We left Pisa and drove north to the town of Camaiore where we checked in to our lovely inn - Locanda Le Monache. The Le Monache Inn, that takes its name from a monastery of Carmelite cloistered nuns (1590 -1901) that was located in the adjoining building, is in the heart of Camaiore's historical centre.The Inn was opened in 1923 and was a place where travellers and rovers could rest.The building has recently been renovated by the Bertozzi's who have always run this business and who have have been handing down the art of hospitality for 4 generations.This was the view from our window - the town square, where earlier this day - one of the stages of the Giro d'Itlalia took place.
