Italy: Refugio Prategiano

See this swimming pool?That's where I enjoyed many of my afternoons in Toscana!

Once again, Patrick discovered this quaint hotel in Montieri: Refugio Prategiano

It's well known for it's horseback riding (too allergic), mountain biking (too steep for me), and hiking to see the incredible views.

The hotel also has very impressive food... with the best homemade Tiramasu! And the kindest, most helpful staff.

Patrick and I learned what it truly means to RELAX here. The days felt so long, with nothing to do but explore, read, nap and enjoy!
