Bella Italia 🇮🇹: Toscana & Lombardia

Tuscany… rolling hills, sleepy small charming towns, sunsets, vineyards and orchards, Chianti wine, olives & olive oil, sunflowers, and the birth place of Leonardo da Vinci… yes! That’s Tuscany! 

We stayed at an “agriturismo”** in Tuscany, means we stayed in a home in the countryside that is open to hosting guests with opportunities to connect with the land during the stay. In our case experiencing the vineyard, wine tasting included 😁 what a fabulous connection! 

** Agriturismo: the word comes from agri (agriculture) and turismo (tourism), so it basically means agricultural tourism.

Chianti wine is a beloved dry red wine that goes beautifully with Tuscan cuisine.

Shopping in Italy 🇮🇹

Sunset 🌅

Temperature is much cooler compared to the Amalfi Coast, good time for drinking red wine again!

Short stop but delicious and beautiful, we have to come back to Tuscany!

Next stop: Lombardia, the very north of Italy and the border to Switzerland. 

We are right in the mountains. It’s all about curves, curves and more curves. The drive ridiculous, the view amazing!

Fun fun fun 🚗 💨
