What our guests say
*Translated by Triptoscana
Just back from our first time in Tuscany.
I had once received a business card from Triptoscana, bearing in mind that if we want to go to Tuscany one day, we will ask Osvaldo and Vincent for help. We were allowed to pass on our wishes, and so they picked out 2 beautiful places for us. Where we enjoyed the country, the tranquility and the delicious food.
For our outings we received a list of tips for beaches, beautiful villages and places to eat.
Osvaldo and Vincent are always available for questions. Thanks to them we had a great holiday, and lost our hearts a bit to Italy….
Many thanks and love,

In addition to extremely correct and fast service and a lovely apartment that we could choose from several proposals, we thought the personal element was the most special: Vincent and Osvaldo, who, like good friends, send us tips for small villages, restaurants and the like, even during our stay. Highly recommended!
Kind regards, and good luck! Hopefully see you next time…

Dear Vincent and Osvaldo
We want to thank you for the beautiful place you chose for us. The information in advance and the easy communication with you helped us with a relaxed preparation for this holiday in Italy.
The agriturismo was lovely and in a nice and quiet area. The apartment was fine, nice bed and there was plenty of space on the site to find a seat in the shade. The pool was lovely. There was a nice breeze when we were there. The hostesses were helpful and nice and twice a week we had a good meal in their restaurant. Also the breakfast was fine. In the nearby village of Pomarance it was good shopping. There were plenty of cosy tasty restaurants in the vicinity (a few kilometers). The agriturismo is conveniently located in relation to the coast and various tourist places such as Volterra, Pisa and San Gimignano.
Thank you and we enjoyed it.

At Triptoscana, your wishes are carefully listened to, as has been proven again. We enjoyed a great stay in Tuscany. That saves a lot of searching. The tips for restaurants, places worth visiting, a nice beach or a festival were useful. For example, we visited the Punto Arte Festival, a great experience! Triptoscana is very reliable, knows "everything" about Tuscany and you will be helped very personally and quickly.

Triptoscana knows how to find the most delightful locations for you in beautiful Tuscany and arranges everything from A to Z. Unburdening is what they are very good at, you can always contact them. If something happens during your holiday, they will ensure that it will be taken care off so that you can still enjoy a pleasant stay and a top holiday. And then they are also super nice people!
Osvaldo and Vincent thank you very much for all the time, energy and effort you took to give us a nice holiday!

We enjoyed our holiday in Tuscany. The tips we received through Triptoscana were very helpful. The stay was super, clean and tidy! We have completely relaxed even though we have done something every day!
Visited Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, San Gimignano and of course Volterra and walked the Colle d'Elsa trail. And of course relax at the swimming pool of the agriturismo. Was great again.

Thanks for the stay, we loved it. Really friendly owners with a delicious meal cooked especially for us. An out of Africa feeling in the middle of nature. And a fantastic quiet place that is affordable. Exactly what we were looking for and that you found for us.
We have very fond memories of it!!

I would highly recommend the services of Triptoscana! Vincent & Osvaldo put together a most memorable summer trip for my husband, sister, brother-in-law and I, starting at Badia (), a beautiful abbey tucked away in the Siena countryside, where we spent the better part of one day cooking together with Chef P., who was once showcased on Netflix’ Salt Fat Acid Heat…so much fun, delicious food and wonderful camaraderie! Dining alfresco in the abbey’s gardens was magical! We thoroughly enjoyed exploring three different Tuscan wine regions, Chianti Classico at Castello (), Nobile at Cantine () just outside of Montepulciano and Brunello at Podere () just outside of Montalcino…without Vincent’s & Osvaldo’s expert guidance, we would never have been able to choose from the many wineries in the area! We will forever cherish the memories of a black truffle hunt with Paolo, Andrea, Lilly, Spunya and Puppy! Vincent & Osvaldo’s knowledge of the area and clear communications made our trip an experience to last a lifetime! Thank you Vincent & Osvaldo!

In the period from May 27, to June 3, 2023, we made a culinary holiday in Tuscany, in particular the Val d'Orcia, an area protected by Unesco. In one word it was great. This tour was tailor made for us and arranged by Triptoscana, Vincent and Osvaldo. In coordination with us, they have fulfilled this excellently, coupled with a good price/quality ratio.
It consisted of a three-day cooking workshop combined with truffle hunting and wine tasting, and a visit to a cheese farm. Furthermore, the time to relax and visit the area yourself. To all the beautiful places that Tuscany has to offer.
The stay at the Agriturismo was great. Wonderfully authentic and incredibly hospitable people and service. But the highlight was the cooking classes with Chef Allesandro. What an experienced and passionate man. We also learned that good cooking does not always have to be complicated and we Westerners have converted many dishes into something completely different. Highly recommended!!! Ever heard of the "Kissing Garlic"?
In other words, we can wholeheartedly recommend this kind of holiday. And wonderful that everything has been arranged and put together by Triptoscana.

We enjoyed a wonderful holiday week in Il Frutetto in June with 4 friends. The cooking classes with Frederico were superb. We also explored the beautiful surroundings, partly organized by Triptoscane, partly on our own, an ideal combination. Thank you Vincent and Osvaldo for your kindness and the perfect tour organization!
Highly recommend!

For a city trip to Florence, we contacted Triptoscana to see if they could help us find a suitable B&B.
We indicated a few wishes and we were quickly offered a few alternatives that matched our wishes.
Triptoscana knows the situation locally and that prevents disappointments when you start looking for yourself. It has become a beautiful address and that partly determined a beautiful weekend.

Wir haben in 2021 gleich 2x mit Triptoscana unseren Urlaub in der Toscana verbracht. Wir waren nach dem ersten Aufenthalt im Castello Ginori di Querceto so begeistert, dass wir einen zweiten Aufenthalt im Podere il Fornacino buchten. Vincent und Osvaldo haben mit ihren auf uns individuell abgestimmten Vorschlägen, dank ihrer grossen Erfahrung, der persönlichen Kenntnis und Nähe zur toscanischen Landschaft und den Menschen 2 aussergewöhnliche Orte für uns gefunden. Danke dafür und für die freundliche Bereitschaft uns auch in allen anderen Belangen aufmerksam zu begleiten.
Wir freuen uns auf weitere Erfahrungen mit Triptoscana.

Vincent and Osvaldo from Triptoscana made our early fall stay in Volterra special. They had great ideas and a very pleasant way of meeting personal needs. We even ended up at the source of the Cecina. To be continued for sure!

Last summer my girlfriend and I had an incredibly beautiful and fun holiday thanks to Vincent & Osvaldo from Triptoscana! The fact that they have visited all the offered accommodations themselves means that they know how to offer you the perfect accommodation that suits your specific needs. During your stay Vincent & Osvaldo also give many nice tips and recommendations about, for example, restaurants or villages to visit. This made it very personal. We will definitely come back in the future. Thanks again!

Osvaldo and Vincent can offer a beautiful selection of holiday homes. And we visited Volterra in the summer 2021, where we stayed at a beautifully located and peaceful place. Osvaldo and Vincent know the area thoroughly and can give much advice and tips on dining and excursions in the area. I can give my best and warm recommendations of Triptoscana.

By chance we came into contact with the men of Triptoscana. Through them, we made a nice selection of 4 different locations and accommodations. From a very old monastery to a beautifully converted country house.
Triptoscana is able to show you the most beautiful places of Toscana. Thank you for this experience.

For the autumn I was looking for a nice accommodation to stay with my husband and daughter and that is how I ended up at Triptoscana. What a nice and fast service! Soon several accommodations that met my needs were presented to me and that's how we spent a week in Borgo al Cerro at the beginning of October, what a lovely place! We also went on a truffle hunt. Although unfortunately we did not find a truffle, it was a really nice experience. Thank you Vincent and Osvaldo!

We had booked accommodation for our holiday in September 2021 in Tuscany after a long search on the internet, but we were not completely satisfied.
Osvaldo and Vincent started looking for us and quickly came up with a choice of two locations, which did meet our specific needs.
The men took us seriously and the accurate response in particular confirmed our choice for Triptoscana; we are going to ask them again to guide us in our search for a beautiful place in 2022!

We had high hopes for the "Cooking in Tuscany" trip with Federico Frosali and we were certainly not disappointed. We enjoyed the cooking workshops, the interesting excursions, the lunches, the beautiful landscape and last but not least the great company. Thank you Vincent and Osvaldo for the excellent organization and the pleasant guidance!

Had a fantastic trip in the theme of Tuscan food with the beautiful country house Podere Casale as a base. Learned a lot from the expert chef Federico, who explained different techniques and shared helpful tips on cutting, cooking and planning preparations. I admire his passion for cooking and food and how well he explained everything and at the same time kept an overview of everything. This led to delicious meals, accompanied by excellent wines, and therefore to a lot of fun. The outings with Vincent & Osvaldo were also very successful: interesting visits, even more delicious food, and it was great to hear all kinds of information about this beautiful region from these insiders.

"Waking up in Podere Casale... You open your shutters and look out over picturesque hills and valleys where morning mist hovers and glow in the golden morning sun. With a bit of luck you'll spot a wild boar, or a roe deer. Down below is now a delicious breakfast prepared for you by our hosts Vincent and Osvaldo.This is how a nice relaxing day begins with fun and educational trips in the pleasant company of the other guests. learn about the excellent Tuscan cuisine. This is exactly what you need every now and then..."

"An amazing experience"
A fantastic start to our trip through Italy! “Picking olives in Tuscany”. After this experience we will never look at an olive and olive oil the same again. It was educational but above all very enjoyable. Vincent and Osvaldo do everything they can to make the guests happy. Agriturismo I Moricci is a fairly simple but fine accommodation. Every day there was a delicious breakfast and lunch. In the evenings, delicious Italian cooking was served in the cozy kitchen, or we went out for dinner. The day trip to Volterra was also great. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back!

A journey with olive picking in the lead role, instructive from picking to olive oil. Pleasant hosts, who provided the necessary culinary treats. In addition to being very good hosts, Osvaldo and Vincent were also very good tour guides, they provided us with the necessary information about the agriturismo I Moricci; Volterra and Italy in general. A huge experience!

Thank you so much for arranging this amazing experience (truffle hunting)! Wow! They told so much, it was great with Emanuele and Michele. Cool to see how they work. Enjoyed some delicious snacks in the woods and we were allowed to keep the loot! This exceeded all our expectations! As a truffle fan, this was definitely a highlight of the holiday.

Carefree (With an exclamation mark) and at short notice we booked a holiday through Triptoscana. Despite the short notice, they were able to present a number of nice options matching all our preferences. Vincent and Osvaldo are lovely hosts and know a lot about the area, so we were always surprised by the beautiful places and the delicious food. My wife and I fell in love with Tuscany.

A relaxed, culinary environment with sufficient facilities for our daughter of 1 (and myself in a highly pregnant state) ..
For Osvaldo and Vincent those words were enough to come up with 3 fantastic options! Lari eventually became the base from which we made some fantastic city trips and visits to the beautiful surroundings. Of course with the several tips from both men in your pocket! In the evening we enjoyed the Tuscan cuisine (wild boar, fresh pasta, truffle ....) and wines in our stay. And my husband himself also participated in a cooking class. All in all, highly recommended! Both gentlemen are walking encyclopaedia of the region and are always ready for some advice during your stay. Pure enjoyment!

Dear Osvaldo and Vincent,
Thank you so much for organising the Truffle Hunt on Sunday.
It was very professionally organised. The personnel were knowledgable and generous, charming and considerate. The dog was very well trained and quickly found some white truffles which was a great outcome.
All together it was a terrific experience and I will enthusiastically recommend your Excellent services.
Thanks again,

Dear Vincent,
Just back from Volterra, I wanted to thank you very much for your excellent choice for our hotel.
What you wrote was absolutely true, neat (new) rooms and a really delicious breakfast in the middle of the city and super nice people, who really do their best.
Really something we enjoyed.

Im Mai/Juni 2018 hatten wir über Triptoscana eine Ferienwohnung in der Nähe von Montepulciano gebucht. Es zeigte sich das Vincent und Osvaldo bestens vernetzt sind und die Toskana sehr gut kennen. Unser Apartment war genau das was wir uns gewünscht hatten und die Anlage war 1a. Schön ist, dass die Zwei auch während unseres Aufenthaltes erreichbar waren und uns tolle Tips geben konnten.
Den Kontakt werden meine Frau und ich auf jeden Fall halten.

We had a great summer vacation in Volterra. Beautiful accommodation, fully tailored to our wishes. Vincent and Osvaldo are true Tuscany experts, they give you all kinds of practical tips on trips and attractions in the region. The quality of service is high. Telephone contact beforehand a number of times, so that they were well informed about our wishes. We liked it so much that we booked our holiday in Tuscany again through Triptoscana for the coming summer.

Dear Vincent and Osvaldo,
We just wanted to write to thank you for the beautiful Evening Shadow gift you gave us for our Silver Wedding anniversary on our recent visit to Villa Montecastello. What a wonderful momento of our perfect holiday in Tuscany with all the family. It was so thoughtful of you and we really appreciate the beautiful gift.
You found the ideal villa for us and everyone of us, old and young, so enjoyed our week at Montecastello. It was just the right place for our celebration and when we could drag ourselves away from the villa we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. It was a holiday to remember always and Evening Shadow has made it even more special.
Thank you both so much.
With all our best wishes

In September 2017 we had an intensive, yet very relaxed holiday week, organized by Vincent and Osvaldo, entirely by public transport and on foot. In that short time I got a nice impression of Tuscany based on Triptoscana's ideas, which I had never been before. The (night) train arrived in Florence and left after 8 days from this city. From Florence we travelled further by bus and on foot to a B&B, near the small and yet lively village of Fabbrica, situated on a hill in the middle of the rustic landscape. A warm host and hostess welcomed us at their organic farm with vineyard and fruit trees. They generously let us taste the Tuscan atmosphere and hospitality. We had a few nice walks in the area. On our walks we enjoyed the views, the river, the river valley, the mill and the vineyard. The breakfast was lush and with many homemade products. From there we left for Volterra, where we stayed in a simple hotel on the outskirts of the town. Great accommodation, and what a fantastic city Volterra is. History, a historical festival, culture and also from there walks in nature, it was all present. We have had many suggestions from Vincent and Osvaldo on what to do in the city and the surrounding area. It was particularly attractive and varied. Their tips for food and drinks also matched well with what we like. Finally, we enjoyed the tour at an organic farm with Vincent and Osvaldo and from the bus trip back to Florence. Through all the stories I discovered much more in the landscape on the way back than I had noticed on the way there. I found Triptoscana particularly clever that they designed such a beautiful and enriching journey within our limited budget and limited time. Tribute!

We have returned from a wonderful week in Tuscany with a pile of recipes and beautiful memories.
Under the enthusiastic leadership of Pauline, we cooked delicious Italian dinners for 3 days. During the day we enjoyed the culinary outings. Whether it is mozzarella, olive oil, pasta or wine, we now know that in Tuscany they work with great love and respect for nature, to create beautiful, honest products. Thank you Vincent & Osvaldo for your passionate stories and thank you for sharing those beautiful places with us.
The Torta di Noci was also a great success in Dussen, but the preparation of ciabatta bread still needs some practice.

Through Triptoscana I booked an olive picking package. Tuesday morning I still worked in the office in Amsterdam and the same day at 21: 30h I was already in Tuscany in the apartment. Two days of delicious zen olives picking with a lot of time for culinary refreshments. I explored Florence on Saturday and Sunday. The hospitality of Vincent and Osvaldo was fantastic. They did everything to give us a nice holiday. And it worked!

We found Triptoscana via via. After we had sent an email with our wishes, Vincent called us right away to discuss them and came up with four options for our family. We eventually chose two different locations, which were really top! Vincent and Osvaldo also brought us to a castle nearby. And on the last evening we also had a tour in Volterra with Vincent and Osvaldo and another family. It was a nice evening and the two weeks have been a beautiful holiday. The two know Tuscany thoroughly and know what to see.

On Friday evening we sent the first email with our request and on Sunday we were already able to chose from the options Vincent and Osvaldo had selected for us. All perfect locations according to our wishes. We sekected a beautiful borgo with lots of greenery, even in August! We loved being able to visit a private castle that was very rarely open to the public, organised by Triptoscana. Vincent and Osvaldo know a lot about the area and where you can find is good food and drink. A good tip for a vegetarian restaurant was given. Finally, the visit to Volterra was extra fun thanks to them. Highly recommended!

After we made our wishes known to Vincent and Osvaldo, they made a first selection of a number of locations. The choice was made quickly, 1st week to Querceto castle town and 2nd week to Il Frutteto in Lari. Both locations have their own specialities and the description on the website of Triptoscana is correct. Triptoscana has added value to our holiday by keeping us informed on local events by whatsapp or email. Like e.g. the guided tour of Lajatico, the village of Andrea Bocelli, or a visit to Rocca Sillana by night, completely illuminated with a beautiful view. They also made sure that we had some groceries in our apartment for our late arrival the first evening. And how nice it is te be informed on the right restaurants where you can eat good and Tuscan food. It was so nice that you get to know the local Tuscan life as well as the well-known highlights where we also have been. In summary Top !!
Chris and Jacoliene (NL) - July 2017*
Chris and Jacoliene (NL) - July 2017*
After contacting Vincent, he preselected several locations for us. We chose Querceto and that was a very good accommodation. A beautiful, authentic location in a castle village. Partially still inhabited by the descendants of the original family. Beautiful apartment with many authentic details, equipped with air conditioning and good beds. We had a wonderful week there. And thanks to Triptoscana our second holiday week was also very nice. They booked Borgo Bottaia for us. Close to Florence, a quiet hamlet with beautiful swimming pool.
Vincent and Osvaldo know Tuscany very well and give you a personal advice on where the beautiful places are that you should really see. Even making a reservation in a restaurant was part of their service!! Before departure we received an email with directions on how the get to the accommodation, including supermarket and lunch address.
Vincent and Osvaldo are clearly very well informed on all locations and are personally involved with their customers. We are extremely pleased with Triptoscana.

Vincent and Osvaldo know Tuscany very well and give you a personal advice on where the beautiful places are that you should really see. Even making a reservation in a restaurant was part of their service!! Before departure we received an email with directions on how the get to the accommodation, including supermarket and lunch address.

Away from the beaten path; in gems of accommodations, with for example the most charming hostess Lucia, to be sent out to the most beautiful places that Tuscany has to offer, and then also to be gastronomically spoiled. Osvaldo & Vincent have made Triptoscana a great experience. Next year again!

The stay you arranged for us with Laura Polidori, in B&B Agrimonia, was in one word, exquisite. My wife had just done an entire triathlon in Zurich and it was the ideal place for 2 days away from it all to relax. We enjoyed the overwhelming nature, hospitality and beauty of Volterra. We have only stayed there two nights, but when I look back at it, it seems like we have been at Agrimonia a whole week.

We had a great time in Lajatico at Vincent and Osvaldo. They are very sweet people, we felt ourselves right at home. They gave us a lot of tips including the one for the best pizza in all Tuscany (2 km from their away). And they had not said too much. We also had rented for 3 days mountain bikes, also super organised by them. The bikes were brought and adjusted by the lessor and three days later picked up nicely. They advised us the most beautiful (but also the toughest haha) routes and we arrived at the nicest spots with amazing views! We visited a day Lucca, also advised by Vincent and Osvaldo and it was well worth it. In overall we had a great holiday. We will definitely come back!

Through Triptoscana we arrived at Residence Ragoncino. A splendid villa with beautiful views on the agriculture around and the town of Volterra. Vincent and Osvaldo know the best spots and have taken us to the fantastic podere I Moricci for organic olive oil and fresh figs. We bought at a small biodynamic farm some lovely cheeses. And we ate delicious pizzas with the thinnest crunchiest bottom I have ever seen. Through Vincent and Osvaldo we were immediately introduced to the real Italian life on the countryside.

We greatly enjoyed our week in Tuscany. Also thanks to Vincent and Osvaldo we had a wonderfully relaxing week and enjoyed Volterra. Besides the beautiful old towns and cities and the beautiful nature, we used a lot of their tips for food, drinks, parking and also visited some unique places. Vincent and Osvaldo are warm, hospitable and make their promises. Many thanks for this great week. We will be back.

With our family we were looking for a perfect location in the triangle Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena. Triptoscana has fantastically helped us and made sure we had our prime location. Our apartment was superb and especially the location with views over the Tuscan hills was breathtaking. Casole d'Elsa, Colle di Val d'Elsa, Volterra, Siena, etc. too much to mention. We enjoyed it and the next time when we will go to Italy we will certainly make use of the services of Triptoscana!

Last summer we spent a week at Villa Marmini in Volterra. What a great week we had. Beautiful town, beautiful villa with nice apartment and lovely pool where we spent many hours. Highly recommendable!

With two young children aged 6 and 4, we were looking for a trip that both parents and energetic kids would enjoy. Ragoncino provided us with exactly what we were looking for. The accommodation was perfectly fine. During our stay, we were treated to a traditional Tuscan meal in the villa and it was the highlight of our eating during the week. There are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes of Ragoncino including a local pizza restaurant that the kids loved.
Osvaldo and Vincent were excellent hosts and ensured we enjoyed ourselves. They provided us with everything we needed including details of good beaches (a very pleasant 45 min drive) and family attractions not too far away. The kids really enjoyed the turtles and sharks at the acquarium and the numerous slides and at the waterpark. The kids spent a lot of time in the pool at Ragoncino while we were able to sit back, relax and catch up on reading. All in all, it was a fantastic place to stay and I highly recommend it.

With the fine stay in Tuscany of last year in mind, also this year we have booked with full confidence our holidays with Triptoscana.
Based on our wishes the accommodations were presented and discussed with us to achieve a good choice.
Vincent and Osvaldo knew to align their advice for trips and dinners well in our interests, taking into account the high temperatures during those weeks last summer.
Thanks to Vincent and Osvaldo, we got acquainted with Tuscany on a not too touristy way and wonder what they have in store for us this year.

We have had a wonderful holiday in the area of Volterra in the spring of 2014. The hospitality of Vincent and Osvaldo and their knowledge of the local environment and culture have contributed much. Their tips and knowledge about the many attractions, local gastronomy, and hidden treasures such as the tombs of the Etruscans, the workshop of alabast sculptor and the pirroteske villages near Volterra have let us experience how rich this area in Italy is. In a short time we have gained many impressions and enjoyed the Tuscan lifestyle.

Spontan sind wir Mitte August in den Urlaub gefahren, um ein paar schöne Tage in der Toscana zu erleben. Wir hatten nicht gebucht und dachten dass 2 Personen immer unterkommen. Aber um Ferragosto war alles ausgebucht, haben ca 20 agroturismo angefahren, alle waren komplett voll. Nach einer e-Mail anfrage hat sich Vincent bei uns gemeldet und uns ein Appartement angeboten. Der Urlaub wurde somit einer der schönsten für uns. Eine saubere Unterkunft, perfekt ausgestattet mit allem was das Herz begehrt, einschließlich Grill und Schwimmbad, sowie Wein und Grappa von den Weinbergen vor Ort haben den positiven Eindruck abgerundet. Vincent und Osvaldo hatten immer ein offenes Ohr für unsere Belange, konnten uns sehr gute Restaurants empfehlen und gaben uns sehr gute Tipps für Ausflüge in der Region. 2 Männer, die sich in der Toscana bestens auskennen.
Es war wunderbar, unvergesslich und wir kommen wieder.

Vincent and Osvaldo are excellent hosts. They make you feel welcome immediately. With their knowledge of the region, our week was filled automatically. With visits to the most charming villages and interesting attractions. The beautiful accommodation, the tips we got regarding nice restaurants and the best ice cream parlors, made our stay the ultimate Tuscan experience. In short, worthwhile to be repeated and the travel guide we can leave at home!

Triptoscana offers Tuscany goers a clear added value. They help you in finding suitable accommodations, based on prescribed wishes. On the spot they give advice and suggestions for example on daytrips, culture or activities. This we experienced during our stay at "Antigo Borgo di Tignano" in the summer of 2013. An excellent accommodation that we have chosen at the suggestion of Triptoscana. Vincent and Osvaldo, who also lived there that summer, assisted the guests and participated in the organisation of activities. This year for the 2nd time we have found with the help of Triptoscana a holiday destination in Tuscany. Based on our wishes Osvaldo and Vincent made a pre-selection of accommodations. We only needed to make the final choice. The expertise and care Triptoscana offers, guarantees another great holiday.

Vincent and Osvaldo know a lot about Tuscany. The good thing is that we only had to indicate what we wanted and that they arranged the locations and activities. Such as the purchase of fine wine at the wine cooperative. Too bad that it already finished. With a holiday through Triptoscana quality and authenticity is guaranteed. Their help with daytrips, special addresses and all sorts of facts, gave every trip something extra. Such as the delicious food at Pizzeria Chicco in Colle di Val d'Elsa.

So recognizable. If we see the pictures on Triptoscana.com passing by, we imagine ourselves at Vincent and Osvaldo. In October 2013, our Italian-Dutch friends showed us the highlights of central Tuscany. For Melissa the personal tour of the medieval Castella di Staggia Senese organised by these two men, was the highlight. Melchior still thinks back with pleasure of the glass of white wine with Vincent on a terrace of the Campo in Siena, for many the most beautiful square in the world. For the entrepreneur Melissa (Maction Business Events) the stay at Gabriella in Antigo Borgo di Tignano gave inspiration for incentive trips from the Netherlands.
