Culinary Voyage to Italy, February  2004
We first went to stay for 5 nights at a bed & breakfast outside Florence, then we took the train to Piemonte for another three nights before returning to Rome.
Set in the hills among olive and vineyards was our domicile. Built originally in the 13th. century. My cozy room and the very comfortable bed.
