Guests like Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Oscar Wilde, Gustave Klimpt, George Byron, JRR Tolkien, Gianni Versacce, even the Dalai Lama (we won't mention the long list of today's cultural creatives!) got and gave enormous life-changing experiences in Romagna.
It's a truly deeply magical place. Allow yourself to be enchanted on a very special food, wine & cultural adventure pilgrimage!
You'll never be the same again. Promise.

How it works: Romagna away from the coast is a very untouristy place. Unlike its near neighbours Tuscany and the Veneto, in Romagna foreign (particularly English-speaking) visitors are unusual. Here you will be treated as a real guest - not a tourist!
So that you may enjoy you visit to the full, we run your experience not as a package tour but more like a group of friends having an adventure on a visit to a new and very special place.
In this way we believe you will have a glorious and very different experience.
The fact is that Romagna's wonderful hinterland has not become jaded by mass tourism - and we aim to keep it that way.
Everybody you will meet here is passionate about their homeland, its beauty and its enormous larder of local, seasonal food and wine.
Everybody you will meet here is enormously proud of their history, culture and above all their diligent and heartfelt hospitality.
We sincerely believe that you will find treasure here in Romagna - treasure that can only come from open hearts with the willingness to share an unbelievably enormous heritage.
By the time you leave our aim is to help you, like us, to be passionate about this beautiful place and count the days til you return.
