From Ravishing Ravenna to Great Greve

Atter drooling throughout Ravenna for two days at the masterful mosaics, we figured out a way out of town and drove gorgous back roads through the mountains to Greve-In-Chianti. They are slower, they are twistier but they are so much more beautiful than the auto stradas.
I am almost reluctant to report on Greve. I want to keep it it as chill as it is. This is our first real layover after 34 driviing days of one, two or three-night stands. We are ecstatic to be in Casa Remo, an AirB&B find for two whole weeks.The apartment is charming, spotless, well equipped and has a large terrace that overlooks the town's wonderful triangular Piazza Matteotti. There are no famous ruins here, no massive cathedrals, no UNESCO title, so geological wonders. Just a laid back, charming town in the middle of Chianti with oodles of restaurants and specialty shops, and wineries & hilltop towns within minimal driving distances.
We came to Greve 22 years ago and have been wanting to return that long. If we were to spend an extended time in Italy--several months or more--it would be here, or in a town very similar.
Just over one mile up a small road is a secret gem, Montefioralle with all of 100 inhabitants. This amazing little stone village has four or five restaurants with numbing views overlooking vistas of rolling hills and regimented vineyards. But it is also home to an amazing little family run restaurant we went to 22 years ago and are going back to tonight! Castellana. I'm getting hungry just writing about it. Hopefully, it will live up to my memories...
