We are looking to rent a villa for one month oceanfront or with a pool in Tuscany, Puglia, Liguria or Sardinia.  We would probably rent for September because it is not as busy and is less expensive.

I was finally able to find the website you recommended.  I was entering: homebasedabroad.com.  The address is homebaseabroad.com.  They have beautiful villas.  They do not post the rates.  It is in the same category as The Thinking Traveller based in the UK.  Thank you for the information.

Thank you.  Tuscany is a wonderful area and near a lake can be an option.  We have looked at Subito.it: fortunately I can read Italian and we can certainly find some ads there.  Thank you for that information also.

I live in Canada and many Italians are from the Calabria area.  I heard that Cosenza is beautiful, Tropea and other areas.  But since the infrastructure is not well developed, that means it is difficult to find something suitable and affordable.  We are looking at the Puglia area as well.  Now, a good option for the first time might be a Masseria.  There seems to be many of those in the Puglia area. Some of them are pricy but luxurious enough and close to the sea. We have not checked the Calabria area yet.

Thank you.  When would be a good time to go? June? We rented a house in Umbria in the area of Lago Trasimeno one summer. We were there one month in June and we had very warm weather.  We were in the hills with no air conditioning and no screens in the windows.  We would not go in August because of the crowded beaches.  And what would be a great summer destination by the ocean? Calabria? Puglia? We are flexible.

you can google italian online radio stations and access different websites.  I listen to Italian radio stations on www.listenlive.eu.  I am a Canadian currently on holidays in Cancun, Mexico.  I brought my I-Pad and a speaker so that I can practice my Italian by listening to radio stations.  I enjoy listening to RAI Italia. On the listenlive.eu website there are also 100 links to italian stations posted by genre so there is plenty of choice there.
