Rome - We found an efficiency apartment in the heart of historic Rome... the only tourists within five blocks.  We were within walking distance of most major sights.

Tuscany - Another extraordinary find... a beautifully renovated farm house on a bluff overlooking the Italian countryside.  Less than a mile from the walled city of Volterra, we spent a week visiting Sienna, San Gimignano, Florience, and the Chianti valley area.

Amalfi - One of the most scenic drives along the coast of Italy with a visit to Ville Rufolo.

Ponza - A charming and seldom visited Italian island with dramitic coves and cliffs.

Venice and the Veneto - A very special Tauck Culturious Tour of this beautiful and historic region with several unexpected surprises.
