Apple picking in Tuscany!

We awoke to yet another beautiful day in Tuscany and a couple of hours was spent apple picking with good friends. The month of July was unusually wet for this region, however it does seem to have boosted this years fruit crops....and there is nothing nicer than a slice of mature Pecorino cheese with a crisp juicy apple and a nice glass of red to wash it down with...Salute! 

Whilst writing we had another fabulous review from guests that stayed at the Chestnut Barn during August...

If you too would like to stay at the Chestnut Barn, please check out our website at www.achestnutbarnintuscany.com  where we are already taking bookings for next year!

Summer at the Chestnut Barn

The Chestnut Barn is available to rent on a weekly basis from May 2015 through until the beginning of October 2015. Bookings are already being taken, so for full information on the Chestnut Barn visit www.achestnutbarnintuscany.com 

Come and stay and follow in my footsteps, visit the beautiful cliff top towns and immerse yourself within the wonderful Italian countryside.....take a stroll through the ancient chestnut groves and enjoy the breathtaking views from the gazebo. 

Relax by the private pool that is surrounded by chestnut and oak forest and sits nestled on the hillside overlooking the mountain, Monte il Castello. The absence of ambient light is an astronomers dream and during the month of July is only rivaled by the natural spectacle created by the fireflies. 

We look forward to seeing you soon....

What a year!

WHAT A YEAR!!

So much has happened this year that I have unfortunately let my Blog suffer, but hopefully now that I am back on track,  I will be able to dedicate more time and provide you with regular updates from the Chestnut Barn.

Much of the beginning of this year was spent finishing the sequel to the book 'A Chestnut Barn in Tuscany' which over the last year became a Number One bestseller on Amazon. The story continues now in 'Back to Tuscany and the Barn' which was published in digital format on the 29th July by Autharium, and is now also available in paperback through Amazon. If you do get the chance to read it, a review would be much appreciated....Ciao Catherine x
