The best view in Montefegatesi?

I went to a lovely party in Montefegatesi just before I left for Australia. Montefegatesi is one of my favourite villages, and we walked almost to the top to the house of our friend.

The house is perched on the side of a hill overlooking the gorgeous valley below.

Montefegatesi is a wonderful mountain village…a great place to watch the sun set.

A Benabbio sunset

After a lovely evening with friends in Benabbio I was delighted to see a beautiful sunset. I walked from the top of Benabbio to the lower car park. It was quite late, 9.45pm, and I caught the last rays of sunlight disappearing below the mountains.

It is easy to see why people live in these gorgeous mountain villages. The views are incredible at any time of the day and in every season.

Dramatic skies over Ponte a Serraglio

At sunset the other day we had a strange weather happening. A howling wind burst through the valley for about 10 minutes. It didn’t bring much rain, but the sky was amazing and it briefly turned the village a strange yellow colour.

This is the view from my balcony.

Spring this year has been much better than last year when it seemed the rain would never stop. It is still cool in the mornings and evenings but the days are glorious…come on over.
