Near Volterra ...nites 2 and 3.

I was really looking forward to this place. It is very big and spread out with houses to rent, B&B ( where I stayed) , glamping tents...huge dining room, huge restaurant...on top of a hill looking out into infinate landscape, a beautiful pool, horses, lessons, ...a busy place. There was something off about it. For sure they were in the money making business. There was a one hour truffle guide with dogs in th local woods for 55 euro..this was for me to join a group...the tour continued with preparing a meal with truffles and then eating it...can't imagine what that would have cost. I think I could just find a local truffle guy in Fra and ask to go out with him...I don't even like truffles...The first night I was there they had a big pizza party. They give you a list of activities...they also had lasagna making...
The room was ok but the electrical was from 1950. Thre was nowhere t charge anything. The room was fine except for the LOUD German family under me...lots of Germans there. I asked alittle girl, maybe 6 or so about the horses and she looked at me in such a fearful ugly way...odd. The place was packed. It felt vr impersonal and all about the money there...tourism/italy...The man has a good thing going there for himself, but it was too impersonal for me.
The last night, I was starving and I ordered a pizza...a white pizza with arugula, mozzarella and pistachios. It was very thin crusted and tasty. I had the rest of it for breakfast the next morning. The breakfast buffet was all crepes, cakes, pastries...not for me.
