Italy Special Places to Stay (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay Italy)

by Alastair Sawday (Author)

Synopsis

Here are hundreds of irresistible excuses for going to Italy. Be welcomed and utterly seduced by the vitality and sheer authenticity of Italy and its people. This collection of some 400 places provides ready-made friends and contacts, with beautiful and interesting houses to spend time in. Stay in a B&B at the foot of Mount Etna, a medieval hamlet in Le Marche, an eco-pod in Puglia - there's even an entire village in Tuscany. Find plenty to do and learn too; we have a farm that runs pottery and textile holidays in Puglia, and one in Tuscany where you can go truffle hunting or honey collecting. Plus our Ethical Collection, marked on entry pages, highlights owners' commitment to the environment, the community or to serving local or organic food.
