Wedding in Tuscany

Is it allowable, to duplicate the wedding of friends for your own selfish purposes? Because I truly could not imagine a more perfect location or wedding than the one I just got back from in Tuscany. My friends Jen and Leigh commandeered the movie-set-perfect Borgo Casabianca for an entire long weekend. The villa is in a small town called Asciano, about 90 minutes from Florence.

It was all so very Stealing Beauty. I kept waiting for them to play Nina Simone.

Do you see what I mean? This was the wedding dinner, where chandeliers hung from the trees and flowers were in abundance.

Borgo Casabianca was so severely beautiful, it was eye-watering. (The more I travel, the less I need. Although I still like free wifi, which Casabianca has!) That bed was pretty damn comfortable, and what you can’t see is all the EXTRA PILLOWS they provided. And the chocolates.

We went to Pienza one afternoon. It was like a postcard. (A UNESCO World Heritage Site too.)

I had this for lunch in Pienza. I have no idea where. It was a small place, with a triangular courtyard. This was amazing. So simple.
