Truly Italy

19/06/2026

Want a week in Tuscany that actually feels like a vacation?

I plan one main thing per day, slow mornings, unhurried evenings, and a village that’s lovely even on a do-nothing day.

Think coffee at the bar, a short market trip, a winery visit, long lunches, and time to nap, journal, and really talk.

My 7-day slow-week rhythm (one base, gentle day trips, and breathing room) helps you trade frantic checklists for memories that stick. I’ve used this on small-group trips and in my own life here in Tuscany — and it changes everything.

Read the full guide and sample itinerary — or book a 60-minute Slow Italy Trip Planning Session if your current plan feels like a marathon.

Busy doing nothing but experiencing life. ✨🌟💫

Taken from our 10 year anniversary to Salento, Puglia. But how about a slow week in Tuscany?

Do you need a week away from work and responsibilities?

If “one week in one Tuscan village” is part of that dream, I’m designing a tiny Tuscan Village Week for 8 guests in June 2027: one village, slow days, long dinners, and no rushing.

You don’t have to decide now. You just have to keep the door open.

In 2021, I slipped into a little church in Florence that has been my sanctuary since I was a student in 2002.⁠
⁠
I sat down and very clearly heard: “You’re back where you belong.”⁠
⁠
That moment quietly re‑started a dream I’d put on the shelf: becoming Italian and moving back to Tuscany.⁠
⁠
This May, I finally handed in my citizenship paperwork at the consulate in Chicago. It wasn’t dramatic. But it changes everything about how I build future trips and weeks in Tuscany.⁠
⁠
I just recorded a new episode of Florence & Me about it: the long road to citizenship, the consulate day, and what it means for the slow weeks I’m creating next.⁠

Nothing is more important than peace.

Peace with nature.
