Exploring Italy: Monticchiello & Siena

Welcome to my final Italy post! This was actually the second and third day of our time in Tuscany but we’ll just ignore the fact that I haven’t done things in chronological order. Today I’ll be showing you around Monticchiello and Siena. 

Exploring Italy - Vitabella Toscana

So, I’m doing my Italy posts in a kind of backwards way (you’ll see what I mean next week). I didn’t want the last post to be too crammed with pictures and that means I can show you more of the place we stayed in this week. Really the last post should have had this title but oh well! Next week I will actually be showing you more of Tuscany as well as Sienna! If you’ve arrived here because you’ve searched for Vitabella Toscana then check out my previous post for pictures of the inside of La Ginestra.

So this post will be relatively short and sweet but I wanted to share our last day and one of the best features of the place - the pool!

Exploring Italy: Tuscany

I left off my last post talking about how I’d share the most beautiful place to stay ever and I mean it. When I go on holiday I’m not much of a going out clubbing type of girl, I much prefer an evening in with a lovely bottle of wine. As a result of this I get more cash to splash out in where I’m staying and because we were going to Tuscany and wanted to in the middle of nowhere we decided to stay in an apartment. Only we found the best apartment/villa type place and honestly it was perfect. The only thing missing is a bath, haha but that’s because I’m 100% a bath person and you’ll have seen from my time in Oxford and York. We drove from the airport to Tuscany and a wonderful double rainbow accompanied us for some of the journey. 

Exploring Italy: Rome

Can you believe my last holiday before this was in October? It feels like such a long time ago, but it really isn’t! I didn’t plan on going on any holidays until towards the end of the year but who can resist a good old holiday when a friend asks?

food with love.

chocolate pasta and amazing gelato.

I can't even begin to explain how nice this gelato was and the cone.

Italian gelato is something to talk about.

The final batch of pictures I took in my first week.

I had such a lovely day yesterday, went around to post flyers for the spare bed in the room then met one of their friends and went to McDonalds. McDonalds here is so expensive it's unreal so that's a good deterrent for me! 

I've got to do so much today. Yes on a Sunday! I'm making myself lunch then hopping in the shower and hopefully shopping for some more essentials before I begin my writing tasks.

I hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Here we have the final photos from my first week.

One more instalment and then I'm done!

I have no idea what to do with myself this weekend, I'm sure I''ll find something though!

Here is the second instalment of pictures from my first week. My flatmates are so lovely, I do feel a lot more welcome here :)

The guy taking it told us to think of love, naturally we laughed.

Part three coming tomorrow :) I hope everyone has a wonderful weeknd.
