After i returned from vacation in Italy i jumped right back into my
working routine. My recent weeks were packed with different jobs and projects
and unfortunately i had absolutely no time to take care of my blog. Sometimes
it can be tough running different business at the same but when you love what
you do there is not space for complaining at all – even when your plan of being consistent with blogging get screwed up every week. As you may have seen on my
instagram i was finally able to enjoy a wonderful road trip to explore one of
my favorite countries in Europe - Italy. It was something that i always wanted
to experience but i never thought it would turned out to be one of the best
vacations i’ve had so far. It was nothing that i’ve planned earlier this year and so
it was pretty exciting when the decision was made back in July. 6 stops in 9
days (Verona, San Gimignano, Siena Pozzo della Chiana/Fontelunga, Cortona,
Firenze) – sounds tough but actually managable. We found so many cute places
and enjoyed our daily ‚vino session’ at different bars that i can only
recommend allowing yourself to stroll around and check out what ever you want.
Because that’s exactly what we did in Verona, San Gimigano and Firenze, and
luckily we never got dissapointed.
One of our highlight was definitely the stay at the wonderful Villa‚Fontelunga’ run by a english/italian couple. Since we were invited for two
nights located in the middle of Tuscany we were super excited to experience
something else than a typical hotel. You not only get a beautiful view across
the Tuscan countryside towards the hilltop town of Cortona (i guess a lot of
you know the movie ‚Under the Tuscan Sun) but the truly offer a ‚home from
home’ atmosphere which is hardly to find.
Villa Fontelunga has 9 bedrooms with en-suit bathrooms, a large pool and
jacuzzi and a tennis court and can be booked from Easter and runs through to
New Year. If you plan to have a little more privacy the also have two little
Villas called ‚Gallo’ and ‚Galetto’ right behind the main house.
I have to say that we were really impressd right from the beginning
because each corner has its own look and vibe. Unexpectedly we also met two
other couples which made our stay even more special. Since Cortona is just around the corner we visited this lovely town for a couple of hours before we went to our last stop - Firenze. All in all i can truly
recommend this place if you are looking for something a little bit more intimate - and also the fact that furry friends are more than acceptable makes this even more special.
