  1. The best meal in Italy was when we stumbled on a family run restaurant in Tuscany escaping a thunder storm. I’d never find it again or have the same experience but it was amazing, they were so hospitable and just kept bringing more and more amazing food. You can really taste the difference with really good freshly made pasta! Sadly I can’t remember where it was or what it was called to recommend it :(

  2. Another 2 fabulous Relais & Chateaux for foodies:
    Hotel Certosa di Maggiano in Siena (chef Paolo Lopriore restaurant IL CANTO), and L’Albereta in Erbusco, Brescia (chef and Restaurant Gualtiero Marchesi)
