La Limonaia American Ambassadors

Casey and Molly Harshman

In an effort to help you, our guests, with the planning of your Tuscan vacation we would like to introduce you to Casey and Molly Harshman. They will serve as our contacts in America to help answer any questions that you might have about La Limonaia or the many Tuscan Tours that we offer. They have been our guests at La Limonaia and have tourd all of our tours. Casey and Molly live in Avon, Ohio which is located just outside of Cleveland. They first started traveling to Italy several years ago and have developed a love affair with the Italian culture, especially Tuscany.

They are passionate about food, wine, and meeting new people. Casey works for a Package Design Firm/Advertising Agency in Toledo, Ohio and Molly is a Clinical Specialist for a leading Medical Device Company. They both love to cook and share in the family time spent preparing/creating a meal. From Casey "what we enjoy about Italy is the love and passion that is put forth in each meal, in each glass of wine. In America life seems so hectic and most people do not have time to prepare a meal. Which means you lose that bonding time you would otherwise tour with your family or friends. I think that is why we love to travel to Italy because we stop to smell the roses...or the pizza or the incredible Chianti Classico wines!" Cristina and I realized that with their combined love of food/wine and their passion for helping others that we would begin a partnership to help you, our guests.

Please do not hesitate to contact them with any questions. We think you too will see why we are excited about this partnership.

They can be reached at 440-241-4217.

My name is Barbara Lesiecka.

A friend and I discovered la Limonaia when we were looking for the perfect venue to celebrate her 50th birthday. The welcome, courtesy and help given to us by Giulio and Cristina made it a wonderful break and a memorable tours. So much so, that I am delighted to become an ambassador for Giulio and Cristina at la Limonaia, in the village of Bagno a Ripoli, to help other potential visitors plan their trip. My family and friends are all very passionate about good food and wine and we love meeting people and learning about different cultures. Giulio and Cristina’s personal touch made our stay very special and we were able to benefit from their recommendations of places to visit and things to do in addition to the mainstream tourist attractions. Life is made so much easier as both Giulio and Cristina speak English. Together with a group of like-minded friends they also offer a fantastic range of genuine Tuscan tours: cookery classes, bread making, as well as wine, truffle, spice and saffron tours – take your pick! I am very happy to receive calls or emails from people interested in la Limonaia, who would like to know more about what it has to offer – accommodation, food classes, wine tours – plus practical information on how to access local Tuscan tourist attractions from la Limonaia. If you think I can help you answer any questions you may have about the la Limonaia tours please feel free to contact me.
