Monteriggioni and San Casciano
26th January 2023
After Orvieto we moved on to our favourite destination in Italy, San Casciano in Val di Pesa and the Villa Il Poggiale. This is where we spent part of our honeymoon in 2008 and we have now been there eight times. It's where we can escape from the world and fully relax. The people who work there have become like family!
But, because we're so chilled when there, I tend to forget to get the camera out unless it's the phone, just for snaps.
Lynn, Molto Felice!
Me, rilassato!
We did have one special outing however when we met up with some friends in Monteriggioni. It's a small hill top town and we had been there once before. This time was different as we met up with Bronwen and John who we hadn't met in person before, just online.
The way in and out!
Quaint, you might say.
It was incredibly hot on the day, and half way through a lovely lunch it suddenly became sweltering so we decided to move on to find some respite from the heat. Temperatures over 40°C take some getting used to as we were to find out for the rest of the holiday, as it didn't let off until we crossed the Alps into Switzerland towards the end of our trip.
Bronwen and John needed some water to combat the heat

Next blog sees us move near to Naples and a destination we hadn't visited before ....
