Had booked a private tour of Florence with Guiseppe Migliorini from Tuscany Tours, and had to meet him at the train station around 9:30, so needless to say it was an early start. We had set off in perfect timing but didn't get far before we had realised ... Read more >

Decided to have a bit of a break from driving so much today, so thought we'd check out our local. Radda is absolutely heavenly and everything you'd expect from a small village in Tuscany. Had a bit of a wander around, then found a coffee in Bar Dante, ... Read more >

Woke to heavy rain that hit northern Italy overnight. Not one to waste time and sit around, and being the romantics that we are, we decided to take a short 2.5 hour drive over to Verona.
