I’m just returning from a week in Tuscany and Florence. We stayed at Monteverdi Tuscany a boutique hotel nestled in the restored medieval village of Castiglioncello del Trinoro. The hotel blends rustic charm with modern elegance. The rooms are beautifully designed, we had a villa that was perfect for a family with a gorgeous kitchen. The hotel serves farm-to-table food at their restaurants which we loved. The staff was amazing and a highlight of our stay along with the cooking class we did one evening on property. After Tuscany we went to Collegio all Querce, the newest addition to the Auberge collection. Collegio alla Querce is a luxurious hotel set in a restored 16th-century boarding school. It features elegant rooms with stunning views, several dining options, and a beautiful spa. They did an amazing job renovating this property but still keeping the old world charm. The restored frescos were a highlight for me along with the interior design. We spent most of our time by the picturesque pool swimming and eating el fresco (the pizza was insane). It’s just minutes from the city center, it offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the center of Florence. We will definitely be returning to this property!
A couple NEW things….
- Viani Milano x Lily Sisto shoe collaboration dropped today. Check it out here. My favorites are the gingham & stripe (love a mary Jane).
- I’ve been looking for a red leather belt and found this Gucci one in Italy.
- I needed a new pair of sunglasses and bought these Gucci ones. I love the shape of them.
- I love these two new button-downs I got from Rochelle Behrens (this one & this one). Runs big, xsmall for me.
- I took the FRE light weight 50 SPF sunscreen on my trip and it’s my new favorite. It’s lightweight and not greasy.
- Love these high rise pleated cotton poplin pants I bought to wear on the airplane but I have been wearing them a ton.
- I packed the Hermes Chypre sandal on my trip and they are so comfortable. I’m eying a new color way.
