Our story
It began when Barry and Christine Pearson fell in love with the Tuscan coast and started helping British families find their perfect Tuscany villa holiday. Today, with handpicked luxury villas from Lucca to Chianti, Siena and beyond, their family carries that story on. Every guest still enjoys personal service from first enquiry to departure, and we still love sharing the Italy we’ve known for over 50 years. Discover our story here
