The People Behind Your Experience
Two friends with a shared passion for tennis, authentic Italian culture, and creating unforgettable experiences.
Gintas Lapinskas
Co-Founder & Tennis Director
With over 15 years of competitive tennis experience and PTR certification, Gintas brings professional-level coaching to an intimate, personalized setting. His journey from competitive player to passionate coach has taught him that the best improvements happen when technique meets joy.
"I don't just teach tennis—I help people rediscover why they fell in love with the game. Whether you're a beginner finding your footing or an advanced player refining your craft, my goal is the same: leave the court better than you arrived, with a smile on your face."
Expertise
Francesco De Marco
Co-Founder & Cultural Director
A native Tuscan with deep roots in Florence's art and culinary scene, Francesco is your guide to the authentic soul of Italy. His family has called this region home for generations, and he knows every hidden vineyard, family-run trattoria, and cobblestone street worth exploring.
"Tuscany isn't just where I live—it's who I am. I want to share the Italy that tourists never see: the slow lunches that turn into dinner, the winemakers who pour with stories, the morning markets where locals shop. This is the Tuscany I grew up in, and the one you'll experience."
Brings to the Table
Our Vision
We met through a shared love of tennis and a frustration with typical vacation retreats—too impersonal, too rushed, too manufactured. We wanted to create something different: intimate groups, real connections, and the kind of experience you'd have if you were staying at a friend's villa in Tuscany.
That's exactly what this is. We handle everything—from your first serve to your last glass of wine—so you can simply show up and immerse yourself in the experience. No crowds, no stress, just you, your racket, and the best of Tuscany.
