New Tuscan Experience
The Vacation of a Lifetime
We create outstanding custom travel experiences that allow you to discover the best of Italy.
From arranging accommodations to designing one-of-a-kind itineraries, our services make planning your trip stress-free.
Working with us will feel like you have a friend in Italy! As locals, we have an in-depth knowledge of the area and are on site to manage every aspect of your stay. Our expert team is available to answer your questions and assist you from the first time you contact us until we say goodbye at the end of your visit.
The Villa Experience
Stay in a stunning private villa to truly immerse yourself in the local lifestyle. We will show you a selection of hand-picked properties that match your specific requirements, so you don’t have to spend hours doing research.
Our collection includes luxurious private villas, charming farmhouses, and countryside apartments, all situated in the most sought-after areas, with convenient access to the major attractions.
Beyond Tuscany
For those looking to explore other areas of Italy, we are happy to design a personalized itinerary that includes some of the country’s most iconic destinations. It is also easy to combine a stay in Tuscany with visits to other regions. Thanks to our network of trusted local collaborators, we ensure the same high-quality service across a variety of locations throughout Italy.
For individuals seeking an exceptional villa vacation, New Tuscan Experience has proudly partnered with Dovetail Travel to offer exclusive small-group luxury tours.
Dovetail Travel emerged from the bond between two sisters, Maya and Kathy, the founder of New Tuscan Experience, and a shared vision to combine their expertise to deliver unparalleled travel services.
These small group tours are curated by the team at New Tuscan Experience to offer luxurious villa accommodations and thoughtfully designed itineraries dedicated to revealing the hidden gems of Italy and reimagining a traditional tour.
Our guests will be treated like family as they immerse themselves in the local culture, savor seasonal cuisine, enjoy fine wines and explore areas often overlooked by other tourists. But most importantly, they will have the opportunity to make new connections.
Traveling with us is more than just taking a trip to Italy – it's a way to build strong bonds with those you meet on the journey.

Testimonials
Our greatest inspiration is knowing that we help to create beautiful memories. The best way to be sure we are doing a good job is when our clients tell us so. Their praise is our biggest satisfaction, and when they return (which they do!) or send us their family and friends, we couldn’t be prouder.
Yet Another Encore!
If you are thinking about traveling to Italy you need to do yourself a favor and contact Kathy, explain your reasonable expectations for your trip, and then enjoy the almost indescribable results. She is simply the best at what she does.
Every one of our FOUR trips with NTE has been unique and each one has benefited from what came before.

While we all love wine and food, it is much more than just that; it is about really seeing Italy in a way that is difficult to convey, but so enjoyable to experience and then remember.
It is not exactly correct to say that all we had to do each time was to show up, but that is pretty close to right. Kathy arranges for everything on our itinerary…Her knowledge of the places and her access to all of the support people is nothing short of amazing. There has not been one single “miss”…
If you want to see and experience what Italy has to offer in a totally unique and completely rewarding and enriching way, you will not do better than New Tuscan Experience.

Friends’ Reunion
I lack the vocabulary to properly describe just how much we loved our time in Tuscany.
Everything was perfect, starting with our villa. The owner was a lovely host and joined us for a drink on two evenings. He told us about his life and growing up with his cousins on his grandparents’ property. I’m sure he does this with all his guests but he certainly made us feel very special.
-
At the end of each day we all declared “today was our favorite!” only to declare it again the next day, and the next….
Our guides were extraordinary and brought the towns we visited to life. Touring wouldn’t have been the same without them. And Francesco is a total gem. He took care of us with kindness, patience and lots of humor!
We left all of those we met as if we were old friends.
Thank you a million times for all you did to put this trip together for us.
We will be back!

Discovering Our Roots
To say that our trip was everything we hoped for would be a major understatement. It was so many things more than we could ever have imagined. Every day was special and different.
We had an incredible day at the Olive Estate. I really loved Eleonora, and meeting you and your family made it even more special.
-
Every service and restaurant recommendation was exceptional. We loved our tour guides and of course we loved Francesco.
We thought that the B&B in Chianti was an incredibly beautiful location. The views were stunning as were the paths and roads for walking.
I will be in touch about our next visit to Italy as soon as we begin planning.
Again, I can not thank you enough for all you did to make our trip exceptional.
