Travel Tuesday: Conti di San Bonifacio
In the rolling fields of Tuscany’s Maremma region, this rustic farmhouse sits neatly on its own poggio (hill) with panoramic countryside views. An antidote to the bustling atmosphere of nearby Siena and Florence, Conti di San Bonifacio is the ultimate relaxation point from which to admire the Tuscan countryside and enjoy a glass of the estate’s own red wine. So you can have your Under The Tuscan Sun moment…not that I have EVER watched that movie, no, me, never.

Say Hay to the Haylofts.

!

Every so often a hotel comes around that makes me reevaluate my idea of a perfect pad. And thanks to the Haylofts, I am now craving a collection of 17th-century farm buildingsOn the steep slopes of the Italian Alps, near the village of Chiavenna, is a small hamlet of 300-year-old haylofts, today converted into luxury cottages. Despite its seclusion, Zurich and Milan are just two hours away by car, and Lake Como and St. Moritz are less than an hour away. The Mini Cooper-sized cabins aren’t lacking in cool. Expect a bohemian feel, with hand-painted walls, SMEG appliances and custom cabinetry. Bring it.

Travel Tuesday: Italy

I’m well schooled in the School of Asia, but when it comes to Italy, I’m barely making the grade. Yes, I’ve traveled through Florence, Rome and Capri (to name a few) but this summer, I plan on furthering my education with a course on the Coasts.

From cruises through Venice to the amazing Amalfi, check out Italy on JetsetterIt’s not joke… we’d be silly to mess with this mafioso.
