The Concierge is delighted to arrange tours of villas, palaces and secret gardens, or days out to picturesque wineries. Dining at the hotel’s romantic La Loggia Restaurant is an unforgettable highlight, while secrets of Italian cuisine can be gleaned at Belmond Villa San Michele’s renowned Cookery School, where hands-on lessons are taught by the Chef.
