| The entrance to our pensione - did I mention it's wedged between Alexander McQueen and Prada? Also on our street are Tiffany, Sergio Rossi, Burberry, Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo and Pucci - just to name a few! |
 |
| View of the Arno and Ponte Vecchio from the rooftop of the Uffizi gallery - where we saw works from the likes of Carravagio, Michaelangelo, DaVinci and Botticeli (including Botticeli's, The Birth of Venus - which was just amazing) |
 |
| Another view from the rooftop of the Uffizi - behind you can see the Duomo |
 |
| Enjoying a coffee break in a little cellar bar in the street behind our pensione |
 |
| View across the countryside on our visit to Villa le Corte - a well respected producer of Chianti and premium olive oil in Tuscany |
 |
| The 400-year old cellar at Villa le Corte |
 |
| Inside the 400-year old cellar - premium chianti aged in french oak barrels for 24 months |
 |
| Villa le Corte stores its olive oil in traditional terracotta pots |
 |
| The beautiful Italian garden at the back of the winery |
 |
| The best part - tasting the wine! (accompanied by olive oil, fresh bread and locally produced pecorino cheese) |
