1) We’re going #omnichannel 💣 We just launched Outta Town on instagram & facebook (for the boomers, we love you as much as you love Tuscany). We will be scaling these channels with extended content & more fabulous finds.

2) How do you find reliable contractors in Italy? 👀 It’s easy to fall in love with a beautiful home, it’s hard to maintain one… much less to renovate one. These new-to-Tuscany hotel entrepreneurs have compiled a list of trusted craftspeople to work with.

We dove deep into the local communities of Tuscany in search for reliable suppliers. Started asking questions and references to local store owners, that usually worked. And yes…the challenge of navigating the Italian market was tought but it is part of the charm.
