The hill top town of Colonnella … sounds more like
a medical issue or procedure!
The views from the hill top towns around this area are as if you were flying in a plane.
As far as the eye can see is a beautiful patchwork of
olive groves, vineyards, wheat and other crops.
Getting to them is also a lot of “Italian Driving Fun”!
At times you just have to close your eyes and go for it, works for the Italians and so far seams to be working for us!
This steep little road to get to the Osteria for lunch at the top of the hill was just one example,
I thought surely it was only one way.
So I did a walk up to see if the Osteria first had a table and also to see how I would get Sandy and the car up the hill and
back down.
On my walk I discovered it was in fact two ways 🫣
So I said to Sandy hold your breath and we made it to the top and lucky for us there was still one car park left.
(I’m sure this is to make you want to drink more wine to able to get up enough courage to drive back down the hill 😂)
fried pancake and prosciutto all the while sitting precariously on the edge of a rickety old timber deck behind a wire fence that wouldn't keep a puppy in or out.
Maybe they think if your that dumb and fall over the edge,
well … hopefully your to dumb to able to breed … so then the next generation will have more common sense!
Lunch was to die for.
Hoping not!, we still need to get back down the hill.
The mushroom tagliatelle with truffle Just Yummo.
After going truffling with Doriano in the heat over the weekend
I eat it where ever I see it on the menu.
Now after lunch I soooooo hoped that no one is coming up the hill. Cars coming up the hill have the right a way so I was dreaded the though of me having to reverse backwards up this steep curved hill with stone walls either side that would have been a bit too nerve racking to say the least.
Down … no other cars … one can breathe again.
So worth all the little heart starts, the views, lunch and the italian atmosphere in the little Osteria was just fabulous.
Amazing
