My idea of heaven still is to drive the gravel farm roads of Umbria and Tuscany, very pleasantly lost.
A beautiful rest point along the drives through the hills of Tuscany is the retirement village & monastery of Chiusure. Set atop a hill with a view over their surrounds, go for tea at the local cafe and make sure to find all the members of the village to smile, listen and walk with. They’re pretty amazing!
