Country Walkers Tours
These casual walking tours take place throughout Europe, with many offered within Italy. Choose from Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Tuscany, Lake District, Cinque Terre, and other itineraries. Dates and prices can be found online but true nirvana is only on the trails. Choose "Destinations" from the navigation menu, then "Italy."

Il Chiostro
The Tuscan Cloister is a sublime vineyard estate that acts as a setting for creative workshops and unstructured Waldenesque getaways. Take a writing, fine arts or vocal course--or don't. Just don't bring a cell phone.
