Your Host ~ L. Serenella Leoni

I am the owner of Toscana Mia, a business devoted to passionate living. 

My own passion is to work with clients who want to experience the true Italy by providing them with elegant Italian villa rentals, Tuscany wedding assistance and sharing the latest news, advice and tips on the Tuscan lifestyle

I am a native Tuscan now living in the San Francisco area.  Yearly, I teach people the Tuscan passion-centered way of life by taking them on transformational experiences in Tuscany. My intimate, hand crafted Toscana Mia vacations emphasize the "real," less-touristed aspects of this fascinating region of Italy. 

It is not uncommon for clients who come with me to Tuscany to re-discover their creativity, dreams, and passions and improve their lives. 

My unusual background, which encompasses a deep and equal understanding of two cultures, provides me with the distinct advantage of being able to create an authentic Tuscan experience, with the deluxe amenities and services expected by sophisticated U.S. travelers

My 30 year career on two continents has spanned senior positions in the travel industry the corporate world, and banking and has allowed me to wear many hats.  My clients include Visa International, the University of Pisa, General Electric, NASA business owners, writers, college professors, domestic goddesses, teachers, spiritual, artists and authors.

I am a regular contributing writer to the national edition of Examiner.com as the "Tuscany Lifestyle Examiner."  I have been featured or quoted in CBSMarketWatch.com, Chico's clothing catalogues and website, the San Francisco Chronicle, Vive Magazine, Healing Lifestyles and Spas Magazine, Gentry Magazine, the Kansas City Star, the Toronto Star, the Vancouver Sun, TangoDiva.com and other publications.
