We stay in a farmhouse situated amid olive groves and vineyards twenty minutes south of Florence. There are countless painting subjects from the windows and within a short walk of the farmhouse. Traditional Tuscan dinners prepared by our young hosts will showcase the farm’s exceptional organic wine and olive oil.
There will be day long excursions into Florence to visit key artistic sites and to eat. I lived in Florence for two years in the Sixties. As Head of Outdoor Restoration for the Uffizi Gallery I helped clean up after the disastrous flood of 1966. Because of this experience I am qualified to reveal a Florence inaccessible to the casual tourist.
