A tourist destination, but nonetheless very attractive and worth the day spent here. Dennis and I climbed up to the fortress for magnificent views over the valley and of portions of the town which once had more than 70 towers, but now has only 14 remaining.
A drive over to the coast via the small, attractive town of Massa Marittima.
A beautiful drive through the Tuscan countryside to Siena and then the entire day spent wandering the streets, admiring the lovely old buildings, and of course, lunch!

We had an amazing dinner of grilled lamb, fresh canellini beans in our salad and pasta!
John hacking his way through the bones to make cutlets.
After exploring Villamagna, we drove over to hilltop Volterra – just 12 kms away.
A Bentley/Rolls Royce Royce rally is taking place and these specimens were parked in the main piazza
This one must be mine – my initials!!!
I don’t think this would get up heir hill in the winter!
Our view!
Our little village … Very rural and no tourists – just the way we like it.
Uneventful trip from Dorset to Pisa; supermarket stop on the way and we were set for an evening “in” after a delicious meal of bread, cheese, wine, fruit, olives, etc. on our terrace.
What a lovely villa … At the tail end of a very steep driveway overlooking a valley and hills. We have red roses and cypress!
