As we often start out our posts with, we like to travel. And we love to travel to places new. But, sometimes some places just bedazzle us, and it’s hard to say no to the allure. What’s funny about it, is that it doesn’t have to be an international “must see” spectacle. It can be something as simple as a perfect bed, or a piece of history nearby. One that we always remember and wish to return to again and again is a rather welcoming retreat in a small town in Italy. Located in the hamlet of Bucine village in the Tuscan part of Italy, Villa Catola is almost like a fantasy, or a dream come true.
