Torre de' Monaldeschi

Last Sunday we went to another pool to keep cool during the 100+ degree heat wave we were having. The pool is part of a new resort/housing complex built on a beautiful hill, near the town of Ficulle (about 20 minutes from here). It is next to a very old convent (Conventaccio), that is now just a few partial walls. The place is beautiful!!! Up on a hill with amazing views of Orvieto, and rolling Umbrian hills. The resort has a restaurant, cafe, spa, golf course and more. David has friends who own one of the houses there. It seems like a great place to live!
