Mid winter scene: green fields, gentle breeze and bright day

After a reinvigorating walk you can still enjoy the views from your apartment windows or lazing in the garden with a well deserved glass of wine. In our house, the clock is not an essential object ...

Autumn in Tuscany

Oh, the colors...

Yes, this is definitely our favorite time of the year. October, November and December are the months when "foodies" get what they love: season's delicacies like mushrooms and truffles, fresh olive oil and, the best ingredient, cooler days to indulge in all the above ;)

Fall is when the Nature gives a final blast before the winter sleep and the color carousel begins.

All seasons in Tuscany are equally beautiful but when it comes to serious hiking Fall has its charm . My English Setter seems to appreciate it too.
