Monday morning, we woke up to explore our villa in the light. We had a relaxing morning, discovering everything about the place and even went for a walk to fully explore the property. We saw the workers tying up the vineyards, as well as doing work on the new winery that is being built. The property is beautiful and it has a great view (both day and night).
After our walk, we finally got our acts together and drove over to Cortona, a small town on top of a hill about an hour away from our Villa in Pomaio (Arezzo). It was very nice there, and we spent the afternoon there after searching forever for a restaurant to eat lunch (which we seemed to be doing all week). It is a beautiful small town where Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed. We got a little lost in back alleys and ended up meeting an American, Deb from Dallas, who was a former flight attendant and just moved there about four months ago. She took the liberty of showing us not only her apartment but also her neighbor's.
It started getting very cold so we decided to drive back and find a restaurant in Arezzo for dinner, after going to the supermarket and figuring out the trains for Andrea in the morning. It was another beautiful, sunny, spring day.
