This is a special place, this place is Tuscany.
My husband and I decided to have our 40th anniversary trip in Italy with some friends during truffle season. We were looking for a home that had a cozy charm, slept 10, and views of the hills of Tuscany.
In Under the Tuscan Sun Frances Mayes wrote “A lifelong insomniac, I sleep like one newly dead every night and dream deeply harmonious dreams of swimming along with the current in a clear green river, playing and at home in the water.”
I didn’t know what she meant until I spent time in this house. The stone floors on my feet, the sweet Tuscan air in my lungs, the way the sun rises and pours light into the kitchen; it’s difficult to put into words but this home has a soul. It’s been fully restored, but you still feel the rhythm of a place that existed 400 years ago. I slept soundly through the night for the first time in years, and so did my husband.
Being able to share a place like this with life long friends was also it’s own special joy. Most of them flew into Pisa. They found their way from the autostrada, to Lucca, and then up a windy road through the pine wood forest to us. Their jaws agape when they arrived, they could hardly speak. Stunned and surrounded by beauty, my husband and I just laughed with a happiness of knowing they too would feel what we did.
This is a special place, this place is Tuscany.
