Visiting Villa Lena for two nights after a trip to Florence, our very short stay didn’t feel so at all. We came with our children, aged six and one. This is what we remember:

• driving up the hill: the Tuscan scenery
• swimming, swimming, swimming!
• watching the fireflies at night outside our bedroom window
• pizza night and meeting the local pizza master
• dancing on the yoga deck
• visiting the artists’ studios
• painting by the swimming pool with Oliver and Luna
• finding a unicorn
• making friends with Margot (the chef-in-residence)
• evening meals altogether
• a heart made of flowers
• colouring in at breakfast time
• making a daisy crown on our walk to Toiano Vecchio
• gifts from new friends

In short: magic and community.

 

Thank you Jenny for visiting us. It was a real pleaseure to welcome you. We hope to see you very soon!
