Top Florence Wildlife Watching

Retreat to the peace and tranquility of the Apennine mountains on the border of Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna and Marche and the home of chef Stefano Corvucci. You can start each day in deep meditation along the banks of the River Tevere, which begins its long journey to Rome as a small invigorating brook. Following the meditation, you will go to the markets and focus on the day’s meals. The chef and you will engage with the local merchants in a discussion as to the origins and production of the ingredients. Chef will talk about how each ingredient plays its role and the historical and cultural significance of the food you will prepare. You’ll pay attention to the cuts you make, the fragrance and the sensations of each food you touch. This is the essence of mindful cooking. While you can spend everyday cooking, you can enjoy the solitude and beauty of the mountains. Go biking or hiking. Picnic near a waterfall. Visit cultural sites
