From our guide to Italy
A 500-hectare organic farm specialising in Chianina cattle, olive oil and, above all, white truffles. Guido, Gianluca and Marco have worked hard to provide somewhere beautiful to stay in...
Sitting atop the tiny village of Sinio surrounded by rolling hillsides, hazelnut plantations and a multitude of vineyards, this 12th-century castello belonged to the noble Carretto family for some 600 years...
Try as we might to conjure up Italy in our singing, our cooking, our coffee-drinking, we just cannot get near the real thing unless we are there. Italy has a particular charm in having only come together as a modern state in 1870, so Italians still see themselves as being from a region, a town or a village before being 'from Italy'. This gives its people an engaging variety and depth of belonging that affects the food, the architecture and the customs. Whichever part of Italy you want to explore, we can provide you with ready-made friends.
