Peter: Thanks so much for the report on the restaurant. The Only reason
we were going as far south as San Vincenzo was that restaurant, so the
report really makes a difference in our trip plans. A friend loaned me
the May 2000 copy of the magazine Wine Spectator. It had a large
section on Tuscany. That was my first introduction to the option of
lodging in Agritour type . I found their website from the magazine. The
free lance writer for part of the section lives in Tuscany, so I thought
she was giving good advice. The article on the restaurant said it was the
best in Italy. The Agritourismo we selected from that magazine was
booked.
The only other books I used were Karen Brown's books because I wanted
rural places with parking. I thought for the first trip to Italy with a
car, we needed to avoid the cities. I was looking for lodging to park,
use as a base, and take trains to cities, rural tours by car. Zine
information has saved our trip. I imagine those of you who are so
experienced in travel in Europe cannot remember how it is to plan a trip
for the first time. Thanks to you all. E./Texas
