A good book is the next best thing to traveling, transporting our minds and imaginations to far away places. Now, if you can combine travel and reading a good book, you\u2019re particularly lucky. Imagine relaxing in the comfortable surroundings of an Italian villa \u2013 be it in Tuscany or down south in Sardinia \u2013 with the luxury of time to immerse yourself in the stories of past writers who enjoyed such places. Here my suggestions for an Italian villa holiday<\/strong> in the company of a selection of classics and some lesser known books by Italy\u2019s great contemporary writers.<\/p>\n

The Library at Villa La Foce – to read Iris Origo where the author lived<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

Best books for a holiday in the Tuscan countryside<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The La Foce<\/a> estate was brought back to splendour by Anglo-Irish writer Iris Origo<\/strong> and her Italian husband in the first half of the 20th<\/sup> century. During a holiday in the UNESCO heritage Val d\u2019Orcia<\/strong> it\u2019s easy to forget that life hasn\u2019t always been so picture perfect as the gorgeous views may suggest. It’s hard to imagine a better place than the couch in front of the fireplace in La Foce’s Library to read the firsthand accounts written by the villa owner herself.<\/p>\n

\u2018War in Val d\u2019Orcia\u2019<\/a>, Iris Origo\u2019s diary of life a La Foce during the Second World War, is an extremely interesting and touching read. Find more information and photos of the Origo family on my Trust and Travel blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Memories

\u2018The Merchant of Prato<\/a>\u2019 is a very different book and one that I enjoyed immensely. Origo\u2019s account of Francesco di Marco Datini is an entertaining and at the same time extremely fascinating introduction to daily life in fourteenth-century Tuscany. The writer diligently studied the thousands of letters and documents in the archives in Prato<\/strong> and succeeded in writing a book about the early Renaissance that isn\u2019t just for history buffs.<\/p>\n

Best books for a holiday on the coast of Tuscany<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Countryside and seaside require different books. If you plan a holiday on the Tyrrhenian Sea, you can spend long afternoons in a deckchair in one of our villas on the Tuscan coast<\/a>, when reading the afternoon away is a must! For this situation, I suggest contemporary Italian literature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"The
The beach at Palone Nuovo. Picture yourself here – reading a book, of course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Silvia Avallone<\/strong> is a young Italian writer who has spent part of her childhood here. Her novel ‘Swimming to Elba<\/a>\u2019 has been translated into 23 languages and is the perfect antidote to Frances Mayes\u2019 \u2018Under the Tuscan Sun\u2019. Avallone tells the tale of two teenagers who grow up in Piombino<\/strong>, an industrial town on southern Tuscany\u2019s coast. Tourists cross Piombino and its refineries to take the ferry to Elba (which, on a clear day, you can see from the aforementioned deck chairs), but the young protagonists of Avallone\u2019s honest book can only dream of the picturesque bays of the island, as growing up on the crowded beaches of their working class coastal town isn\u2019t as easy and romantic as life in Tuscany can seem on first sight.<\/p>\n

The Maremma coast<\/strong> and its beautiful beaches also feature prominently in the works of some of Italy\u2019s most famous writers, who own (or owned) holiday houses in Castiglione della Pescaia. The writers\u2019 homes in the shady pine tree woods along Castiglione\u2019s shore became a sort of beachside literary salon in the second half of the 20th<\/sup> century. Scroll down to the \u2018What To Read section\u2019 in this article about Castiglione della Pescaia<\/a> for books set and written in this lovely Tuscan port town by Italo Calvino, Fruttero & Lucentini and recent Strega prize winner Sandro Veronesi.

Best books for a holiday in a Veneto Villa<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My favourite reading nook in the Veneto is the living room of Villa Tempietto<\/a> at the Frassenelle state. Hidden away in the extensive park of the estate, the small but luxurious villa is the perfect location in Italy to be in hiding with a case of books. It may be the neoclassical architecture of the building that inspires me to recommend a lot of classics for a holiday here.<\/p>\n

\"Warm
Warm winter reading by the fireplace in this Veneto Villa Tempietto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019ve reread Thomas Mann\u2019s \u2018Death in Venice<\/a>\u2019<\/strong> sitting in the shade of Villa Tempietto\u2019s immense white columns. And since Padua is Palladio\u2019s birthplace, I always pack his famous \u2018Four Books on Architecture<\/a>\u2019 to browse after lunch on the veranda, or with a glass of wine in front of the fireplace during chilly autumn nights. This \u201cbible for architects\u201d has inspired many a daytrip to the Palladio Villas<\/a> in and around Vicenza and the Venetian hinterland.<\/p>\n

When in need of an easier read enjoy resorting to Donna Leon\u2019s crime mystery series<\/strong><\/a> set in Venice that star the amiable Commissario Brunetti. \u2018Death at La Fenice\u2019 is the first and one of the best books in the series and no doubt on its way to become a modern classic of the genre.<\/p>\n

Best books for a Sardinia holiday<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sardinia, an island in the south of Italy, has the fortune of being well narrated by female writers. A book that I always recommend to travellers renting one of our exclusive beachside villas in Sardinia<\/a> is \u2018Accabadora<\/a>\u2019 by Michela Murgia<\/strong>. The novel by the young Sardinian writer gives a fascinating introduction to life on the island before it became a sought after tourist destination for its crystal clear waters. You can find an introduction to the intriguing and surprising theme of the book on my Trust and Travel<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n

\"Book
Book with a view? Sardinia’s rugged territory seen from the luxury of our villa rentals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Few people are aware that Sardinia is the home of writer Grazia Deledda<\/strong>, who was the second woman to receive the Nobel Prize for literature in 1926 (and, after Giosu\u00e8 Carducci, the second Italian citizen to do so). The committee explained the decision to award the prize to Sardinia\u2019s most famous author with the following words: “for her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general”. \u2018Voice of Sardinia\u2019 is the title of an article on the Noble Prize committee\u2019s website which makes for a great introduction to Grazia Deledda<\/a>\u2019s work – for the English reader, try her 1913 ‘Reeds in the Wind<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
