It's rare to see places like Rome and Venice covered in snow, but when it happens...it is BEAUTIFUL!

Having a debate here...which view of the Florence Christmas tree do you like more, in day time or at night?

08/12/2016

Today in Italy we celebrate the Immaculate Conception. It is the "official" start of the Christmas season and here in Florence it is when the Christmas tree is officially lit! Enjoy the holiday season, wherever you are!

Do your autumn plans include a Chianti vineyard in Tuscany? We think they probably should...

22/09/2016

Autumn is here! While there is no pumpkin spice, we still think the autumn in Italy is still pretty nice!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Italy and all those affected.

It's Monday...and one cup just isn't enough. May we suggest the "doppio", which is a double shot of espresso? And the top layer of "crema" is not actual cream, it's the result of a perfectly crafted espresso coffee. So double up and conquer the week!

Tuscany has so much to offer. Are you a country mouse or a city mouse? Dimmi.

Someone asked us about a refreshing summer drink...we thought this post from last year would fit the bill!

Looking for something totally refreshing and totally Italian? How about whipping up a spritz for your next aperitivo? Very easy and very refreshing, take a glass of ice and add Aperol, prosecco and a splash of soda water. Garnish with an orange slice and serve with an Italian accent to start your summer social hour off right!

No matter where you are, shine. (We suggest shining in Italy).

Where Would you Go Wednesday...classic Florence or tempting Assisi? Both will steal your heart...
