Let me first of all express how sorry I am for the delay in the publishing of the “Italian videos” of 2008. And to everybody who said “yes, of course” when I asked to tape them: your videos will be here, but it might still take a few days. You could say that you should never trust what a blogger says, only what he blogs.
The same goes for the stories and recommendations on where to go when in Italy, where to eat, where to stay etc. It will all be here, but it may still take some days. Keep returning here for more.
After Arezzo we went to visit a fattoria near Montalcino (this will be described later). We have visited Montalcino a number of times before. And always returned from Montalcino with a bigger smile on our faces due to either good food, good wine and/or good coffee. So we drove the 20 minutes from the fattoria to Montalcino. Since we had just had a nice lunch, coffee seemed the number one object. And what nicer place to enjoy that than in Belvedere?
How to get there? Well, we always park at the very top of Montalcino, close to the castle. Then it’s just downhill past the church and to your right. Anyway, here is what you might see from the veranda:
And once you get there, you will always be most welcome:
