Relaxing

We got an amazing last-minute deal at an excellent hotel in Siena: Villa Scacciapensieri. This is really a full-service bed-and-breakfast resort with very gracious staff offering anything you might need. What we needed at the end of today was to relax next to the fireplace in the large downstairs piano and sitting room. The staff brought over wine and snacks and lit the candles on the tabletops! A few other guests came and went while I've done blog posts! For anyone visiting the Tuscany region, we'd highly recommend the Villa Scacciapensieri - it's not right in central Siena, but tomorrow we plan to take one of two frequent buses a few minutes into the center of town.
