Ciao a tutti,

We can truly think of few things better than Italian gelato on a hot May day and that is why we are quite excited about the Florence gelato festival at the end of this month. Three days worshipping gelato in all its various shapes and forms!

If you still haven't made up your mind about where in Italy you might want to visit this summer have a look at Pat's article on Valle d'Aosta. While the region is packed during the skiing season it can offer some great treats during summer as well. As Pat points out, the Pope goes there for his summer break and not without good reason.

Finally, a language tip to keep you busy. When do you say "ti amo" and when "ti voglio bene". Get it right to avoid some confused looks from your Italian friends!

Arrivederci!

Borgo Belvederi - Five-star accommodation in Le Marche

Borgo Belvederi is a magnificent and secluded ancient hamlet, nestled on top of a green hill about 2 miles from the city of Camerino, in Le Marche.
Overlooking the valley, the eight homes of the Borgo offer five-star accommodation in a unique setting, not far from the sandy beaches of the Adriatic, the tall Sibilllini mountains and some of the most famous cities of art of Central Italy.
Enjoy the large scenic pool, or wander around the Borgo and its surrounding chestnut forest. Discover the nearby picturesque villages, ancient retreats, ghost towns and medieval castles, or just relax by the small piazza sipping our own label wine.
