The villa locations span throughout Italy, whether you wish to be on the enchanting Amalfi coastline or a peaceful retreat amongst the rolling hills of Tuscany and Umbria or maybe close to one of the magnificent cities of art and architecture in the 'art triangle' formed by Florence, Siena and Pisa or off to island of Sicily, there is somewhere just waiting for you. The ancient towns of Lucca, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni are well worth a visit, see the beautiful stonework on the churches and cathedrals and their medieval towers.
During Spring and Autumn Italy is at its best, the scenery is wonderful with the vineyards and olive groves in full growth, the temperatures are mild and the number of visitors are less. August is the month that many Italians take their holidays, and this can cause certain shops to close. Italy is blessed with a temperate climate but the weather can vary depending on your location from the sea or the mountains. The summer months are hot and dry, but if you are on the coast you have the cooling sea breezes. In winter the mountain areas provide ideal skiing climate, or during the warmer months it provides magnificent scenic drives or walks.
