We fell in love with Tuscany
I should say that we travelled a lot in Italy before. But it was either business trips or visiting touristic centers with crowds of tourists, noise, crush, traffic jams and all those things that are so typical for big cities and that we are so seek and tired of! And once our business partner, whose family is from Tuscany, told us that if we want to learn Italy as it is, we should go to Tuscany, as Italy starts from Tuscany! And we decided to go and found via internet absolutely charming place in Gavorrano, Grosseto province – Casa Conti di Sotto. We chose Villa Mimosa, as it seemed to us to be very typical ancient Tuscany architecture. Though Casa is very close to Gavorrano, it is so well hidden in the hills that it is not so very easy to find it for the first time, and only thanks to our landlady Mrs. Laura (lady with excellent housekeeping skills) and her assistant, who met us at the station, we reached our apartments without additional surprises. Due to Casa location, it is very calm and quiet. The surroundings are very picturesque – all hills are covered with forests. The apartments on the territory of the casa is of ancient Tuscany architecture, but it doesn’t prevent you to feel absolutely comfortable there, as all the apartments are upgraded and we had well equipped kitchen with dishwashing machine, wonderful bathroom with all the facilities. And all these modern things are so organically fit into old architecture that we did not feel any discord. There are 2 pools on the territory – one, the smaller, is for children, the other one is for adults. The territory is very big and in case you want to stay in Casa for the whole day – it will not be a boring experience. Casa location makes you come there by car. We spent there 10 wonderful days, travelled a lot, visited many small Tuscany towns, restaurants, tasted Tuscany cuisine and delicious wine and got a delightful feeling that we’ve found soul of sunny Tuscany! Thank you !
