Thomas Xenopoulos Peccini, Ph.D. (A.B.D.); host of cerines.com Although Cyprus-based Thomas Xenopoulos Peccini spent over a decade studying Italian Literature and cinema and the past 15 years teaching in public education, Thomas found an outlet for his passion for food and living in March 2014 when he launched cerines.com, a website dedicated to his Cyprus-based family of four boys and their lifestyle, growing a following to over 14,000 unique viewers in over 140 countries worldwide. Its Facebook page reached over 1,000 organic likes in just under 20 months. Simultaneously with the launch, he and his wife Ioanna hosted a supper to gather twelve like-minded people interested in connecting over great food. What was formed as a club to bring together foodies, the Cerines Supper Club is now in its second season and has hosted more than 700 participants over 36 suppers. They also have welcomed visitors from four continents at their on-site bed and breakfast.

Tuscany is located in central Italy and stretches from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Its landscape, artistic heritage and stand-out cities – first among them Florence – make Tuscany an unquestioned protagonist of international tourism. In this region, nature has many different facets, starting from the coast that alternates long and sandy beaches, like the Versilia beach, with rocky cliffs and steep headlands. The islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, a crystal-clear sea and rich seabeds, are peerless.

You can admire sceneries of uncontaminated nature in the Apuan Alps and in several protected areas, such as the Orbetello Lagoon, home to many species of migrant birds, including pink egrets.
However, the most typical sceneries of the region are those that merge the beauty of nature with the millenary work of man. The amazing Gulf of Baratti and the sites of Vetulonia, Vulci and Pitigliano guard necropoli and vestiges of the Etruscan civilization, while Roselle and Cosa evoke memories from the Roman Age.

Medieval villages, historical towns, castles and defense systems, country churches (the so-called pievi) and beautiful abbeys, like the one of Sant’Antimo, are scattered all over the territory and their profiles stand out in the landscapes of the Crete Senesi, Orcia Valley, Garfagnana, Chianti and the Maremma.
Finally, Tuscany is full of spas: Montecatini, Saturnia, Montepulciano, Monsummano and Bagno Vignoni, which offer relaxing holidays thanks to their thermal waters and well-equipped facilities for all types of treatments.
