Our Favorite cycling, also called quarrata biking team's seniors .. but more A short that seniors are "pigrones" since usually the departure is delayed by a long talk, coffee and beer, depending on the time they decided to meet in "withdrawal" at quarrata in April.
With great joy we received a booking for the Danish part of the team (the Italian side, ie, the husband of Marcella and mine are already there), and expect great performance at the end of April.
What performance you ask? above all you'll that the consumption of beer, wine and brandy. ... but also, at least according to the program for the hills of the great revolutions valdera. Although our samples are more than the bike are samples of the fork. ... And it shows ...

new renovated apartment
As every year, in winter we make some work of restoration / improvement in the structure. ...
This year the boss has decided to make an entrance gate to the hotel and finish the missing part of the boundary wall, surely this work will make a nice "glance" at the Villa and add a little of importance to the structure .
Also completed the roof of the outdoor dining area in front of the apartment nr. 1, last year there has been no time to do it, and during the summer who was staying there during the day took refuge all'ombrea with lots of old oak table and chairs, now there will be no need to "travel" with the table every day.
It also enlarged the service area, both ours and the one dedicated to the guests, because we share the laundry from our guests, so to each his own.
On the program, there also some other work, depending on the weather this year did not give us a hand, it allows ...
's idea is to offrvi more comfort, convenience and why not, something beautiful to see ....
We learned today that APT Pisa has organized several events dedicated to women to be held in Pisa in March.
In the context of the "Welcome to Tuscany", to which we have adhered too, there are dives initiatives dedicated to female travelers, wellness programs, spas, concerts, food and wine event, and more.
We, Tenuta Quarrata, we decided to propose to the ladies who want to visit during the month of March a special weekend, arriving Friday, a welcome drink, dinner in Tuscany. Saturday begins with breakfast in the morning is devoted to the lecture approach to practicing yoga with exercises targeted "to the female," then we'll meet in the afternoon with a massage (you can choose between reflexology, relaxing, shiatsu targeted) and finally a vegetarian dinner. Sunday morning we bid goodbye with a hearty breakfast buffet, and a natural beauty products based on olive oil in homage. The price of this package "all inclusive" is Euro 210,00 per person with accommodation in an apartment two rooms for two people (single supplement EUR 50.00).
See you soon sir ....
Marcella and Silvia
I've often wondered what pushed the northern Europeans to choose Tuscany as half of their summer trips ... now that I've been (in the Netherlands, obviously), the answer seems clear to me in Holland and I guess in the neighborhood feel the lack of sun !
it seems that I discovered the hot water?, a genius, you would think ... but it's just so ... days and days of rain, this season's dark in the morning until after eight o'clock in the morning, you do not see people around until eleven everything is gray, cold and wet.
The large windows of Dutch houses have shutters No tent, every ray of sunshine is welcome, sought, desired.
For us it is strange A short walk along the streets and look into people's homes, their business is done them, cook, reader, sleeper, without realizing it at passersby.
I must say that passers, so to speak, not local "spy" in it, but I was so curious to see inside, I confess, I shoved the nose driven by curiosity.
The houses are small, comfortable and you notice a lot of care and attention to detail, and sometimes you wonder if you look for an apartment or a shop, how the windows are decorated, full of decorative items, candles and plants and flowers.
But the sun, he's hiding, just a beam is people pour in parks, on benches in front of the house, everywhere .. in short sleeves with temperature for us almost "polar".
The desire to accumulate the sun, "recharge your batteries" here is the reason that drives many foreigners in Italy, in addition, of course, food, wine and monuments ... because here, our guests spend their days soaking up the sun by the pool or sitting in the sun outside the apartments, or even the sun in the park ...
We asked ourselves why we found the curtains on the doors and windows folded in drawers, it is often the first thing they do to our guests, take away the tents and put away to never miss a ray of sunshine, and think that we, instead, we protect from the sun with curtains, blinds, pelmets etc ...
Different countries, different customs of the ...
Knows how?
But when breakfast is ready and sevita eating more than usual, the greed takes soppravvento the 0cchio wants its share, it is said ... and then in front of the buffet full of all sweetness gluttony ... We Italians are not used the copious breakfast, so even if "sin" we will never be at the level of foreigners, above all you'll tourists from Northern Europe, Scandinavian, Dutch, Germans are known for abundant breakfasts that we seem lunches. ... orange juice, yogurt, bread, butter, cheese and ham, eggs or omelette, tomatoes, cereals, over?
no, now goes to the sweet, croissant or homemade cake, bread, butter and marmalade, very popular ones made by us, more or apricots, fresh fruit, coffee and gallons of milk, four chiachiere in the company and the time flies ... it is almost time for lunch, but who can swallow anything?
will be granted?
will be "same old", and who cares, women, girls, ladies we are celebrating! Once a year, is sacrosanct perendersi a breath of fresh air in the company of other women, our peers, to chat UNPO, the relax have fun ... do not know about you, but I like the idea .. my husband with great joy and satisfaction makes me good wishes for Santa Claus, but for some reason (who knows what, eh?) do not recognize myself completely in character, I prefer to celebrate International Women's Day, will be reduced, it will be that again, but we are here with us ... you will be greeted in a pleasant environment, with an aperitif and then with a menu specially designed for the palate and taste femininile, alone or in company of your friends here you are welcome ....
expected in 2000, then came past and it seems a distant past, we waited in 2010, and arrived ... with so much water, even snow just does not happen often around here, have arrived in Santa Claus, the only holiday that my husband never fails to remember and can not wait to make me a sharer of his warmest congratulations! Good for him having fun with so little ... now the holidays are really past, after some well deserved rest day we begin to make plans for next season, time flies and in less than no time we get to Easter, which this year birthday falls on the day of Marcella, followed immediately from my ... to save particularly gruesome gloss over the 'year of birth of both, ha, ha, ha, .. (perhaps, after all, best wishes for them there deserve Befana well ...) However, the year started well enough, we booked all our friends, as always, we have some wedding in sight (not in the family, but in the structure), Marcella and I are wondering what to invent to make your stay more pleasant and relaxing ... basically thinks of you, always with his usual dedication due to the great joy that this work gives us, as I often say: work tired but can not ever get bored ... so great is the variety of commitments, persons I meet, the impreavisti (possibly only the good ones, but captain even less beautiful), your needs, desires and requests ... when you need a birthday cake, when the reservation for the Uffizi, the rental car or an outlet for some shopping, it's always a pleasure to meet your needs and see you as happy and pleased to be joining us, and it is even more beautiful to see you back ... or send a nice comment on the site, as did Patrizia, grazie mille, is was a paiacere have you here with us, to celebrate the new year.
capodanno 2010
as he put an old song, we with great pleasure, we get more reservations with names already known, what beauty!
Past (almost) the holidays, the flood that has surrounded us and made it difficult to arrive at our New Year's guests coming back, get back to normal life after the hectic Christmas-New Year period, I think we all promise For next year, no presents, nothing special for New Year, and then regularly at the last minute I think about it ...
Our structure for the holidays, with our great pleasure, was once again full, the dinner went very well, many congratulations to the cooks, we would then we, Marcella and I, we ate, drank and danced, a toast all together in the lounge and then off to dance until the wee hours ..
Bad weather, the only truly terrible, did not give us respite for a moment, but we also enjoyed the fireworks as is traditional, but in the pouring rain, many toasts, lots of good wishes, kisses and wishes, we hope someone comes true!
Now ready and so we are in 2010 and down to the spring and summer ... how time flies ....
Happy New Year to all!
silvia
the nearest end of the year we feel invaded by the desire to meet with friends, relatives, colleagues or fellow students to exchange impressions, greetings and news.
We're usually all taken from work, family or otherwise, the houses are too small to acogliere everyone and the desire to escape from the usual "routine" and many, usually you end up happily together for dinner somewhere ... and this "somewhere" is often a problem because the restaurants are full of people and do not intimacy, one must remember that you are not alone ...
we're only you, our guests, our hall can accommodate about 60 people, but we cook even for smaller groups, and you are sure to be the only ones with all the salon at your disposal, free to listen to the music you like and have a menu "adhoc", designed just for you, how do you like best.
For example, in these days we will be hosting a vegetarian dinner for a group of friends, with so many starters such as cheese and vegetables, couscous with vegetables, polenta, risotto, omelets and a nice dessert to finish the evening ... then it's all still enjoy in the company ...
