This was a must see as the brochures had said the the world champion gelato makers are situated on the main piazza, plus there are some famous towers that rise above the tuscan countryside.
As we drove on the twisty italian roads, a lovely little town situated on a hill appeared. We manage to find a park and walked up to the piazza right in the top of the village. So walking up allows you to work up an appetite for gelato. This town is famous for having over 70 towers which demonstrated wealth and power, prior to the plague but now only 14 remain.
It is a bit touristy, large tour groups again, all lined up to buy gelato of course. This town had a Harry Potter village feel to it with the narrow cobblestone streets some which looked out to some amazing views. I am pleased to say that it was also stroller friendly. We walked up then down the other side with no problems at all. The only real problem we had was trying to choose which flavour gelato to have. I ended up with Pastasio and Chocolate but I had gelato envy when Andrew got The Pink grapefruit/champagne and passionfruit. yum!
