My ask this week is for you or someone you know who would like to go to Italy and experience Authentic Farm stay in the Hills of Umbria near Tuscany. This is an amazing place. I have taken other women on this same itinerary. You wake up in the morning on this 12th century farm with the origanal wood beams in your stone villa complete with rustic fireplace and stone floors to the roosters crowing, walk the hillside path and discover a white albino peacock sitting on the fence. Pick fresh flowers and make them into soap. Met with amazing breakfast for all to share, make gnocchi with Daniella and help cut fresh strawberries for the homemade jam. Then evening bonfire with wood-fired pizzas made to order. This is just one of the 9 days of this journey. https://www.justgirlstravel.com/italian-farm-stay-2025.html
