I was standing on the terrace of a medieval castle–turned restaurant, watching the sun setting over hills dotted with farmhouses and vineyards, when an Andrea Bocelli song planted itself in my head — clearly my subconscious calling me out for being a walking Tuscan tourist cliché. I sipped my glass of Chianti in spite of myself and snapped another photo. Cliché or not, I was loving every minute of it.
Finding unexpected experiences while traveling is exciting, but the truth is, there are some places we visit simply hoping they’ll meet our (very high) preconceived expectations. Every time I’ve been to Tuscany, it has done that for me, but never so perfectly as the days I spent at Toscana Resort Castelfalfi.
