Tuscany
Tuscany is one of the most popular destinations in Italy for tourists, and it’s not difficult to understand why. The region combines delicious wine, stunning views of rolling vineyards and natural beauty, not to mention historic art cities which are homes to works by the great Italian masters. The two most notable cultural epicentres are Florence and Siena, which were famous rivals back in the Middle Ages when they were both independent powers.
Acquaviva
A charming hotel set in a converted 19th-century farm estate amid vineyards and historic hamlets in Piedmont’s beautiful Langhe wine district. There’s a panoramic pool, a revitalising wellness area and a Michelin-starred restaurant taking on a gastronomic journey through the region’s flavours.
Avignonesi
You’ve heard of organic farming, but have you heard about biodynamic viticulture? If not, then why not head to Avignonesi to learn about this, philosophical form of farming that reflects the ideas of philosopher Rudolph Steiner and his belief that everything in nature is interconnected by resonance or vibe.
