The hammock gets a workout.
We play a lot of bocci…
We learned you really don't want your bocci ball to go off the pitch…
It rolls a loooong ways down & everyone spends a lot of time searching…
The house is beautiful and it's history is fascinating. It dates from 1600.
The owners left a booklet with lots of info about it, including many details. For example the basin you see in the corner of the kitchen next to the fireplace was used for washing, using ashes from the fireplace. The fireplace is original to the house.
It's a typical Tuscan farmhouse built of stone with chestnut beams and cotto floors. The animals were kept in the cellars with the living quarters above because it provided heat in the winter. There was a hole in the floor next to the sink that was directly above the pig trough to toss down the food scraps.

It's a pretty walk
We have delicious wood fired pizza in town.
And take the beautiful stroll back home to the farmhouse.
