Ned an Italian Villa!
 

We just returned from a wonderful two weeks in Southern France and Italy. Everytime I go to Italy, I become more enthralled with the country. Next fall we would like to rent a villa around Florence, Lucca or somewhere close. Do you know of any websites that I can explore the possibility of renting a place for a couple of weeks? We are getting tired of driving all over the place staying one night at a time in an area. We would like to explore the little villages in more depth. We want to take mostly daytrips.

Try rentvillas.com, one of the better agencies for villa rentals. They have plenty to offer in that area of Italy. Good luck.

slowtrav.com has lots of villa reviews and information

I have heard wonderful things about Parkervillas.com

Hi lynda,

I second taking a look at www.slowtrav.com.

They are Italy experts.

I agree--stay away from the agencies until you read reviews of agencies and rentals at slowtrav.com.
