This is a large book by size and it has 350 color photographs!
You get a feel for southern Europe through it and you even get to try some of the nice country type of foods at the end, mostly sallads, healthy stuff :-) It's beautiful and as inspirational as any book by Tricia Guild can be...somewhere to rest your eyes and calm down I'd say, without having to go to the countryside yourself. And then it gives you back that energy that only nature can give you!

beautiful photos

Rating: 4/5

This book is filled with higly saturated photos of painted furniture and rich fabrics. Though the title is "Country," I would also recommend it for the modernist. Included in the back of the book are fresh summer recipes.

Definitely a book to leave on the coffe table!

Tricia Guild has done it again with this stunningly photographed book of interiors of her own, and other's Italian country homes. With not a hint of pretense, we get to roam through these houses with that feeling that we, too may be able to achieve "the look". Not just an interiors text, Ms Guild takes us into the vineyards and kitchens of Tuscany, making this more of a "lifestyle" guide. This is a book that lets you become lost to another place and time - browse for a while, and be sure not to put it away in the bookshelf - leave it on the coffee table as I do!
