HOTEL LE FONTANELLE, TUSCANY
We recently spent a few days at this
magnificent property in Tuscany and
it might just win the prize (if there was
such a thing) for insideKENT’s favourite
escape. From the first glimpse of the
spectacular views to your last
cappuccino on the morning of your
departure, you’ll feel on top of the world.

An introverted, unusual young boy,
isolated by his obsessions and a loner at
school, Chris Packham only felt at ease
in the fields and woods around his
suburban home. But when he stole a
young Kestrel from its nest, he was about
to embark on a friendship that would
teach him what it meant to love, and that
would change him forever. In his rich,
lyrical and emotionally exposing memoir,
Chris brings to life his childhood in the
70s, from his bedroom bursting with fox
skulls, birds' eggs and sweaty jam jars, to
his feral adventures. But pervading his
story is the search for freedom, meaning
and acceptance in a world that didn’t
understand him.
