It's easy enough to see by bike (even if you'll probably be the only ones). The local "Pietra Leccese" (Lecce stone) gives off such an amazing glow to the streets, especially if your able to catch it at the crack of dawn. During the summer months the city stays alive well into the early hours, unlike most of the above mentioned cities, Street artists are welcomed with open arms. The service: I've found service in many places to be a whole lot slower but to be quite honest, it gives you even more time to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the view and pour another glass....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074088794171504071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-22947209054884908422015-10-30T14:17:48.753-04:002015-10-30T14:17:48.753-04:00I love Positano - I've been at least three tim...I love Positano - I've been at least three times and my husband is from Bologna so definitely agree with you!

We're staying just outside of Positano this summer. I'm hoping the hike from our B&B to the town & beach does't kill me (or perhaps more importantly, ruin my sandals).

It's located just south of Cinque Terre and it's easily reach by train from Florence (train station: Firenze Rifredi). I have understood that Viareggio is a popular holiday spot for Italians themselves, so it’s not that touristic. You would probably also love the small city of Certaldo, and especially Certaldo Alto, the old part of the city witch can be reached with an old funicular. Giovanni Boccaccio lived here, and it’s said that he wrote Decamerone here. I personally loved the Plazzo Pretorio and the nearby restaurant Osteria di Vicario witch has a fantastic view over the Tuscany countryside. Both Viareggio and Certaldo are hidden gems, and kind of off the beaten path- sites. Alexandrahttp://thislovelyseptember.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
