Art Toscana Art Retreats in Italy. We went skiing with our family last month at a place called Val di Luce. It offers everything if you like to ski, or if you don’t, the Val di Luce hotel has an inside/outside pool which is so warm, you can bathe outdoors looking at the snow-covered mountains. Legend suggests Hannibal crossed the nearby Appenines via Val di Luce. He’s Chris obviously pleased he had conquered the black run.
