Slow Week Guide in Tuscany
A 7‑day village‑based itinerary & planning guide
If the idea of five cities in ten days makes you feel tired already, this is for you.
Slow Week in Tuscany is a digital guide that helps you plan one calm, grounding week in a small Tuscan village, with one home base, slower days, and a real taste of everyday life.
Inside, you’ll get a complete 7‑day, one‑base itinerary, “go slower” options for every day, and simple advice on choosing your village, eating well, getting around, and packing lightly so you come home rested, not wiped out.
This is for you if…

About
Who created this
I’m Katie Portanova, founder of Truly Italy. I’ve been living in and traveling through Italy for over 20 years, and I recently obtained Italian citizenship as I move my life back to Tuscany. After years of watching people sprint through Italy and come home exhausted, I wanted to offer a different way: one slow, grounded week in a village that feels like home
the Real Promise
The goal of this guide isn’t to help you “see it all.”
It’s to help you come home feeling rested, connected, and like you actually lived in Tuscany for a week, not just passed through.
Purchase it for $49 and reuse it every time you plan another trip back to Italy.
