Dreaming of Tuscany

The Bryn Mawr Film Institute posted about their contest for a stay at a villa in Tuscany for a week. It looked like a nice place but I decided not to buy into it. It was a hundred and fifty bucks and just felt like a waste of money since I was definitely not gonna win and it doesn't include airfare. But over the next two days I couldn't stop thinking about it. If I did win, by some miracle, who would I ask to go with me? It's for a total of six people but that's clearly a couples thing, since there are only three bedrooms. Okay, so which two people would I wanna go with. Instantly I thought of Kayla and Isabella. I am dying to have these ladies meet because I think they would really hit it off. What better excuse than a week together in Italy? I bit the proverbial bullet and entered, feeling at least a little better knowing that the money would go to help maintain the BMFI, which is a lovely theatre. Maybe I could convince Bella and Kay to take a longer vacay with me and we could go down to Positano for a few days and stay at Casa Giovanna, if David is still renting it out. Wouldn't that just be the trip of a lifetime?? Cross your fingers for us, kids!

One grand-prize winner will receive a seven-night stay at the picturesque Tuscan Beauty with up to five lucky guests, along with $800 cash. 

Savor a taste of la dolce vita from the sanctuary of your stunning Italian villa. Perched in the hills near Cortona, your two-story Tuscan home has been lovingly restored with three bedrooms, a private pool, and a fully equipped Italian kitchen. Vaulted wooden beams, stone detailing, and a charming wood-burning fireplace make for elegance and relaxed comfort.

A sun-flooded living space opens directly onto the outdoor terrace with breathtaking views of the valley below. Prepare an authentic Tuscan meal in the outdoor stone oven, best savored alfresco on the spacious stone terrace. Feel yourself unwind as you stroll the shaded gardens and arbors then cool off in the private pool overlooking the rolling hills.
