2012 is FULL of Promise

Having just returned from an idyllic Christmas and New Year R&R at La Collina del Sole we have two great titbits for you – A FABULOUS Bar in our local town Castelnuovo and some upcoming culture in the Lucca Winter Fextival.

NEW BAR Open from 4.30 AM to 10.30 PM. This bar has a new and dynamic ownership by a young man from Fosciandora and is very popular. Delicious breakfasts with freshly squeezed orange juice and freshly made Patisseries, if you sit outside you get a real feel for Castelnuovo in slow motion

Welcome to La Collina del Sole Blog, where you will find advice on where to stay in Northern Tuscaby, how to find award winning restaurants, amazing niche shopping places and news of the latest Special events in Tuscany. To start THE MOST RELAXING PLACE TO STAY

Our first reccomendation is Trattoria Bonnini  -

AMAZING Tuscan Cuisine !. There is an excellent lunch Menu for Euro 10, including house wine. There is also a most amazing a la carte dinning which is best appreciated in the evening. Highly recommended are the homemade Linguini with Truffles, Tagliatta of Beef with Grilled vegetables, all the game dishes are exceptional. The owner has an impressive list and knowledge of wines which are well priced.
