⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you to NetGalley and Orion Dash for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of A Farmhouse in Tuscany by Victoria Springfield.
Harriet’s boss demands she take a break from her busy life in the City and suggests a yoga retreat in the Italian region of Tuscany. However, when Harriet arrives, yoga is no longer an option, and so she sets about learning to ride a horse! She meets a wide variety of characters throughout her stay, including Marco, the owner’s son, Alfredo, the stable hand and Jess, a fellow holidaymaker.
A Farmhouse in Tuscany is a lovely, happy, easy-read and ideal to while away a few hours, whether reading on a beach in the sunshine or by the fire when there’s snow on the ground! The author takes us right into the heart of the Tuscan countryside and you can easily imagine yourself in amongst the trees on horseback or sipping a coffee in the local square with the Italians playing cards by the side of you.
There were a lot of characters in the story and I enjoyed reading about them all and their adventures. My only thoughts are, is that a lot happened at the very end of the book to every one of them with little build-up throughout. This was the only thing that stopped me from giving this book 5 stars. For me, too much happened at the end and not enough during. That being said, it was pure escapism and if you need to switch off for a few hours, then I would thoroughly recommend A Farmhouse in Tuscany.
