ITALY Voted Best Destination for Food & Wine
No Comments
Not just top for fashion … Trip advisor has recently voted Italy as the TOP destination for food and wine, no surprise there ! It must seem funny to Italians that locally grown food is trendy, because they’ve been eating it for centuries. The ingredients may be simple—extra-virgin olive oil, fresh tomatoes, pecorino cheese, herbs etc. Wines (e.g., Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and the dessert wine Vin Santo) are equally excellent. (Trip Advisor 2011). Why not come over to Marche, we can advise you on where to stay.

Rome has such an atmosphere she has been the set for over 70 films from “The Dolce Vita” to more recently, “Angels and Demons” and “Eat Pray Love”. Personally I think Julia Roberts (or Elizabeth Gilbert) could have stayed in Rome for all three, not just the Eat section of her travels and added shopping to her list!

Venice, hometown of the Selandari brothers, is a wonderful place to visit, but I’ve never seen the other islands.
