Benvenuti in Toscana......Welcome to Tuscany!!
We arrived in beautiful Bagni di Lucca yesterday morning. We were picked up from our Pisa apartment about 9.30 am by Charlie, the owner of the house we are sitting. And took the scenic drive to this lovely little village in the hills. When we arrived we were greeted at the gate by his wife Clare and their daughter Amy. They are lovely easy going people and we got on well with them straight away. We had a lovely dinner with them before they will fly off for their holiday.
The house here is just awesome! Actually it is more of a villa. It is three storeys and was built about one hundred years ago. On the bottom floor there is a separate apartment which they rent out to holiday makers, but for the duration of our two week stay here it will be empty so we can also use the kitchen there, which is great for us as it opens directly onto the outdoor terrace area. Downstairs also has two bedrooms, a huge bathroom and a living room. The second level is the entrance to the street, and has a living room, kitchen, dining, study and bathroom. The third level is bedrooms and another bathroom. Our bedroom is up the top and the views from both our windows is just amazing! I woke up this morning just awestruck at the view! We slept with the windows and shutters wide open, the cool breeze was lovely and you can hear the river rushing by in the distance. Very relaxing!
This morning, Charlie, Clare and Amy left after breakfast for their flight to Barcelona. Later this afternoon we had a swim in the pool and a snooze in the hammock before taking Bengy the dog for a walk along the river. Ahh this is the life!! The weather has been perfect, sunny and about 28c today. And it does not get dark until after 9.30 pm. :)
