On New Years Eve we were en route from Orvieto, Italy to St-Raphael, France on the French Riviera. We stopped half-way in a small town called Quiliano (see Google Map link here).
We had a room in a bed and breakfast located in this building that was huge and cold but I was sick and just wanted to get into bed and stay there.

We were in bed before midnight but kept awake both before and after by the detonation of approximately 1 bezillion firecrackers and other assorted fireworks in these seemingly peaceful streets.
We were served an excellent breakfast in a charming old dining room but, despite this, weren’t unhappy to put Quiliano in the rear view mirror.
