What woman hasn’t seen Under the Tuscan Sun?
Really? you haven’t?
Okay, you must. If only for the HOUSE! And thanks to Hooked on Houses, I found out that not only is Bramasole, the real star of the film (sorry Diane Lane), actually a real villa in Tuscany, but it’s available for RENT! And bonus, it’s been renovated beautifully!
I think we should have an EOS Retreat there. It’ll be all wine, sun, Pinterest, celebrity gossip and decorating classes and fashion makeovers! And wine. Wait, did I mention that already? Who’s with me?
Sounds like the perfect week and I speak a little Italian!
I would do this in a heartbeat!
Yes!
I’m ready to go…passport is up to date and bags are packed :P
I can’t even begin to explain how obsessed I’ve always been with that movie. Knowing that the house is for rent makes me want to squeal! Had I known about this sooner, I totally would have planned a destination wedding at this very location.
Where do I sign up!! Love your blogs
I visited Bramasole in the spring of 2001. I dragged my husband (then-fiance, what a keeper) there after reading the book on a layover in Europe. Cortona was so charming with a photograph around every corner. The food, the market, the shops – all so memorable. Bramasole itself was…. less than expected. Less grand than I thought it would be, maybe due to its proximity to the road or maybe just how I built it up in my head. But I only saw the outside and always imagined how wonderful it was inside. Thanks for reminding me I’m overdue for a trip to Italy. Might have to take the great husband though…
omg, now on the top of my bucket list. I just introduced my daughter to the movie last week. I was obsessed with the movie and loved the book and even the book about the house. Even rented a villa in Tuscany after seeing it. Tried to fine Bramasole but couldn’t. Unrequited love. i need to win the lottery and go back!
Sign me up for a spot!
Great pics:) I really like your blog..so much nice inspiration.
I wish you a lovely weekend.

GLORIOUS!! One of my fav movies which I’ve watched…way to many times! franki
When you go, you’re going to have to have someone to translate, take care of the logistics, teach art + art history classes, and interior design classes (so you can lay by the pool and drink wine). I can do all of those, so call me when you’re ready!!!

If I went there, I don’t think I would ever come back! Seriously, it’s drop dead gorgeous and now I’m dying to go there!
I’m in, when do we leave!!!
When is the retreat? I want in. Looks amazing. We can Livestream and make everyone jealous.
I loved that movie because of the house and the whole idea of running away to Italy! I’m in and know a bunch of women who would go too! I hear the glasses clinking now….
I am so in. Cheers! Tobi Fairley does design camp in Arkansas, why can’t we have EOS design camp in Tuscany?
Might need to hold a fundraiser, but I am IN!!
