We invite you to the vacation of
your dreams – a week of sensual delight in beautiful Italy. Join us in
incomparable Tuscany for a week of
making friends, relaxing and exploring the good life.
We believe that in
today's fast-paced world, where hard-working people spend their days

This is our tenth year
of facilitating retreats for gay men in Italy. We offer you the
opportunity to see one of the world's truly grand destinations with people
who know Italy and who like to
experience places often unseen by casual visitors. We help you explore
the difference between "tourist" and
"traveler," and to really appreciate this marvelous place.
