Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Open Escape to Tuscany and you are there, heart and soul, abducted by a photo of the Castello Ripa D'Órcia. The 15th-century crenellated castle sits high above a valley of olive groves, wheat fields, and vineyards. Skim some more and you're exploring the rocky isle of Giglio among the mint, myrtle, and lavender. Or you land in Torre le Cannelle, an isolated stone tower by the sea from which lookouts used to scan the waters for Barbary pirates. Covering everything from olive and grape harvests to Carrara marble, the Apuan Alps, monasteries, sulfurous spas, medieval cities, the cowboys of Maremma, and the artistic glories of Florence, the tiny dream book also has a chapter of practicalities (with maps, directions to these lovely places, and lodging options that range from villas and castles to hermitages), providing the necessary details to allow your body to catch up to your soaring Tuscan fantasies. --Stephanie Gold
