Tuscan Retreat, Winery Tour, Yoga, and more!

Here is a picture of the bountiful breakfast prepared daily by the hotel chef.

Tuscan travelogue

Although some would prefer to stay closer to Florence a great way to see the area by train is to stay in a smaller town. Biking, golf, skiing, spa wellness and horseback riding are popular activities in Pistoia. Little did we know what would await us at breakfast. The highlight was the chef prepared tart made with a delicious fruit jam, decorated with a lattice criss-cross design, cooked in the stone oven, and sprinkled with powdered sugar.  The staff was very accommodating and will prepare individual lunches to go upon request. If on a tour with a full day then an early evening antipasto plate with wine for guests is also available since Italian dinner time starts at 8pm. A pool is being built on the hotel grounds which upgrades the allure of spending a week there this May! Yoga, a winery tour, relaxation, spa treatments, Florence, local cuisine, and more fresh tarts await. And we do mean fresh as in tasty homemade goodness!

Our upcoming Tuscan tour will have daily yoga and a regional winery tour to enhance the week of Italian lifestyle immersion. Yoga mats will be provided, wine pairings with group dinners, optional activities include spa treatments, golf, biking, cooking classes, photography, and painting.

The Famous "Oyster Bar"

If you are looking for a place with some famous Big Apple history, rustic ambiance and reasonable seafood prices this is definitely one to add to a day tour of NYC. Established in 1959 and run by the same family since day one when its doors opened. Here you will find yourself hanging with the locals in true NYC fashion.

The selection of oysters here is impressive. If you like surf and turf they have it! A lobster dinner promo was $28.95 in March during the weekend of the New York Times Travel Show.

I spotted this restaurant relic in its own right on my way back from MOMA about 10 minutes away. If you want a great museum to check out on a city trek be sure to stop here. The Google Art Project is featured on their website where you can create a virtual album of your own favorites from museums around the world.
