From bespoke private journeys to our signature Ultimate Umbria retreat, Total Tuscany Concierge Travel curates immersive Italian experiences rooted in place, people, and connection.
Every detail is thoughtfully designed and personally hosted — so Italy feels effortless, authentic, and deeply memorable.
For guests who have loved our Total Tuscany retreats, we continue to design one-week, all-inclusive Italian experiences in Tuscany and beyond — thoughtfully planned around your pace, interests, and preferred accommodations.
While these journeys are no longer offered as fixed, hosted group weeks, they are very much part of our work — curated privately with the same care, warmth, and insider access that have always defined Total Tuscany.
For those who prefer to travel with guidance and community, our hosted retreats offer an immersive way to experience Italy — centered on food, wine, culture, and connection.
Years of living in Italy have built trusted relationships with winemakers, chefs, artisans, and guides — opening doors to experiences most travelers never see.
Sandy & Phil Ferretti are American-born, Tuscany-based hospitality professionals who have spent over a decade welcoming guests to Italy.
Known for their warmth, discretion, and deep local relationships, they curate and personally host experiences that go far beyond the obvious — introducing guests to the people, traditions, and places that make Italy feel lived-in, not staged.
Whether crafting a bespoke private journey or guiding a hosted Italian retreat, Sandy & Phil are present throughout — ensuring every experience feels seamless, personal, and deeply connected.

Often called Italy’s Green Heart, Umbria is a region of medieval hill towns, olive groves, vineyards, and forested valleys — beautifully untouched by time.
Long cherished by Italians and quietly revered by chefs, winemakers, and artists, Umbria offers a slower, more soulful way of life — where traditions are lived, not staged, and each day unfolds with intention.
Umbria offers la dolce vita without the crowds: slower days, deeper flavors, and a way of life that still feels wonderfully real.
Here, traditions are lived — not staged. Meals unfold slowly and generously. Conversations linger well past sunset. Hospitality is instinctive, warm, and deeply human.
Often called “The New Tuscany,” Umbria has stepped confidently into the spotlight through its artisan food culture, sacred art, and refined yet rustic elegance — all without losing its soul.
Italy, as it once was — and still is, if you know where to look.
This is Umbria — and it’s where our hosted retreat unfolds.
The Ultimate Umbria Experience is not about rushing from place to place. It is about settling in.
Each day follows a beautifully balanced rhythm — a meaningful morning rooted in food, craft, or culture; a long, wine-filled lunch; time to wander or rest; and evenings that gather everyone together for sunset aperitivo, unforgettable dinners, and lingering conversation.
Personally hosted by Sandy & Phil, the week unfolds with ease — offering space to savor, connect, and experience Umbria not as a visitor, but as a welcomed guest.
