Ciao Tutti!
As we begin to celebrate the fall - we also begin to prepare for next year's travels. For many who had to put off their traveling this year, next year is now ready for your plans! A few new things to tell you about in addition to our fabulous anchor programs: Lessons of Tuscany and Culinary Tours with Chef Giuseppe:
Photographer Joel Wolfson is returning to the vibrant green hills of Tuscany again next spring taking along with him a small group of fortunate students to capture the hidden gems of the beautiful Val d'Orcia.
Women looking for an active journey, enriching, nurturing, challenging and spiritually rewarding, look no further than Women's Quest... See their Tuscany Program for June 2010! Cruising is more popular than ever! And when you set sail in the Med, there should be sails! Or at least one should be on a boat small enough to pull up beside the daily catch to put in your order! The small ship experience of Variety Cruises in the Mediterranean provides us with fabulous values and ideal choices to enjoy this magical land intimately by sea.
Whatever your travel desires, Italy, the Mediterranean and Villa Vita can fulfill with exceptional programs offering added values such as complimentary cooking classes and free nights in Venice. May your dreams take you there and may Villa Vita be there with you!
