It's your eyes that make me smile.

Posting my Florence photos last week made me SO wistful for my holiday - if I could go back to Italy tomorrow, I would! But possibly worse are the photos from the rest of my trip. After Florence, and after Jo's wedding, we spent the rest of our Italian holiday in Greve, Chianti - set in the Tuscan hills at Le Cetinelle. I've already posted some photos of this place, but it was so gorgeous, I just have to share more...

Cutest three-legged kitty ever.

Le Cetinelle is situated in a vineyard, at the top of a steep, rocky hill. It’s surrounded by breathtaking views and so peaceful – we could have been the only people there. It’s a B&B with only 6 rooms - and my friends and I were in half of them - so we basically had our run of the place.

I can’t recommend it enough. You need to drive to get there – luckily Russ volunteered – but it’s beautiful. The landlady is super friendly too, and outside of breakfast time, the kitchen facilities were all ours. So, aside from one EPIC lunch in the local town (I had a souffle and a risotto to DIE for) we ate most of our meals there. They were the best. We bought loads of cheese and ham and part baked baguettes, and made tomato and mozzarella salad, and just all dug into this huge smorgasbord of the best food you’ve ever tasted, accompanied by lots of (incredibly cheap) red wine.

I loved it as a holiday location to spend with friends, but it would also be amazing for a romantic break or even a honeymoon. We had the pool to ourselves (so the girls and I sunbathed while passing around a bottle of fizz) and I could run around and take photos to my heart’s content, without feeling self conscious. It was actually so nice to be away from it all - we spent the evenings chatting, drinking and playing cards, rather than watching TV and playing on our smartphones. So nice, in fact, that when I found out there was free wi-fi, I felt quite reluctant to activate it... I did, though (I admit it - I missed Twitter!).

If you’re thinking about a quiet break – or even somewhere to spend a couple of days at the end of a busy break – GO. (It's really not expensive, either!)
