One week of our recent six-week sojourn in France, Italy and Spain was spent at the Villa Rossi Mattei in Arezzo,Tuscany. With the weather sunny and hot each day, it was great to be able to cool off in the villa's pool or piscina as the Italians would say.
Not everyone braved the water as it was a bit cold at first but as six-year-old Braden and almost five-year-old Patrick would say, "just jump in". Once you were in the 7x14 metre piscina the water temperature was very pleasant.
It was a great way to revive after a day exploring one of the many hill-top towns nearby and historic places like Sienna and Assisi.
The pool area was also popular for a bit of reading and relaxing on the deckchairs and for enjoying a Prosecco or two as the sun set over the Tuscan hills.
Okay, now I really am jealous! Looks fabulouso.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely Jen and I have just re-read my notes which said: "Swimming in the pool at the Villa was accompanied by the sounds of church bells chiming, the aroma of pine cones and the warmth of the late afternoon sun."
