I found a lovely and inspiring article this morning on a 17-Century Palazzo and just had to share it.
Above, the owners Giovanni & Lucia Guarini.
The castle has been in the family for 4 generations.
There are gorgeous fruit trees, olive trees and vineyards on the property as well.

Hilltop garden in Tuscany
As I had mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been able to travel a bit this summer and my absolute favorite trip this summer was to the beautiful country of Italy. I remember an eight-course meal in Florence, a wonderful market in the village of Poppi and a beautiful garden on a Tuscan hilltop.
There were nine total in our group, so a long table with friends around was easily provided. I’m already looking forward to next year! Below are some of my favorite snap shots from the trip.
After a long train ride from Milan, a Campari & soda at the Four Seasons sounded too good to pass up.
This was such a wonderful hotel in Florence and every evening cocktails on the rooftop made it even more amazing.
Of course, the food and drink was amazing. My favorite restaurant was in a small village near Poppi. Once we found it we had to return every night.
