We are very lucky to have an excellent new shop in La Villa, Bonta Toscane, that sells local produce.
The shop is well stocked with a great selection of cheese, fresh pasta, honey, olive oil and much more…all locally produced.
I was delighted with my purchases yesterday and will happily become a regular shopper there. I encourage everyone to shop local, especially when it is as good as this.
The local food markets in Bagni di Lucca are great. You can buy wonderful local produce at reasonable prices.
There is a good selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables and there is often a stand selling fresh fish and one selling roast chickens and other delights.
The markets are held every Wednesday and Saturday at La villa and Tuesday and Friday at Fornoli. They start at about 9.00am until 1.00pm.
This was my haul one day.
You don’t really need an excuse to stop and admire this gorgeous bridge, but there is another reason apart from the sheer beauty of it.
Catia from Giocondo has opened a wonderful shop where you can buy products from her agriturismo in Lugliano. It is opposite the bridge and there is parking beside the bridge.
