We’ve enjoyed a really nice period of spring weather in Italy, the wisteria flowers are blooming, and like many, we are thinking of heading to the coast. This time to the Tuscan Maremma area, land of historical tufa cities and beautiful coastline, all with the help of this day-tripper itinerary. Or what about getting a feel of the “slow travel” philosophy by riding on board 1920’s steam trains along some of Italy's scenic routes. Last week we celebrated the 2768th birthday of the Eternal city, Rome, that always manages to stay young and just got a tip off for unique night tours in the colisseum. We also recommended this wonderful cooking school in the heart of Rome. Next we delved in 1980’s fashion in Italy, all in the name of discovering the rise to fame of some of Italy’s hottest brands. For those who need a caffeine boost in the AM, our latest Italian language tips offers you some terms for ordering a coffee. Our latest property feature includes this charming villa in the land of Parmesan cheese and Parma ham, see what’s the latest house for sale.
