10D7N Italy | Siena and Florence

GOOD MORNING!!!

early morning after breakfast, I went down to the vineyards for some phototaking!

Siena, a city in central Italy’s Tuscany region, is distinguished by its medieval brick buildings. The fan-shaped central square, Piazza del Campo, is the site of the Palazzo Pubblico, the Gothic town hall, and Torre del Mangia, a slender 14th-century tower with sweeping views from its distinctive white crown. The city’s 17 historic “contrade” (districts) extend outward from the piazza.

Medieval the buildings may be, but Siena’s main streets such as via di Città and via Banchi di Sopra are lined with small elegant and fashionable boutiques selling shoes, bags, clothing and fashion accessories.

The beautiful Siena Cathedral

 Piazza del campo (Campo Square) and the Mangia Tower. It's a UNESCO world heritage site.

After lunch, we visited Florence that brought us to the Basilica of Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio and Piazzale Michelangelo.

The Mercato Nuovo is also known as the "Porcellino" market for the bronze wild boar that is a popular tourist attraction. Nice to walk through but I didn't manage to buy any leather products here cos I came here too late and the shops were closing.

 Replica statue of David in the square. The Statue of David is completed by Michaelangelo in 1504, is one of the most renowned works of the Renaissance.

 a famous gelato shop - Bar Perseo.

After a whole day of touring, we went back to our villa hotel. Had dinner at the hotel's restaurant which was in a glass house type of building facing a vast landscape of winery and verdant green. I went to the restaurant in my pajamas...all ready for a comfy dinner and all set to zzz.

 We ordered a bottle red from the hotel's vineyard, I had a lasagna while hubs had pork chops.
