Tuscany through my eyes: Week 21
I love wheat. Not just in the form of pasta, foccaccia and bread… but of ears of wheat too!

The spring is finally here: the countryside is green, the sky is blue. My favourite time of the year!
Tuscany is very rich in hot springs: these are my favourite thermal springs in Southern Tuscany.
The camellias in bloom, the old grey stone bench and the stone buildings make the square of our home village a picture perfect corner of Tuscany.
Waking up to this kind of view is not bad at all! But Pisa on St. Patrick’s day was also awesome!
The highest mountain in Tuscany, a fabulous destination for day trips and home to one of my favourite churches, Pieve di Santa Maria ad Lamulas.
This year we have had a long, cold winter, and the countryside is a bit “behind”. But the first blossoms are coming!
Mid February is the time when the first flowers appear, the fields turn green and the warm sunny days invite you to take long walks in the countryside.
The gorgeous morning light, when the sun rays paint the picture perfect countryside of Tuscany
I have mixed feelings towards (travel) literature set in Tuscany because, if on the one hand they it is the best promotion for our region (and therefore, indirectly for our rentals too), on the other it sets expectations so high that we sometimes feel it might be difficult to live up to them
This blog is written by a born and bred Tuscan who wishes to share her love for this region with as many people as possible. It's about living here, but also about travelling, learning, experiencing, and enjoying life in Tuscany.
It's about feeling at home in Tuscany.
A wonderful opportunity for the independent traveller seeking privacy and a pleasant atmosphere
