Tuscany: Firenze (Florence), San Domenico, Fiesole
/Watching the ITalian sun set from the hills of San Domenico
The villa where we're staying — at Centro Studi (CISL), in San Domenico — is a fifteen-minute bus ride from Firenze (Piazza San Marco, to be precise), half way up the hill to Fiesole.
My beautiful, wonderful, lovely, air-conditioned room — with en suite bathroom (shower and all!) — is on the level below the patio on the left side.
A very cool tree on the courtyard bathed in vespers light.
L'ombrellino on the narrow road leading to the villa's fortified entrance.
A viewpoint along the walk up to Fiesole...
...and the view looking down on Firenze, complete with the then half-full moon.
Looking to balance out the glitz and glamor of the Côte d'Azur? Join me for a short stroll on the Cap Dramont, a coastal section of the stunningly red Massif de l'Esterel of Southeast France.
