Day 9: Tuscany, Gaiole in Chianti

This is our farmhouse at Borgo Argenina in Gaiole in Chianti. It was idyllic. A place you could probably live forever and feel you were always in a dream. Our hostess, Elena, was a little too outspoken, but her love for the region was contagious.
The beds were in the upstairs loft of the renovated farmhouse circa 995 A.D.
This is our front door. Couldn't you just come home to this place and be happy forever?
Borgo Argenina used to be a little village, but these buildings were all that was left, and crumbling apart when Elena purchased the land and began an extensive renovation.
