Glorious--what a treat! Fabulous pictures pulled me right in, and I was as happy to be there as you were to be home. Thanks for the special moments.

Tino, thank you for transporting us back to Tuscany! From the breathtaking orange sunsets and mesmerizing landscapes to the pappardelle, the bustling mercato, and even the infamous bureaucratic driving tests—I feel like I’m right there! Your touch of humor adds the perfect spice to your storytelling. Until the next adventure!

Bentornato Tino, and how I would love to visit your Mercato, the food looks soooo fresh, although I probably shouldn’t complain as we do have markets here that sell a huge variety of fruit and vegetables. I think the only markets I have been to in Italy would be in Florence, Santa Margherita Ligure and Volterra - at a time at which the latter two were closing unfortunately. Glad to read that you have got your first booking and I love your garden, so pretty

Tank you Sally, I rarely miss the weekly mercato here in Colle. At times I don’t really need anything but just walking around it’s entertaining in itself. Have a wonderful week.

merci Tino

a simple transaction becomes a moment of connection, a piece of tradition passed from one hand to another...grateful for this post...to hear the bells toll, smell the lavender, and accompany you to the market

Hi Tino, buon ritorno. We are exploring the possibility of visiting this summer again. If we do, can you get a bike with a sidecar for Liz😊.
