Book reference: The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
Recuperate your romance in Umbria like The English Patient. If you fell in love with the film you can visit some of the locations used in its filming—the villa used is just outside Pienza and the church scenes were filmed in the Church of San Francesco in Arezzo. And if you fell in love with the book you can imagine every villa you see along the road to be the one Count Almásy arrives at covered in bandages, and every orchard to be the one Hana bathes and walks in. If strolling or cycling amongst orchards and vineyards isn't healing enough, remember there's also the healing power of all that fresh produce, cooked in the hearty traditional Italian style, and a healthy dash of locally made vino. This place is ideal for lovers of good food, wine and beautiful architecture and scenery.
