Drinks at the Villa We’ll be keeping the fridges well stocked with wine, beer and plenty of bubbles throughout the week. If you have a favourite drink you love to enjoy (a particular spirit, seltzer, cocktail ingredient, etc.), please feel free to bring a bottle or box along with you. There will be plenty of room in the fridges, so consider the villa your Italian holiday home for the week. Salute! 🥂
