Poggio Bustone

The forecast today was for rain all day. Which was daunting because today also had about 3000ft of elevation gain and was 13 miles. Luckily, again, we stayed dry all day!

First stop off the day was Labro, where we had coffee and a quick break looking down at Piediluco before continuing up up up, finally reaching the Faggio di San Francesco (a beech tree where St. Francis sheltered, though at 250 years old, certainly not the same tree). We had lunch at the church, admiring fall colors and moody skies before descending (mostly) to Poggio Bustone.

Finished the day with a fantastic dinner of tartar, pasta, and cocktails at L' Antico Arco Osteria Enoteca.Read more
