’s iconic landscapes, with time to relax and enjoy the villa.

With small group travel, a balance of included experiences and free time, and a focus on shared meals and local connections, this journey is designed to feel less like a tour and more like living like a local.
