1. Il Poggio



I don't remember quite how I heard of Il Poggio, but I think it was from a couple of ladies who were starting a Bed and Breakfast in southwestern France where I stayed for a couple of nights on my way, slowly as usual since I was backpacking, toward Italy.


They told me that they were modeling their inn on one they had visited near Florence in Italy. They must have given me directions to find the place and suggested that if I was ever in the area I should stop and stay there.


Some weeks later I walked up to the very low-key  hilltop compound of the B&B "Il Poggio ". There was no sign announcing it. You had to know where it was and what it was to find it.
