My mom recently came out to England for her yearly visit, and we decided to continue our "Girls Trip" tradition by visiting Tuscany. My mom is a pro at choosing hotels, and for this trip she found a sweet little B&B called Borgo di Pietrafitta. It was nestled in the hills of Tuscany, near the town of Castellina in Chianti. Of all the little villages that we visited, Castellina was my favorite. We found a great restaurant and became "regulars", eating dinner there 3 out or the 4 nights of our stay! We travelled to Sienna to see its beautiful Duomo, to Florence to check out the Uffizi Gallery and to see Michaelangelo's David, to San Gimignano for some wonderful shopping, and up to Volterra to see the awe-inspiring view from the city gates. The trip was absolutely wonderful, and I am so thankful that my mom & I were able to spend some quality time together visiting one of the most beautiful places on earth! I'm looking forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.
Enjoy some pictures below...
