Podere San Luigi

A few of us were extremely blessed by an older couple up the road from our villa today.  They own an estate call Podere San Luigi.  The house on this property was built about 600 years ago.  When they bought the estate there were no gardens on the property.  Over the past 30 years they have planted more than 500 rose bushes and other flowers.

Diane, Dana, and I had gone up to take some picture from outside the gate of their estate when the older woman came out and invited us onto the estate to see the gardens.  The pictures below don't really even begin to show how breathtaking beautiful these grounds are, not even close.















And this is a picture of the gracious owner who invited us onto the property.  She was so cute, when I asked if I could take her picture, she looked down at her clothes and then at me at said, "Mama Mia". Priceless


As we left to get back in the car, there were tears in our eyes.  It was just such a blessing.

Ciao for now

  1. Your trip is sounding like the trip of a lifetime! I am so jealous and so wanting to go there, too! Glad to hear that you are all having so much fun! (And maybe even too much fun!- You may not want to come home.) Can't wait to have Diane tell us all about it!

    Love reading all about your adventures!
