beautifully photographed book, 10 July 2000
By Cyndi Bonetti - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Country Houses of Tuscany (Taschen specials) (Hardcover)
Looking for ideas to inspire building a Tuscan farmhouse, then this is it. It does lack in exterior shots, but the interior shots are wonderful. Whether you use this for inspiration or not, it will add to anyone's collection.

truly enjoyable, 24 April 2002
By Britt Arnhild Lindland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Country Houses of Tuscany (Taschen specials) (Hardcover)
If you are in love with Italy and like to look through interior books, this one is truly a winner. You needn't even be in love with Italy to see that.Barbara and René Stoeltie has made a piece of art taking us on a tour through country houses in Tuscany, from the old fashioned homes to the more modern, they all have the typical Tuscan touch which I love so much. You can almost feel the taste of olive oil, and the small of lavendel when you look through the pages.
The text is written in English, German and French, so there should be no problem reading the informative writing.
A perfect coffee table book for all Italian lovers.

My Most Influential Interior Design Book, 2 Jan 2011
By wild child's mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Country Houses of Tuscany (Taschen specials) (Hardcover)
I have owned this book for some 12 years and still not a month goes by without me leafing through its pages. The photos in this book are absolutely beautiful and stunning in their own right and can be enjoyed immensely even without using the ideas for decorating your own home. However I have done just that and I keep coming back to the lavishly presented houses in this book. The homes featured in this book range from spartan to very richly decorated, and no matter what my decorating dilemma is, I will always find inspiration here. I cannot recount the many, many ideas I have pulled from this book, from tiles, to window treatments, to wall colors, to the arrangement of flowers and decorative objects, to fireplaces, and landscaping ideas. I love the simplicity of Italian interior decoration that comes through in these pages, and I love the shift towards function rather than pure decoration when it comes to the use of beautiful objects. The way Italians use beautiful, well made, gracefully aging furniture in everyday life and just leave it be without trying to make it perfect again is just incredibly inspiring. I own quite a few books on Italian country style and this one is by far my favorite!
