Two villas in Tuscany (Cortona) & an apartment in Corniglia (Cinque Terre)
May 9–27, 2007
In 2005 I started planning a trip to Italy and fortunately came across Travel and More - initially to try and learn a bit of Italian. The individualised classes were fun and flexible and I would definitely recommend the small group or individual sessions for people who don't enjoy large
community classes. From this I found that Travel and More operates an accommodation booking service - I wish I had realised this earlier - it would have saved me a lot of frustrating searches for the right villas! Once I knew how many people were going to join me (lots!). Travel and More found 2 superb villas for us that suited our needs perfectly. The first one in Southern Tuscany - in a small village near Cortona was in the most beautiful rural setting, and the second one, further north and close to Certaldo - near San Gimignano, was amazing with its 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Both had stunning views and beautiful swimming pools. At both villas we enlisted the services of the local mamas to cook in house for us a couple of times-
this should not be missed! They also found me a perfect apartment in Corniglia in the Cinque Terra which was exactly what I asked for - on a hilltop, with a balcony over -looking the ocean.
I cannot thank you all enough for their help and attention to detail in making last years holiday definitely the trip of a lifetime.
Annie.
