The 'Castello di Casole' is a
magnificent hotel on the top of a hill in the countryside between
Firenze and Siena; its renovation has created a splendid luxury resort
and it is a pleasure to enjoy its 'Tosca' restaurant, while Luca, the
bartender, mixes an excellent Martini cocktail based on a great classic,
the Tanqueray 'Ten'. Luca is a pupil of Federico, the sophisticated
bartender of 'Il Pellicano', and thus a already a Master of the game.
His Martini was perfectly stirred, not shaken, the olives of the right
size and color.
The
arrival at the 'Castello' was messy (rain, do road signs, mud, no help
by phone from the reception, no help at the arrival with the luggage etc) so I was
extremely angry.... but this excellent Martini put a smile back on my face and so I was ready for a great
dinner at the 'Tosca' restaurant in the same resort; this was one of the
best dinners I had during the last weeks and I was very happy with that
