On Monday 13-Oct we left Monteriggioni and headed south east for Perugia. Jessie looked up B&Bs as we neared Perugia and we settled on Agriturismo Il Melograno B&B in Pianello. It was a nicely furnished inn surrounded by olive tree groves, not much hint of a farm except for the display of old equipment, on a hilltop with an extensive view of the nearby valleys.
On the drive we stopped briefly in Terme at a natural hot springs spa, but we were not intrigued enough to pay the daily rate (and purchase of a robe) to take the plunge. Maybe next time.
After getting settled, we drove into Perugia’s business district where we wandered around and had diner. We never found the escalator that goes to the actual old town on top.
