This sandwich shop, famous for its schiacciata, a type of Italian flatbread, serves up some of the tastiest sandwiches we have ever had. The line can be long, but the payoff is absolutely worth it. We tried the La Dante, packed with capocollo, stracchino, and truffle cream, and the flavors were out of this world. Another standout was the La Inferno, with roast pork, spicy eggplant, and rocket, a perfect mix of heat and freshness. This spot is a must-visit for any foodie. Just make sure you arrive hungry because the sandwiches are massive.

Canoeing at Diga di Ridracoli was such a peaceful way to experience nature. The reservoir is huge, and paddling through the calm waters surrounded by the mountains felt like an escape from everything. The water was crystal clear, and we even spotted a few fish swimming beneath us. It’s perfect for a slow-paced day outdoors, and the views of the dam were incredible. If you’re into nature and water activities, this spot is a gem.

Sgrano in Florence turned out to be a real gem, especially for gluten-free food lovers. Located near the city centre, their menu is fully gluten-free and they have mastered the art of it. We tried the gluten-free schiacciata, an Italian flatbread sandwich filled with fresh ingredients, and it was delicious. The pizza was just as good, with a crispy base that tasted as authentic as any traditional dough. We also tried their gnocchi and were impressed by how light and flavorful it was, even without gluten. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Our meal at Tonnarello was everything we hoped for and more. Despite the crowds and a bit of a wait, the food was well worth the wait. We started with their famous cacio e pepe, and it was everything you’d want, so creamy, with just the right kick of pepper. The carbonara was another favorite, rich and flavorful with perfectly cooked pasta. The portions were generous, and even though the restaurant was packed, the staff took the time to chat with us and made us feel welcome. Sitting outside in the middle of Trastevere added something special to the meal, with the streets full of life around us.

We didn’t expect to spend hours at the aquarium, but there was just so much to see. The tanks are massive and you can get surprisingly close to the sharks and dolphins. It is one of those places that is fun for both kids and adults. The jellyfish exhibit was our favourite and felt like stepping into another world. If you are in Genova, this is a great spot to spend a few hours.

Yes, we actually stayed in a treehouse! Staying at Fattorie di Celli in Tuscany was a dream.
