Dreaming of Tuscany...

 
 
 
 
 
 
OUTER BEAUTY
There is something about autumn. Every September I just feel an urge to go to Tuscany in Italy. Although I´ve been to Italy many times, I´ve never been to Tuscany. Maybe that´s why it´s a constant dream...It could also have to do with  the fact that I´m totally obsessed with olive oil, it´s as important as red wine, and differ a lot in taste depending on region. And the Italian food in general... can you ever go wrong? Dreaming of a holiday in Tuscany, involving the dramatic scenery as well as olive oil, Italian food and wine, I think I´ve just found a place that offers it all. Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort. Just the name sounds promising. The restaurant offers a special olive oil menu. And you can even plant your own olive tree and name it after you. After the planting you can relax by the pool and in the afternoon take an Italian cookery class with the head chef promising to give away the Italian cooking secrets. If that isn´t enough one can go truffle hunting in the villas' woods...
This is definitely coming on to my must-visit-list-soon...
