Tuscan Hill Towns

Fortress with a view... entry one felony!!
This is a top pick! We arrived from Lucca just in time for a sublime sunset... it was like the sky was on fire!! See photos!! I was a bit pooped so I opted to stay in the scoobs reading and relaxing while Kim headed into the village to scope it out. Next morning started ...
The real vacation begins!
... . It did, but the clothes came out dripping wet. Ugh! Now, we're in a cafe having espresso. The group is taking the tour of Volterra that we took last week. So, we decided to do our own thing. I may not blog again for a few days because access is ...
Volterra
... ) and I got along well for an hour. Not a bad way to spend the morning. We decided to wing our day by heading to Volterra (yes, I can deviate from my itinerary!). Volterra is really not known for anything but being in Tuscany, being a walled-in hill town, ...
Just another day in paradise
... ;old town’ entirely which was a bit unfortunate but never mind. Our scenic drive through the rambling hills took us to Volterra. This magnificent town lies on a precipitous hill (555m) with open views in every direction. The drive there was rather ...
Amazing views and drives around the countryside
promises of a great cheap room brought us here, but the hill town is really quaint and the room blows us away. We stay at a seminary. ...
Trapped in Volterra.
... food, wine and coffee lifestyle fits us just nicely. We skipped only half an hour down the road to a town called Volterra. This unsurprisingly walled medieval town is pretty sweet. We snatched a free park amazingly outside the back gates and for several ...
A Quick Trip to Volterra
... to and from Volterra, with some sentences being in at least 4 languages.. a real language stew but good fun. Volterra is a pretty little place, with great views, an old Roman amphitheatre, and the usual assortment of picturesque corners and steep ...
Last Blog - probably
... going back to places because we don't feel like we have to see all the sites, we can just hang out and enjoy ourselves. We leave Volterra around 1pm and head back to the villa for a cookout - fun! Then, tomorrow we go to Rome and spend the night there and ...
Day trip in Tuscany

Florence/Tuscany
... if I want to face parking in San Gimignano. And then in the lobby I see a pamphlet for something called the Roman Theater in Volterra. Read more, and I know where I'm going. It's about another 10 mins west, with the best scenic views I had on my whole ...
For Meg's Twilight buddies
For those of you in the know, this was very cool for Meg- although it took some convincing to get her to go to the square that first nigh- in her words: "First, I know it's not true, but even if it WERE true, the Voltarri won't let anyone hunt ...
Country Driving and Wind!
... back. Coming around a bend into a valley, this huge concrete building appears at the bottom. Interesting contrast between it and Volterra's medieval prison. Then a detour into Poggibonsi - what an awful place (sorry those of you who live there) - to ...
No vampires here
Took a bus from Siena to Colle Val d'Elsa. A bus from Colle Val d'Elsa to Volterra. Reached on the morning of 21st. Walked around the little town snappping pictures of the unique streets and city. Visisted the Duomo. Bought alabaster souvenirs. Afternoon ...
Oh Bella, Oh Edward, Oh .........
So we woke up early and were looking forward to the further discovery of the streets of Volterra. One of us was a little more excited than the other but never the less we had lots to see so we planned to break the day into 2 parts. The morning we would do ...
Under the Tuscan Sun

GOODBUY ISOLA d ELBA
... and Steve could see the oncoming traffic so he could throttle it out a bit more and not worry about oncoming traffic. I just watched Volterra disappear in the afternoon glow. Home again to Colle I drove to the new town to get more supplies for our ...

Volterra to see the Volturi.
... Aro, Caius & Marcus live I discovered we were only a couple of hours away, the plans then changed from Ferrari museum to Volterra. It was quite cool to be stood under the clock tower at 12:00 where Edward stood & the narrow streets where Bella ...
Tuscany the land of Chianti, Brunello and Nobile
... ;(the Twilight series). The hotel is pretty good (could be cleaner) but has very good restaurant and pool and Volterra is really nice town - very few tourists compared to Sienna and San Gimignano. Not to mention we got a ...
Hiking Through the Tuscan Countryside
... a great job of pointing out interesting sights and answering our questions...and by 4:30pm or so we arrived at the gates of Volterra, the fortress (which is now a penitentary, housing some of the most dangerous criminals in Italy so we were told) looming ...
Finally a short but scenic drive...
After another nice breakfast of croissants from San Gimignano we had a swim and headed out to Volterra. A smaller medieval town which we were able to cover in about 3 hours. Included Roman Ruins and lots of history. We had another great ...

Volterra
... they kind of cancel out the history of the place. There are still 16 towers there from when Italy was a city state pre-1860. Speaking of history, in Volterra the one "porta" dates back to fourth century B.C.!!!! CRAZY! Alright well, it's photo ...
