More About...Tuscany Italy
Everyone talks about how beautiful Tuscany is, and frankly it is! But the real beauty of Tuscany can be found in many of the small villages found throughout the region.
Walk the small streets of a medieval village, listen to the sounds of the locals and the church bells, experience authentic Tuscan cooking. And most importantly, slow everything down. Immerse yourself in the true Tuscany you hear so much about. And relax.
The smile in your soul awaits!
More About....Our Conference Location
This Fall 2025 meeting will be held in Castiglion Fiorentino, in the heart of Tuscany. Many of you probably have not heard of Castiglion Fiorentino, which plays into why we are having the meeting there. It is a small, medieval hilltop walled village that is completely self-contained. Everything you could possibly want, or need can be found inside the town walls. Yet the town is easily accessible by car or train. Click on the link below to see a 3-minute YouTube video that captures the essence of Castiglion Fiorentino.
More About...The Surrounding Area
You may have heard of Cortona, which is where the movie Under The Tuscan Sun was filmed. Cortona is about 6 miles from the Conference Location of Castiglion Fiorentino. It is a beautiful town with fantastic views, but honestly, it is full of tourists. Cortona is a great place to visit for a day, and the bus from Castiglion Fiorentino is 3 Euros from town center to town center, but to get the true Tuscan experience, Castiglion Fiorentino is the place to be!
Just north of Castiglion Fiorentino lies the city of Arezzo, a larger Tuscan town that is a great mix of medieval streets and the 21st century. Antiques and jewelry are the top products of Arezzo. The train ride from Castiglion Fiorentino to Arezzo? Just 5 minutes and about 4 Euros. Bravo!
Please note that Castiglion Fiorentino is a jumping off point to explore Tuscany, and having these tours and excursions as part of your stay will make your planning that much easier.
