This is truly farm land and has many "agriturismo" locals, which are farms that have been turned into hotels. In this area they are vineyards and olive farms. They are located off the beaten path and are sometimes quite a drive down gravel roads. I ran to Spinosa Vineyards [Cindy left us a bottle of their wine, which was amazing], which is 3 km from our apartment, straight downhill. I then ran back up and took another road to an abandoned church undergoing a renovation.
[I will post the other video later, the Cafe is closing]
After the run we bundled the kids up and went to an agriturismo olive farm that had a swimming pool. The owner of our property has an arrangement with the owner of the agriturismo that allows us to use the pool. The drive to the agriturismo was a bit scary, as it was straight uphill on a single trail gravel road. Cristin was pretty leery about what we would find at the end. When we reached the place there were two palatial old houses with amazing infinity pools overlooking huge olive groves. [for some reason I did not take a picture of the pool; rather, I took this picture standing beside the pool]
