This is my favorite cafe in the village of Castelfranco di Sopra. Sometimes I walk there from CasaMacchia for a cappuchino and a croissant or I take an aperitif in the late afternoon. Tower caffe is run by five young people who are very interested in getting in touch with people fromn all over the world.

Caffe Fiorenza. Historic bar of San Giovanni, very popular, ideal for a coffee or an aperitif while admiring the Palazzo d'Arnolfo. The interior is classically furnished, the outdoor tables are definitely preferable. Friendly staff, lively atmosphere, good choice of sweet and savory. Recommended a stop especially for the location.

Rom ist überwältigend. Mit dem Auto oder Zug ist man in ungefähr zwei Stunden da. Mann kann also früh morgens aus der Toskana aufbrechen und gegen Mitternacht wieder in das gewohnt komfortable Bett der CasaMacchia sinken.

Arezzo is Florence's beautiful little sister. Not many tourists walk around the old streets of this Tuscan gem. Every first weekend of the month there is a huge antique market where you might find an original souvenir.
