Bufalina has now been open for just about three months and WOW, it has been one wild ride.

No complaints though as we love what we are doing and all of the wonderful customers [...]

We finally handed in our manuscript to our publisher and are off pursuing our next project, but before I divulge the information I want to share a little story with you about the photo above. While researching for our second book we stayed at a farm located in Paestum in Campania, about an hour south [...]

Believe it or not, the winter we have been experiencing in Southern Italy has been somewhat similar to the weather back in CT. We have seen snow a few times, it has been bitterly bone chilling cold, and trying to take inspiring pictures of farms when everything is dead and brown has proved to be [...]

The Vatican’s presence in Italy may have many believing that Christmas throughout the country to be a devoutly religious day, but we are beginning to think that the holiday is another excuse for Italians to eat.  Throughout this entire trip, we have heard about all of the specialties prepared for Christmas.  In every region, city, [...]

Our itinerary for this trip has us changing farms every four nights and what we look forward to most at every new agriturismi is the anticipation of what our room will be like, as it will become our home, office, and bedroom during our stay. A popular question asked to us about the Italian agriturismi [...]

The countryside of central Italy comes alive in the fall with the rhythm of the olive harvest. The annual event can last for weeks depending upon the weather, and this year’s torrential rains delayed things well into our arrival in Umbria last week. This made our stay at our last farm, Malvarina, particularly special, because [...]

During this trip we have visited our fair share of small Italian towns. We’re not huge museum goers and after seeing about our 200th church, our philosophy about Italian churches has evolved into something like, seen one, seen them all.

We just left a great farm in what has become our favorite region, Abruzzo.  Campo Letizia is a fun and hip agriturismo owned by a young and really enthusiastic couple, Nicola and Livia, who share a passion for preserving indigenous products of their land.  On their own farm they have olive trees, vines, chickens, vegetables, [...]

Cooking in Puglia has been a real treat for us. The cuisine relies heavily on vegetables, cheese, and homemade pastas. However, almonds also play an important role in their cooking, as almond trees flourish throughout the region. They are used mainly in desserts and at Serragambetta, Zia Nina whipped up a traditional treat for us [...]
