Italy - Part II

After Montepulciano, we continued south to Bevagna (near Perugia), and then onward to Ronciglione, which is about an hour from Rome.

In Bevagna, we spent four nights in an old tower built into the city's fortified wall. The spiral staircase was atmospheric, though precarious. We had the entire tower to ourselves--three floors, plus a loft. Outside we had a garden, three cats that ignored us, and lovely neighbors-- the b&b owner (Gabriella), her aunt and uncle (Genevieve and Carlo), a cousin, etc. One afternoon Genevieve came over to chat with us while we were sitting in the garden. We had a terrific conversation with the help of Google Translate! After sharing stories, she invited us over to meet her husband Carlo who, by the way, makes an amazing homemade lemon liqueur, which he generously shared with us. It was one of the best visits we've had yet! È stata una delle migliori visite che abbiamo mai avuto!




Onward to Ronciglione!
