The Tuscan Heritage Foundation is preparing Villa Panoramica to welcome students, artists, farmers, and cultural learners beginning in 2026. To safely host these mission-aligned retreats, the villa requires program-related improvements that transform it into a fully equipped educational center.

These preparations are not luxury renovations—they are functional investments in safety, accessibility, and learning. The villa is being renewed as a living center of Tuscan life—where perennial agriculture, artisan craft, the culinary arts, and cultural exchange thrive. A living museum of regional objects and traditions. The villa offers space to unplug, heal, and reconnect: to write, paint, garden, wander the olive terraces, or gaze at the same stars Galileo studied in these hills. Part of our mission is to inspire a the sustainability that comes with this quality of life. With your support, this historic villa becomes a place that nurtures creativity, sustainability, and a meaningful connection to the land. Your generosity restores more than the grounds—it strengthens community and preserves the traditions, landscapes, and skills that have shaped Tuscany for centuries. Together, we honor a heritage that enriches our lives and sustains the region. La Dolce Vita culture becomes something you can carry home. 

Volunteer Weeks are part of our hands-on cultural heritage programs. 

Participants are expected to work on the property for 20 - 30 hours during their week. Activities include grounds maintenance, gardening, tree planting, stone work, cooking, collaborative arts, or sharing your specific skills with the community and villa. Throughout the week cultural heritage information and activities will also be offered. All retreats have yoga and meditation options in the morning around 7 AM. Alcohol is not provided, menu is Tuscan fair made and shared together. If you have special dietary needs please note there may be a surcharge depending on the extent of preparation. A $700 contribution for cleaning and food is recommended. A $1700 fee for additional guests.

Leadership donors are invited to participate in 

Volunteer Weeks May Include :

• Olive grove care
• Perennial agriculture Projects
• Artisan programs
• Food heritage initiatives
• Culinary Traditions
• Visiting sites like Florence 

Because this service directly supports a 501(c)(3) nonprofit:

• A portion of travel expenses may be tax-deductible
• Volunteer time is separate from donor benefit weeks
• These experiences create some of the deepest connections to the land and our mission.
