O SOUL MIO Sabina,ITALY
Heart and SOUL, Italy changed me forever. As a solo traveler on an excursion to the enchanting villa of La Cucina Sabina, I met life-long friends and found my true loves — ITALY and its OLIVE OIL !! I have since returned many times to the olive grove countryside villa 30 miles northeast of Rome, and each time discovering new hidden gems and an undeniable connection with my Italian roots. La Cucina Sabina is surrounded by off-the-beaten-path and breathtakingly beautiful towns, fresh delectable cuisine, and the warmth and charm of its lovely people. It will always feel like home for me and one of my top Italian FLYING SOLO tour recommendations.
