Another book on Tuscany? Is it still possible to discover something new there? Barbara and Rene Stoeltie prove that it is. They have found the most beautiful country houses in the remote towns of Chiusi and Montalcino and in the Chianti and the wild Maremma region. These romantic farmhouses and isolated villas have been photographed exclusively by Rent Stoeltie for the third volume in the successful \"Country Homes\" series. Rene is a master at capturing the soft light of Tuscany which, once seen, is never forgotten. It Floods the interiors and paints cryptic messages on the uneven terracotta floor tiles. In a corner, bathed in the famous \"sfumato,\" a timeless still life consisting of a picture of the Virgin and a kitschy infant Jesus. Barbara Stoeltie writes consummately on the landscape and its inhabitants, on the hermitage in a hidden river valley near Arezzo, the \"fattoria\" with its award-winning wine, the palazzo in the moon-like landscape of Siennese Crete and the Renaissance villa near Sienna, formerly the country home of the Chigi family. She also managed to entice from the owners of these houses their favourite recipes for classic Tuscan dishes such as \"fagioli\" or \"ribollita,\" wholesome food that is quick and easy to prepare. A tempting invitation to rediscover Tuscany!

Digging a little deeper into the myth of Morocco, Barbara and Rene Stoeltie present an eclectic selection of homes that demonstrate all that is most wonderful about Moroccan style.

Grüne Wiesen, zwitschernde Vögel und ein strahlend blauer Himmel: Diese Sammlung europäischer Landhäuser zelebriert die Freuden des Landlebens. Aus Schweden, Irland, England, Holland, Frankreich, Griechenland, der Toskana und Mallorca präsentieren wir die stilvollsten Refugien. Von einem gemütlichen Cottage im irischen Kilkenny bis zu einem Landgut in der Toskana umfasst die Auswahl rustikale Behausungen, die ein anheimelndes Gefühl vermitteln und die Tradition ihrer Regionen widerspiegeln. Zu den Highlights zählen ein Künstlerrefugium auf Mallorca, ein Bauernhaus in der Normandie und ein etwa 500 Jahre altes Hexenhäuschen in England. Wir entdecken, wie kreative Köpfe abseits des Stadtlebens Zuflucht und Inspiration fanden, darunter Le Corbusiers „Le Cabanon“ an der Côte d’Azur und das Haus des schwedischen Malers Carl Larsson. Ob frische Gartenblumen auf dem Küchentisch, weiße Laken auf dem Bett oder das Glitzern schwedischen Sonnenscheins auf dem Boden – diese 400 Seiten strahlen Ruhe und Behaglichkeit aus. Mit zahlreichen Innen- und Außenaufnahmen sowie detaillierten Beschreibungen bietet die Sammlung eine Fülle von Gestaltungsideen und einen Hauch frischer Landluft.

Barbara and René Stoeltie set out on their journey through Sweden in search of exceptional houses to photograph and write about. They found a number of extraordinary ones, ranging from a castle filled with family treasures to a little wood-built farm, a forgotten artist's studio built on a cliff by the Baltic, and the house in which Astrid Lindgren, the creator of Pippi Longstocking, was born. Ubiquitous silver-grey floorboards and pastel-coloured furniture are typical of the magnificent castles and manor houses of Sweden. With texts and poetry in praise of the land of the midnight sun, and photographs that capture its romance, this book has all the seductive power of its subject. Author Biography: Barbara and René Stoeltie both began their career as artists and gallery owners. With René as the photographer and Barbara as the writer, they have been collaborating on interior design articles since 1984, contributing to such important magazines as Vogue, The World of Interiors, AD, House Beautiful, House and Garden, Country Living, and Elle.
