Don’t look any further for accommodations- this is the place to be!
Mirella is the best hostess and communicator for all your Italian needs!
She helped plan this trip with me for the last year and went way over what is expected when you rent your place to someone. We enjoyed yoga and meditation everyday by our beautiful yoga teacher we brought along with us❤️!! Mirella prepared some very beautiful authentic Italian dinners for our group and gave us so many tips on things to do and see in the local area! The train station is about 20 minutes from Tavernelle.
We took a day trip to Lucca, Florence, Cinque Terre, Wine Tour so easily! We just hired a local driver with a small bus so we could shuttle to the train.
Such local charm in Tavernelle, A Fromaggorie where you can buy your fresh cheese and eggs daily. A baker comes with his truck most days and sells his bread. There is a fisherman who comes and sells his fish from the back of his truck. There is a restaurant almost next door where we spent a lot of time having great meals and wine.
If you are lucky you will see the sheep being bearded across the street by the Border Collies and Australian Shepherds.
We visited the donkeys and horses close by and loved hearing the church bells every hour 🛎. We walked to the Monastery at the top of the mountain and had a beautiful lunch and a magnificent supper.
We were lucky to have Francesco (Somellier) prepare a demonstration and tasting of some special wines from the area- thank-you Francesco. Your passion is evident🍷
The castle has an incredible flower and herb garden. We sat next to the pool and just reflected at the true beauty of Mother Nature and all her wonders. Hummingbirds and Bees were busy at work🌸.
If you want a true Italian Authentic experience away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to visit, you will not be disappointed.
Mirella, Francesco and our new friend Pat, we will always remember the hospitality and friendship you showed us.
Ciao from your Canadian friends,
