Tuscany
Does anyone haave any suggestions for Villas for four in the Tuscany area of Italy? We will be spending about 2 weeks there next fall & would like a nice place that we could explore from in a central area. We have all been to Italy several times but never staayed in a Villa or apartment or whatever you want to call it. We arent traveling on a shoe string, however we don't want to spend a fortune. <BR><BR>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Sarah<BR><BR>wcblan [email protected]

Sarah, Go to slowtrav.com as mentioned above first. Then, www.tuscany.net to look at many rental options. Your criteria should be LOCATION, PRICE,AND LOCATION. I would look at self-catering apts. for only 4 people.Many are in very nice rural settings, but you will not be isolated by yourself.

Sarah: <BR><BR>Look into Casa Satti in Montecarlo. Montecarlo is a small Tuscan hilltown very close to Lucca, Siena, Pisa and Florence. We had an incredible stay at Casa Satti this summer. The information on them is:<BR><BR>Casa Satti<BR>Via Roma 31,55015<BR>Montecarlo–Lucca, Italy<BR>011-39-0583-22347<BR>Fax: 011-39-0583-22007<BR>Contact: Bianca Satti Tori<BR>[email protected] or [email protected]<BR><a href=...asatti.com</a>

Sarah-<BR>I just reserved a villa near Lucca from rentvillas.com. Very reasonable rates and a lot of choices. Also received beautiful big catalogs from the parker company and from tuscanynow.com., although they were a bit more expensive. Good luck! IT's a lot of fun trying to decide from among the hundreds of choices. Decide what you want to see first, then decide where would be a good homebase. We're planning side trips to the Cinque Terre as well as Siena, Florence and Chianti wineries, so Lucca was the best choice for us.
