MEET Pamela Haack…

“More than 20 years ago, when I began to live in Italy and to explore so many incredible places off the beaten path, the seeds were sown for creating a unique, boutique travel company. What followed were years of meeting locals, forming friendships, creating a team and building a company – piece by piece – that would offer an intimate way of experiencing Italy. Fast forward to today, and I’m thrilled to say that along with having hosted thousands of guests (who have become a part of our Strada Toscana family!) we also host top-level retreats and workshops led by exceptional instructors – from landscape photography and floral design to collage and printing. When you’re ready to experience Italy as an insider, we’d love to have you join us.”

OUR Philosophy of Travel …

From its inception, the philosophy behind Strada Toscana LLC has been to create an unrivaled cultural experience for travelers to Italy. This can only be done with local Italians behind each and every walk, tour, tasting, meal or visit. From truffle hunts with Michele and Andrea to pasta lessons with Cristian, every detail is attended to with great care and attention by people who live and work right here – and who are honored that you’ve come to visit. If slow food, authentic experiences and getting-to-know-a place-as-an insider lights your heart on fire, we’d love to have you join us!

CUSTOMER Review:

“You went out of your way to show us more than Italy’s culture, history, and beauty. You showed us Italy’s soul, as reflected in its dedicated people doing what they love, and often following in their families’ footsteps as fine artisans – handcrafting wine, cheese, olive oil, and metal work. The Italians you introduced us to love life, and love their life’s work, as you do. Their passion, and yours, touched us like no other tour, and we’ve had many. Thank you for your warm and heartfelt hosting, which has redefined vacations for us. As you know, our family is already planning another tour of Italy with you, because we won’t go with anyone but you.” —Sincerely, Beverly and Pete Bono
