Radicofani, in Val d'Orcia, Tuscany

We are finally here! Our personal driver, Angelo, is here at Rome airport to pick us up and drive us to our villa, I Cappuccini, in Radicofani.

Entering I Cappuccini, once a Capuchin Convent as far back as 15th to 18th century.

Check out the grounds and the view!

Selena is already ready to do some cooking.

We might as well help ourselves to some fresh grapes.

...and check out the local village. Quaint and lovely. See the fortress on the hill?

Selena's Birthday party

It's the big 70 for Selena! but she looks at least 30 years younger! Here she is wearing her birthday gift. Sazzy!

Well, many happy returns, girl! Let's eat cake.

Pienza

On the way to Pienza--view of picturesque cypress-lined road to house on knoll.

Entering Pienza

The bags next to me and Teresa are "take home" from restaurant. We learned how to say "porta via" :-) Very useful!

Lunch at Latte di Luna

I think our Rubina has found the secret to the heart of Italian males, the restaurant boss is no exception. Mama mia!!
