Welcome to my special paradise on Earth. A hill in Chianti Classico, the highest in altitude and the lowest in tourist contamination - that's where I chose to live 32 years ago. I only spent 19 million liras for this colonic house, but there was no road, no water, no electricity, no nothing... I put my hands to work and now there's everything - and even more.
The air here is thin, the oil smells of rosemary and pennyroyal, the wine tastes of blueberries and violets. The bread is made with no salt and could taste a bit dull at first, but just by laying on it some homemade prosciutto bought at Enrico's grocery in Lucolena square and maybe some 15 days old soft pecorino cheese, you'll realize that this tasteless Tuscan bread is brilliant.
The Tuscany villa in its current generic shape is around 100 years old, built on a much older building going back to the Middle Ages. It has been completely restructurated and renovated in 1996. The villa is surrounded by woods of chestnuts and oaks, a lovely lawn and terraces going down towards the valley. On the first terrace, one level below the house, lies a beautiful swimming pool, overlooking a magnificent view and shaded by two sheds and some olive trees. To the house's side a pergola and a large loggia allow some relaxation when a fresh breeze blows in hot summer days.
