Views from Tuscany (6)

Here is the last series of shots taken during our two weeks in Tuscany, Italy. They more or less sum up our holiday, and the experience...

Summarizing, all I can say is: Tuscany is one of the most welcoming and tranquil places we visited. The variety of the landscape, the history, its towns, welcoming people and food are all simply remarkable.
It was my first holiday in Italy in 30 years. The only regret I have is "Why did I wait that long?"..

Nature is one of Tuscany's aces. And beauty can be in small things.

Amazing what a few glasses of "prosecco" would not do...


For those interested, we staying in the Podere Ampella, in Southern Tuscany, between Montisi and San Giovanni d'Asso:

Podera Ampella is a typical example of an Italian "agriturismo" holiday formula, rural country side cottages. It is small compound of a few brand new fully furnished and equipped independent houses. Ours was a two bedroom, two bathroom house with an astonishing view. The compound has a shared swimming pool. The hosts, Robert and Paola, are a very warm and welcoming couple.

And to finish off, a panoramic view on the road back from Tuscany to Rome (click for a hires picture):
