“Where do I start? It is so easy to completely relax at the villa. Becky and her hostess, the countess, Carmela the cook and her assistant Aurora make sure you feel at home. And the food is fantastic! The view of the valley is just amazing, day or night! The day trips are just right and the guides are delightful. I can’t wait to go back!”

A private villa, our own chef, our own drivers and tour guides….the food was out of this world and it just kept coming and coming…the wines were fabulous…everyone is so friendly and the shopping is to die for! Can’t wait to get back next year! Thanks to Becky and her special flair! She does it up right all the way!”

“Just returned from a fabulous trip to Italy. Our stay in Cortona was everything one would hope a week in a villa would be. The place is magical. Food was great, our cooking class was a riot. Only 2 people could roll out the pici noodles, both men. Our day trips were wonderful with amazing guides who brought life to these cities. Would love to go back again and just stay at the villa. Ciao!”

“If you have to turn 50, I can think of no better place to do it, no easier way to set it up, and no better people to handle all the details! LiveTuscan.com is the only way to go! Our group made the trip in May, but started working with Becky months before that. All of our questions were answered and all of our special requests were met. The trip to the beautiful villa was easily made and when we arrived a wonderful snack was laid out to hold us over until dinner. The villa itself was beautiful, with breathtaking views. Becky and her assistant made us feel spoiled every day. All of the food served was amazingly good! Each day was a new adventure to another town, with wonderful guides, interesting sites to see and lots to learn. I could continue writing for pages, but the bottom line is ,if I ever get the opportunity to go to Italy again, the first thing I will do is get in touch with Becky”

Joe and I had one of our best weeks together and came away feeling so blessed to have been able to join an amazing group of people, none of whom we knew prior to the trip but who we can now call friends! Grazie to Becky Munson for making the magic happen!”

“I can’t even begin to say how wonderful our time was with Becky and our Live Tuscan family. Everything was great….the surroundings were beautiful, the villa was incredible, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our guides were knowledgeable and delightful people who clearly enjoyed sharing their knowledge with us. The wines were fantastic. Best of all were the new friends we made the week in Tuscany. It was a magical time. I can’t say enough good things about this trip..”

Ellena R.

“An absolute amazing experience! Becky is so great! Each day was filled with trips around Tuscany with great tour guides that made the trip even better. The food, of course, is AMAZING. The week I had with Live Tuscan was one of the best trips I’ve made to Europe. Definitely a MUST vacation (maybe every year!) Thanks Becky for an incredible trip!”

"This trip was so epic for us, my expectations might now be permanently high for all future vacations. 😂 Mom and I went on a Viking cruise this year.....it was very nice, they did everything they said they would...buuuut it wasn't "Live Tuscan nice", which is now an official way to judge how great a vacation is for our family."
