Ciao Late Summer,
You’ve arrived so softly, without asking for any attention.
My body got used to your warmth.
I slow down, and something inside me softens.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my Tuscan countryside escapes.
But what is it I’m truly longing for?
Maybe it’s something only you know how to offer:
the quiet return to myself.
Those rare, complete seconds when nothing is missing.
You remind me of the luxury of simply sitting, alone, with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, not to wake up, but out of joy.
To watch the world unfold like a silent film, while the digital one stays far away.
You teach me to notice the small, beautiful things that ask nothing of me:
branches waving politely,
the sun still giving its best to break through the clouds,
trees holding tight to their leaves.
You ask me to be selective about whom I let into these moments, whom I share my bottle with, who I trust with the kind of conversation that doesn’t need to end.
You help me let go of the heaviness I’ve been holding for too long.
Late summer, you are beauty.

How to do summer in Tuscany.
1. Chase the shadows, but never give up the pleasure of a vintage cabriolet. There are many ways to deal with the heat, choose yours with style.
2. Stay hydrated. Find the juiciest watermelon at the market and don’t hesitate to ask a charming Italian to help carry it to your car.
3. Create your own ventilation system: whether it’s the breeze on a winding ride through Val d’Orcia, the cool air from a wine fridge in a stone-walled cantina, or the soft hum of a fan in your favorite local alimentari.
4. Appreciate the quiet. Let the Tuscan roads take the lead and discover places no map has marked, the hidden corners where time is not a dimension anymore. Your nerve system will cool down and so will your whole self.
5. Pick cherries from a wild tree. Gather some golden grain as a souvenir and of course, always leave room for a bottle (or two) of local wine.
This kind of summer invites you to slow down & celebrate the art of living.
Tuscan summer is beauty.

Che festa! Our first Italian wedding at Cozzano.
A touch of honest romance is in the air. The one written about in books, the one we dream of in our younger years.
It’s early June and the first days of summer arrived with unexpected heat.
The wedding couple and their loved ones are, just moments before the ceremony, still sipping spritzes by the pool and cooling down their bodies & minds in the cold water.
There’s a certain energy that explains why the Italians are the inventors of la dolce vita.
A culture that lets men shed tears of joy, and doesn’t require shared blood to call someone family. A spirit where even at the longest tavolata, everyone truly feels like they are eating together.

Giorgia & Lorenzo, the purity of your love left a mark on Cozzano.
You make us believe in romance again, the real kind. The one we thought was fading away.
Honest romance is beauty.

La Dolce Vita
A way of being in the lips of many but in the spirit of few.
La Dolce Vita is not taking problems too seriously, but remembering that we only live once.
It is the quiet realization of the beauty that surrounds us, and the gentle choice to enjoy it whenever we can.
It is leaving the past where it belongs, not rushing toward the future, but embracing the moment as it comes.
No matter how hard the day has been, a glass of wine, a slice of bread with fresh tomatoes and suddenly, nothing else matters.
La Dolce Vita is breathing in the sea air, finding joy in who we are, and not caring about what others think of us.
It is listening to our senses, and savoring this great gift we’ve been given - life.
Because life is a dessert, meant to be savored slowly.
La Dolce Vita is beauty.

Falling in love with spring every year over and over again.

With these nights that are too cold to sit outside; yet we do it anyway, wrapped in blankets, heating up with red wine, gathered around a long table with inspiring people and endless talks.

In spring, nature recovers, and so do we.
Ready for new challenges, both the ones we seek and the ones that catch us behind the corner.
This time of year gives us the strength to dream of all the possibilities and a moment later, to simply breathe in and appreciate what surrounds us.

We are open to new encounters, awake and aware, taking off the coat of heaviness, and slipping into the most admirable dress of optimism.

Sometimes, all we need is a bit of spring, telling a stranger our story, and dipping our bread into a generous pool of olive oil.
La vita è Bella, Life is beauty.

Many nights passed as we imagined creating this space.
A place where people finish their glass of red wine after dinner, gathered around the fireplace.
Where new strategies are born over a game of chess, and the labels of Italian liqueurs are discussed.
A place where time and sorrows are forgotten, where the weather and the temperature outside no longer matter,
and where the glasses are always half full, never half empty.
This place we dreamed of has become reality.
The fire is lit and the bottle is popped. You see that seat over there? It’s yours!
Having a drink together is beauty.
BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD.

The time has come.
Up on the hill, we feel movement.
People knocking on the door, waking up Cozzano from its winter sleep.
It’s time to catch sunrays between the giant Tuscan trees, to feel happiness arise out of nowhere, and to love the person beside you.
Villa Cozzano is open, and we invite you to stroll through our grass, watch the bubbles dance in your glass of sparkling wine, and simply enjoy life, and yourselves.
A presto!

Beauty is never getting tired of simplicity.
Being surprised by the moments we take for granted.
In the quiet excitement of that first cup of fresh coffee in the morning.

There’s comfort in knowing that mornings come and go, the sun rises and sets, shadows shift, and the birds always return.
We try to plan our lives to the smallest detail, still there are certain moments that make us pause, even if it’s just for a second.

These seconds ground us.
They remind us to breathe.
They offer the stillness to simply be.

They let us feel the first rays of sunlight on our skin, without needing to know what comes next.

Seconds of simplicity are beauty.
BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WOLRD
