Your guide to a perfect Italian Holiday

Visitors come to Tuscany for many reasons, some come for the fine art, some to explore the unspoilt countryside, and others to enjoy the exquisite local cuisine. Whatever your reason, our aim to provide you with everything from basic information, geography and history, to travel bookings, party organisation and places to stay.

Our business is building and maintaining a network including villa owners, restaurateurs, travel companies, insurance companies and more in order to provide complete and original holiday solutions to suit your requirements.

Packages and options

• Fly + Drive - there are many airlines and car hire firms to choose from. We can make the selection easy and in most cases handle most of the booking chores for you. In addition, we can advise on optional insurance packages, what you don't need and what you really do! Currently one-way flights can vary between £25 and £60, the exact amount will vary depending on exactly when you fly and how far in advance you make the booking.
• Drive all the way - if you are visiting from the UK and there are two or more of you, driving (assuming you have a suitable vehicle) can be a surprisingly cost-effective alternative. Not only is the ferry cheaper than flying, you can obviously avoid the car-hire in Italy and many of the risks associated with an unknown rental vehicle. We can provide routes, access to someone who's done the trip before, or even an end-to-end guide.
• Biker! - this option covers is available in both of the above flavours but assumes that you ride a motorcycle and are looking at least partly for a motorcycling holiday. Italian roads are some of the best in Europe for motorcyclists and good 20 mile stretches of continuous switchbacks are not uncommon. Recommended for relatively experienced motorcyclists only.
• Driver - we can add a dedicated driver to your package so not only can your entire party sample the fantastic local wines, but you also have someone who is familiar with the roads (and associated rules!) who's less likely to cut your holiday short for you. Typically this works well for larger parties who are using one larger vehicle.
• Accommodation - we can either pre-book one or more locations for you, or you can book properties as you go in true road-trip style. We have access to all types of properly from motels and flats to fully-fledged villa's with their own pool.
• Meals and Parties - if you have a Birthday or Anniversary while you are in Italy, or indeed if this is the reason for the trip, consider letting us organise an event for you. We can book any number of quality restaurants or clubs for you, or indeed book overnight parties at larger establishments or villas with a Chef's to prepare a meal of your choice.
  
• Internet Access - these days it can be very stressful to be disconnected from the Internet and indeed work and relatives for any length of time. This in itself can impair the enjoyment of your holiday. We can provide access to general telephony services, 3G mobile email, 3G broadband  Internet and ADSL broadband Internet services as part of any package.
  

Your holiday in Italy could be the best week of your life, if you are going to organise the trip yourself,  take a look around the site, we're adding to it all the time and you may find something of use, at the very least some sites you might not otherwise have thought to visit.
