Why this package wins for nonprofits
A week in a private Tuscan villa near Cortona is the kind of trip that moves paddles. Twelve guests, one unforgettable table, authentic Italian cuisine, and countryside views that don't fade—this is the package that sits at the top of every auction catalog. The villa's scale alone (room for 12) makes it rare; the included dinner experience and HGA's full travel coordination remove all friction. Your donors aren't buying a brochure promise; they're buying a real, booked, staffed week in one of Italy's most iconic landscapes. And for your nonprofit, the math is simple: zero dollars upfront. If it sells at $7,500, you keep $503. At $10,000, you keep $3,005. At $15,000, you keep $8,005. The reserve price of $6,995 protects HGA's cost; everything above it flows directly to your mission. That's the consignment model at work—your team gets to focus on the ask, not on underwriting risk.
The experience your winner walks into
Your group arrives near Cortona and settles into the private villa—twelve beds, a kitchen, and enough space to spread out or gather around the table. The included dinner experience brings everyone together: authentic Italian cuisine prepared and served, a moment to taste the region without the logistics. In the mornings, you explore Tuscany's charming villages and historic landmarks at your own pace. Some guests linger over espresso; others venture into the countryside. Evenings return to the villa, the table set, the countryside lit by sunset. Seven nights means time to move slowly, to repeat favorite spots, to sit with the rhythm of the region. HGA's concierge and travel assistance are live throughout—restaurant reservations, local advice, last-minute adjustments—so your group never worries about the next detail. This is Cortona and its surrounding landscape, not a manufactured itinerary, but a real place where twelve people you know will remember exactly where they were and who they were with.
