Slow Living // 'Lo Struscio'

A lifestyle emphasizing slower approaches to aspects of everyday life

Our Surroundings

A stroll down the forest, a stop for a chat with a neighbour or an enjoyable aperitivo to recount your day with a glass of wine and a bowl of olives. These types of daily activities are artful in their ability to melt stress. Italians have this knack of putting all their worries aside, even for a moment, to enjoy their surroundings and interact with their community. They have perfected this lifestyle in an activity called lo struscio- Italian answer to Slow life. We are all about lo struscio here in Villa Sole

Food and Cooking

What is the most important reason to visit Italy? To EAT, of course! Try Tuscan cuisine which is appreciated all over the world for its fine, natural and flavourful ingredients in mediterranean dishes. We are incredible proud of our cuisine. As well as creating your meals everyday, our fabulous in-house chef will teach you how to make the traditional Italian dishes using the best local products. We will introduce you to Tuscan cuisine, and show you how to bake bread, make pasta, best tiramisu and homemade limoncello using a closely-guarded family recipe!

Mediterranean-style diet has many health benefits, from reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer, to living a longer life. Check our next available wellbeing/cooking retreat
