Il Poderino In Pontassieve

19/12/2024: Delicious sandwiches and donuts, served with coffee, sweets, sweets and toys. Everything in one small shop!

27/07/2024: A week ago I arrived in Fiesole, well in advance of the B&B check-in; the heat doesn't allow us to stay outside, lunch time has passed... the bags, the tiredness of the journey, I shyly approach the tobacconist, aware that bivouacking there for 90 minutes to eat a stuffed focaccia + coffee is really very 'Genoese' ! Yet the welcome was as polite and helpful as with the -obvious- regulars: this is the Italy that I always hope to encounter when I travel, whether for work or on holiday; these are the little episodes that make you hope for the shreds of human empathy that here and there still resist.
