Broaden Your Travel Experience This Summer With a Villa Rental

As 2010 comes to a close, I thought now would be a good time to tell you about my most recent "discovery" trip to Italy.  My time while traveling consists of reviewing properties, meeting with my guides and exploring new places for your next holiday.  I also managed to return home with a few additional pounds thanks to the wonderful food & wine but that's for another newsletter...

One of my focuses during this trip was on villas available for rent.  I was excited about what I saw and thought with the holidays approaching, you might want to discuss the possibility of a villa rental with your family and friends.  Of course, I would love to assist you with finding the right villa for your time abroad, whether in Italy or in certain other countries in Europe, such as Spain, Greece & France. 

Villa rentals vary dramatically so The Italian Concierge has developed excellent contacts with top notch rental companies in order to know you will be well cared for. 

As many of you already know, a villa rental is a wonderful way to become more immersed in the local culture, while also offering the perfect way to travel with family & friends.  In addition to often offering a savings compared to multiple hotel rooms, it also allows you the ability to relax more...lounge by your villa's pool or leisurely explore the surrounding area... whatever strikes your fancy!

I not only recommend villa stays to my clients, but also to my own family & friends.  Five years ago a group of us gathered at a villa to celebrate my husband's and my anniversary and this coming summer I am taking my family, including 3 nieces (ages 9, 10 & 12) for a week long stay in a villa, as well as a few other stops along the way.  I can't wait to watch my nieces experience Italy for their first time!  I am certainly happy to help you plan a trip with your family and/or friends as well!

There are many types of properties to choose from wherever you might want to go and I will help you narrow the field to find your right selection.  Some villas offer very little service and are more simple, while others offer pure luxury and complete service.  It is up to you.  While there are many choices to select from, you will need a week (Saturday to Saturday).  Then before and/or after your villa stay, we can add on other interesting places that are a bit too far for a daytrip from the villa.  Rest assured, regardless of your interests or group make up, we can customize the perfect trip for you.

Now is an excellent time to begin thinking about a summer or fall rental in Europe for your family and friends. Hope you enjoy!

And I wish you a wonderful holiday season!  I look forward to speaking with you soon.
