La Dolce Vita

Days at Villa Madellena seem long, busy, and filled with light and warmth. It is possible to spend the day doing nothing at all, or taking field trips to neighboring towns. At the end of the day, we enjoy recalling the events of the day and sharing dinner.  Tonight,  Tuscan Chef Allesandro comes to cook for us.  We are all especially relaxed and ready to enjoy the foods of Tuscany. Life is sweet.

Cocktail hour at the end of the day.  Taylor, Sue, Kevin and John discussing important things before dinner.
Chairman of the board - relaxing before dinner.

Al fresco dining - it's like we're in a movie set.
