We travelled north on the A1, following the signs to Firenze, listening carefully to the TomTom's instructions.
If you're thinking of hiring a car here a GPS is not optional, the roads are just too confusing without one.
Even the one-stops make an effort
This cheerful little basket is on the office counter at the forecourt.
We bought lunch, I couldn't resist the caprese roll with real buffalo mozzarella and sweet tomatoes. At a one-stop. It's all so civilized.
Leaving the highway just past Valdarno we made our way along impossibly narrow, winding country lanes to our first home, I Nidi Di Belforte, near Corella
It has been unseasonably cold with snow still visible on the high peaks to the east, but the apartment has central heating and a fire place.
Having had little time or opportunity to stock up I made a simple dinner of baguettes, cheese and preserved meat (bought at the one-stop) We washed that down with a wonderful bottle of Rosso Di Montepulciano 2010
And settled in to read at the fire
