Locanda Casanuova, Tuscany
The Casanuova Estate is more than 350 years old. Carefully restored, the house has twenty rooms overlooking the countryside and two apartments 800m from the main building. The estate is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and gardens. We have a self regenerating swimming pond with soft natural water. Our farm has been run on organic and environmentally friendly principles for thirty years. The orchard and vegetable garden provide delicious freshly harvested ingredients for the kitchen. Using predominantly organic ingredients the Tuscan cuisine is interpreted with creativity and sophistication. Various pasta and pesti, soft melting gnocchi, temptingly aromatic cakes and daily baked breakfast rolls are all home made. ‘Cucina Casanuova’ is the title of my first cookery book. It is based on uncomplicated earthy Tuscan recipes. The changing seasons dictate the menu of the Locanda, and correspondingly the cookbook is also a culinary guide through the year. http://www.organicholidays.co.uk/at/2964.htm
