I’ve just booked a lovely holiday to northern Italy to stay with my friends. It’s about an hour or so away from Milan and in a village just outside of Piacenza. Perfect place to go if you want to experience authentic Italy.

This will be my third visit and I can’t wait. If you fancy a nice trip away you should give it a go. Cheap, extremely good food and a very friendly welcome. ( :
