In October 2012 we rented 2 villas in san gimignano . Pulling up to villa massi we were unsure what to expect, some of our friends and family were already there and greeted us with smiling faces. The relief that everyone was pleased with our choice of villa was immense. We hire both massi one and two and could not have been happier with our choice ...  Mehr

Once settled in, unpacked and caught up with our friends, we ...  Mehr

This time around, we're back in the car, but things are a little different. Instead of five, we're three; The old, white ...  Mehr

One of the adjustments to having only grown children is the discovery that family vacations no longer exist in the same way. We used to load up the station wagon with suitcases, camping equipment, pack in the girls and an extra guest or two and take “wing”. We didn’t have much spending money, so air travel was limited to a once every three ...  Mehr

As a child growing up in Chicago I remember my mother's family often returning to Ceserano, a small hilltop town in northwest Italy. Stories of this village were part of my daily life. This was the town of her parents and ...  Mehr

Our week in San Gimignano and our stay in Borgo Tollena was the best trip to Europe done by wife and me. We have travelled to Europe a lot, but our week in Tuscany was the best. Being a week in Borgo Tollena we felt we were living the local Tuscan life and being San Gimignano locals. Driving all around Tuscany was a treat we will never forget. I ...  Mehr
