We spent a wonderful week in the Tuscany region of Italy. Our choice of the picturesque B&B, “Il Rosolaccio” (“The Poppies, in English), was a significant component. It is beautifully located at the top of an expansive vineyard, with a wonderfully updated group of buildings (rooms, apartments and dining area). Stephen, who manages the property, and his son, George, were terrific in providing personalized service, advice on restaurants and surrounding sites, not to mention spending time to discuss some background and history of the property. The staff was very cordial, and eager to respond to any requests we made. We experienced a memorable one-on-one cooking class with Marisa, the in-house chef. Our dinners were served at 7 in the evening, overlooking gorgeous views of the sunset over the vineyard laden hills to the west. Daily breakfast was included on the terrace each morning, featuring fruit, cereal, Danish, home-made yogurt, coffee cakes, boiled eggs, a meat tray, juices and coffees. The swimming pool was clean and beautifully situated, overlooking the hills and valley below. The ambiance of this B&B was calm relaxation, surrounded by ancient towns and villages which we explored by car. A perfect Tuscan getaway!
