Florence, Italy – lunch in Tuscany – Tuesday

28 January 2010 by Amy 5 Comments

One of my absolutely FAVORITE parts of our whole Italy trip was this lunch – arranged by Accidental Tourist as part of our day-long Tuscany excursion.

Homemade lunch. In a Tuscan private home. In the kitchen/dining area where this sweet woman entertains her own friends and family.

It was magical ….

A couple shots below of the home ….. the steps lead up to the main floor (I think the floor below is where the same company hosts cooking classes)

I couldn’t even tell you all the different dishes we were served ….

But we started out … with my favorite: bell peppers

Honestly one of my favorite meals EVER.

Thus concludes our Tuscany excursion. It was sad to head back home. …. although ‘home’ that night was a b&b less than a block away from the Duomo in Florence so we survived ..

    Gorgeous scenery. Great picture of Andrew sitting on the window ledge enjoying the sun and view.

    This made my heart hurt.

    When are we going back?

    It was the second time visiting Christiana’s house for me…and every bit as wonderful as the first time.

    Seriously…when are we going back?

    I agree with Angela, my heart hurts by not being there and living in that wonderful home. Thanks so much Angela and Devo for treating the wedding guests to that magical excursion. You guys are the best. Also, what a beautiful place to spend the day with Wife.
