Tuscany
One month in this beautiful old 17th century farmhouse in Chianti was enough to make me never want to leave. The wine, the fresh food, the people, the little villages, the sunsets are all so beautiful. Everywhere you look is like a painting. Even when I was inside I always caught myself wanting to be near a window just to see those rolling hills.
