A photo collage hangs in my den reminiscent of the joys my husband Pete and I experienced in Tuscany. Stopping to readjust the frame, I smile fondly at the image of me and Pete ready to enjoy bruschetta and Chianti from a stem-less glass, which we learned is practical and casual for every day wine drinking. We were still wearing our aprons, mine ...  Leer Más

Exploring Tuscany in a Fiat…Mamma Mia! My traveling companion and I met up with another friend from Rome in charming San Gimignano. With no particular plan, we set out in his little Fiat 500. Getting directions in English can be daunting, but hearing them in Italian is a comedic symphony! Throw a male driver in the mix, and watch out! At ...  Leer Más

Onze bruiloft in Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina (Toscane) In het najaar van 2010 zijn wij getrouwd in Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina, de plaats waar we elkaar 13 jaar daarvoor hadden ontmoet. Met onze dierbare vrienden en familie hebben we daar in de Cecina vallei aan een lange tafel genoten van de meest goddelijke Toscaanse specialiteiten; de ...  Leer Más

Last September I had the good fortune to be celebrating a significant birthday with three girl friends who were also celebrating such birthdays. While in Florence where we started our grand adventure, during an attempt to meander around Florence on a beautiful sunny day with the goal of getting some exercise and reaching the Boboli Gardens all ...  Leer Más

Our love affair of Tuscany started 40 years ago when, as part of our great OE (overseas experience) we taught for a year in Livorno and were thrown in at the deep-end of Italian life. We didn’t speak a word of Italian, but, as Livorno doesn’t have many non-Italian tourists, we had to learn the language quickly, or we would have starved! This ...  Leer Más

I am writing this as quickly as I can. I don't have a computer so have been hiding under a table at an internet cafe until, just now, a large, flatulent woman went to the toilet, leaving her screen unattended and I have seized my chance to tell you my story in the modest hope that I may be reunited with my dear Pier Paolo once again. 3 years ...  Leer Más

In 2009 Tuscany played host to my holiday of a lifetime. This was not just because of Tuscany itself; the emotional sunsets, the hills, the wines, the warmth and the life, but something about that particular moment in time in the lives of all of us present. We were four girlfriends all going through phases of change in our lives, changes which ...  Leer Más

What is it about a place that helps you retrieve and relive a memory of a special moment or two in time? The kind of place where you can be exposed to so many wonderful scents in the air if you just take the time to do nothing at all but go for a walk in the morning. With your best friend if possible. Who also grew up on a dairy farm like you and ...  Leer Más

It was a day, not really in sync what we had in mind when we planned our vacation in Tuscany. It was a cold, damp, windy, rainy May morning, when we crawled out of our refuge Il Giuncheto just above Castelfranco di Sopra. So, apparently, major sightseeing was not an option, but we still wanted to do something. To see something. To experience ...  Leer Más

It was June 2011 and we were heading north from Rome with only our GPS. Hoping that the recently uploaded Italian maps would find our remote Villa, we were ecstatic when the Garmin guided us to the gated entry of Villa Insoglio, just as the sun was setting. Our good friends, Bob, Julie, Monte, Ann, Doug and Lisa had already arrived and they ran ...  Leer Más
