Meet me for an educational and lunch in a medieval Tuscan hamlet

I chose the Relais Borgo Scopeto as my home base for meeting my friends and readers and am very satisfied with both the location and the excellent service provided by the staff. You can choose to spend your vacation here or simply come and spend the day and enjoy my company and lunch with me. I warn you though that I might bore you with all the info, stories, history and facts and figures regarding the area and it´s traditions that I will provide you with.
