Our Tuscan interlude began with a side trip to Pisa - really only to see the leaning tower - and a day spent in Siena. Siena is perched on the top of a hill and the old town roads are restricted for cars. The result is a beautifully peaceful town with lots of picturesque nooks.
We then hired a car - right hand manual drive eek! - and headed to our Tuscan villa. We timed our stay with an Italian public holiday, so had to do our grocery shopping the Saturday night we got to Buonconvento.
The entire stay was filled with relaxing. To our delight there were books available, and seeing as there were a few rainy days, we took that as a sign that the Universe wanted us to read and do absolutely nothing. We did just that.
Our VillaIntermingled with the nothing, there were a few walks intermingled, as well as pilates, cooking and eating, hot chocolates, movies dubbed in Italian, opening our personal beauty salon, and commenting on Italian gardeners in the rain.
The result left us feeling very decadent and ready to take on the next part of our trip.
