Both places look stunning for all the right reasons.

Hope you both enjoy.

Not sure about our Villa being posher Yola LOL

Ah we might have eaten at that restaurant when we went for a visit in September - was it the one that overlooks the square and they have seating outside with large parasols?

It's under the arches - it was called Vino et Panne http://www.pane-vino.it/taverna.htm . . . actually looking at it I think it might be in the other square, the one behind the square with the town hall in it.

I spent one entire meal with the resident cat asleep on my lap

Wow both look brilliant to me and my holiday destination of a tent....with hole in it and no ground sheet,

oh yes and a door flap that does not tie up...

Ah I know the one Yola, yes it is behind the town hall, we didn't try that one. So the food was very good???

Yes, the food was lovely - fondly remember the local cheese selection with local honey. It was the first time I'd tasted the cheese/honey combination and it was to die for.

It was very full of locals which I suppose was a testament to the quality of the food as the Cortonese don't eat just anywhere

Thanks Yola, when we go over next year I will try and eat there, if you go back I can recommend the restaurant overlooking the town hall, food was amazing, OH had steak (very well done) and I thought it was going to be very tough (as they do warn you on the menu if you want it cooked that way) but it was melt in the mouth.

I had herbed chicken and salad which was very good.

The mixed starters were out of this world.

I love Italian food!! (actually I love most food!! LOL)

I will definitely try that restaurant Emma - thanks for the tip!

Well I have just booked 8 days in Andalucia, for the end of Feb, including a day trip to Gibraltar.
And considering the date for the holiday to Austrian lakes in May I think, travelling on the Danube and a trip to Salzburg(sound of music city)
As well of course as the holiday in Nov to Eygpt (nile cruise) with Katie for her 18th.

Would like to go somewhere else too debating between Cyprus (never been) or back to Greece.....so any takers to join me for a holiday in Greece any island???
