From the terrace of Borgo Argenina, you can see the house where Bertolucci filmed the movie Stealing Beauty. Taking the advice of Elena Nappa, the owner of the B&B, three of us ventured off to find the “Double Tree” and the house. We did find the double tree and it was magnificent. However, we pegged the wrong house, so I had to borrow pictures from Elena’s facebook profile (go ahead and friend her! You can see what is going on in her part of the world before your trip to Tuscany).

We almost ‘took a peek’ in the wrong house. If we had spend just a couple minutes less at the “Double Tree”, we would have made it in right before the owners pulled in. They turned down the road leading to the house right before we did. Of course, we thought they were also going to see the abandoned house from Stealing Beauty. However, when a dog came out to greet them and they made there way inside (like they had done this before), we took a better look at the house and decided it was the wrong one. Uh-oh, had we been two minutes earlier, we would have had some ‘splainin to do!!
