Media reviews

"The guide, which reads like the journal of a friend who has vetted Italy's finest offerings, describes intimate accommodations from the Veneto to Sicily, all of which embrace the sustainable-food movement...You'll bond with inkeepers and vinters--who just might divulge the secret of living la dolce vita." --Town and Country

"Spiritual home of the Slow Food movement, Italy has always attracted those seeking a simpler, more leisurely way of life. Now visitors can share the fruits of this passion at idyllic farmhouses and rural hotels across the country." --The Guardian (London)

"Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric photography....Packed with practical information, every destination has a tale to tell, and the intimate, anecdotal style is eminently readable...The book has a peaceful, measured cadence, very much like the pace of life in these hidden oases of calm. A sprinkling of delicious local recipes adds a delightful personal touch."  --Italia!
