We took the highway down to Florence and then jumped onto some back roads that took us down to Siena, all over the countryside through Tuscany and finally ending up in Umbria near Orvieto where we would be staying for 3 nights at La Cassette.
Hadleigh did better in the car, and we slowly meandered around through the hills and little towns. We loved it. The vineyards, the stone houses, the wild flowers, the hills. Beautiful, gorgeous, wish you were here!
We wound our way past Orvieto and into Baschi and then up this hill to the farm where we were staying. The place was quiet, beautiful and perfect. The only bad thing was the pool wasn’t open yet because the water was too cold.
We had half pension here so we were to take breakfast and dinner at the main house. We had great fun at dinner. There were 2 Italian couples, a German couple and 2 ladies from the states staying there. We sat with the Germans and Americans and had a wonderful conversation over fresh, ripe cantaloupe, amazing, homemade raviolis, and duck that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
