Not as widely known as in France, Lavender can certainly be found in the hills of Tuscany. Many places you will visit there, you will find the scent of lavender and rosemary wafting through the air. I remember that well when I stayed at an Inn that was a former palace. After a long day of walking , I sat with my feet in dangling in the salt water pool. As I admired the scenery of the rolling Tuscan hills, the aroma hit my senses and brought tears to my eyes.
