New 6 part series on BBC2 starting on Wednesday 5 April at 9pm.
Settling into La Banditaccia in the foothills of Mount Amiata, the group meet owner and local farmer Maurizio. With its vineyard, olive grove and space for a restaurant, this extraordinary location harbours many possibilities to make a new life. After a tour around the estate, they begin to understand the enormity of the scale of what they’ve taken on.
As well as getting to know each other the group of singles must adjust to communal living and get to grips with life on the farm. Learning to keep the wild boar at bay, they tackle their first Merlot grape harvest - with mixed results.
The group must integrate with the locals, trying out their basic Italian, and throw themselves into the trials of rural Tuscan living - with all the challenges that brings. As the cast get to know one another and their new surroundings, they reflect on their personal ambitions and begin to rediscover what really matters.
I'd love to visit Tuscany... this'll do for now!
I hope not . Hi again Syd
