A visit to ultra-modern thermal baths in an Italian spa town

At first glance, it may look like any antique shop… but this is Tuscany, and the treasures tell a different story.
Murano glass chandeliers, antique linens, painted furniture, religious relics, old ceramics, carved wood, and warehouses full of one-of-a-kind finds — antiquing here is not about browsing shelves. It is about learning to see the stories waiting in the corners.
This is **The Tuscan EDIT**: a curated antiques experience for those who love the hunt, the history, and the magic of finding something with soul.

A small-group Tuscany retreat for lovers of antiques, handmade beauty, soulful spaces, and slow living

This is your invitation to step away from the noise and into a slower, more personal side of Tuscany — a week designed for travelers who love beautiful things, soulful places, handmade traditions, and the quiet thrill of discovery.

In true Hub & Spoke style, the week will be designed around the ease of settling in rather than constantly packing and moving. Our time will be anchored by one beautiful home base, with each day revealing a new layer of Tuscany and Italian life. Should a special opportunity invite us slightly farther afield, it will be woven into the week with the same sense of ease, beauty, and purpose.

The Tuscan EDIT is an intimate small-group experience centered on finding beauty — in old objects, handmade traditions, quiet villages, memorable meals, creative workshops, thermal waters, and the everyday rhythm of Tuscan life. Based in a small Chianti village, this week opens the door to a more personal side of Tuscany: antique sources, artisan studios, private collections, creative encounters, favorite local restaurants, and the kind of access that comes not from a guidebook or a search engine, but from living here — from real friendships, trusted relationships, and the daily rhythm of life in this corner of Italy.

Bring your friends — or come ready to meet new ones — and spend the week with people who share your love of antiques, interiors, handmade beauty, creative living, beautiful food, and the kind of soulful discoveries that cannot be rushed. This is a week for those who light up at the sight of a weathered door, a stack of old linens, a hand-painted detail, an artisan’s studio, a long table, or a found object with a story.

Throughout the week, we will explore the layered world of Tuscan and Italian decorative arts, with a special emphasis on antiques, textiles, tableware, art, small furnishings, and collected pieces that make a home feel personal rather than simply decorated. Guests will be invited to share the types of objects, colors, styles, or pieces they are drawn to before arrival, allowing our team to keep those wishes in mind as we wander, scout, and discover. Larger finds can be discussed for shipping, while smaller treasures can travel home with you. And if an extra suitcase becomes necessary, Tuscany has a way of making that feel like part of the adventure.

This week also celebrates the beauty of things made by hand. We will meet artisans, step into workshops, and take part in creative experiences rooted in local materials, traditions, and creative practice. These are not rushed demonstrations, but meaningful moments of connection with makers, materials, and the stories behind them.

There will be time for restoration, too. A day devoted to Tuscany’s thermal waters will offer space to soak, relax, and enjoy the calming rhythm of a spa setting. In between days of exploring and gathering inspiration, we will settle around memorable tables, enjoy a cooking class, and share one especially personal evening in the Hub & Spoke founder’s own Chianti home — a dinner shaped by friendship, welcome, and the pleasure of gathering around a table in a place that is truly lived in and loved.

The final flow of the week will be shaped around the best local opportunities available during our dates, including access to antique sources, artisan studios, private warehouses, creative spaces, favorite restaurants, and tucked-away places that are often found only through genuine local connection. The result is a curated, deeply personal week that feels polished but not stiff, elevated but never impersonal.

Come with friends, come with curiosity, or come simply because you are craving a week that feels beautiful, restorative, and deeply personal. The Tuscan EDIT is a chance to gather inspiration, gather treasures, gather around tables, and gather yourself again — all in the company of people who understand the pleasure of living beautifully.

Authentic Tuscan hospitality is at the heart of this experience — a relaxed evening in a lived-in home, gathered around the table with generous food, local stories, and the kind of warmth that cannot be staged.
