Pietra del Cabreo - Greve del Chianti
Nestled beautifully south of Florence, you would miss it if you didn’t know,
Is the most amazingly well kept retreat, named Pietra del Cabreo.
Where you can stop to unwind and attempt to slow down the sands of time,
Amongst tranquil olive trees and row upon row of Chianti grape vines.
It’s Infinity pool disappearing within the hills is a sight of pure wonder,
To relax alongside in the Tuscany heat, before cooling off with a plunder.
The surrounding gardens and lawns so lush and wonderfully green,
Watered every morning by traversing sprinklers, that by day are not seen.
And the carefully laid path stones, create the perfect transcending walk,
As couples holding hands navigate the gardens and consistently talk.
The landscape around is so difficult to perfectly describe,
So gorgeous in its presentation and lasting so far and wide.
Butterflies cross cross each other as they carefully cruise on by,
And swallows take chance for some water, from the clear pool as they fly.
The many various trees of all shapes, shades of green and different sizes,
Growing berries and fruits and other local food prizes.
The hospitality of this place, well it’s just simply amazing from the start,
Their style, presentation and delivery, down to a fine art.
You are made to feel welcome from the very moment that you arrive,
Just what was needed for us, after such a long drive.
There was Michele the manager, Leonardo and Matteo too,
Brilliant in all they do
