We left Rome after breakfast and got stuck in the morning traffic. There was a roadwork going on by the river Tiber. Once we cleared that, we got going north.
The route took us via Viterbo to Bolsena where we stopped for lunch.
Following the Mille Miglia 2019 roadbook takes you along various smaller roads, occasional stretches of dual carriage ways and through villages and cities. We skip the city centers which Mille Miglia visit. Mainly because we don’t have the benefit of police escort and reserved roads…
But the roads in the hills are stunning. Even if the road surface could be (much) better. We even ended up on a bit of gravel road on SP75. We are not 100% sure if this was part of the Mille Miglia route or not. But the scenery was great. And the surface felt very much authentic.
We arrived at our destination just after 6 o’clock. Tonight we are staying at an agriturismo near San Gimignano. It’s called Poderi Arcangelo and it’s well worth a visit. We booked a junior suite including ”Half Board Package in Tuscany with dinner included”.
277 km, 5 hours and 12 minutes drive.
Tomorrow we’ll continue the Mille Miglia route through Tuscany.
