My two adult daughters and I had a wonderful, relaxing time at Casina Dell'acquaborra! We had a late train ride getting in, no car, and taxis were not available. The owner very graciously offered to give us a ride from the train station to the villa and also gave us an early ride back to the station when we left. Really appreciate how accommodating he was!
The owner also arranged a cooking class with staff from his restaurant. We had so much fun! They showed us how to make traditional Tuscan dishes and altered recipes to support our vegan request. The meal was delicious! They all sat and ate with us on the balcony overlooking the rolling hills. We felt like we were being welcomed into an Italian family! Great hospitality!
The weather was warm and we were able to sunbathe around the pool. We listened to the goats tinkling their bells as they walked through the nearby pasture to graze. We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets. We walked into Levane and shopped at the Coop and made our own pasta dish with the sweet local tomatoes. If we'd had more time, we would have done more exploring, but as it was, we were content to soak up the atmosphere of a non-touristy area of Tuscany.
