Earthly Paradise


Tuscany - already the sound of it evokes the smell of jasmin and roses, lavender and thyme. Escaping the heat and hectic of Florence the calm and fresh breeze is as enjoyable as it was for the Florentines escaping the city in the 14th century from the dangers of the plague.

The constructed landscape with rows of tall and slender cypresses, silver-grey rows of olive trees,
orderly patterns of fields and orchards we know from the background in the Renaissance paintings.


Numerous bird's twitter in the early morning and then a nightinggale's song at night helps to achieve complete relaxation and peace.  Every day here becomes a memorable day.
