Travel Italy with Spring Package Deal

Scituate, MA (PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- Homebase Abroad has announced a "Beat the Heat and Busy Crowds of Summer" package to Tuscany designed for those who want to try a Tuscan villa vacation and can take advantage of central Italy's lovely spring weather. The package features Villa la Torre in Chianti, located 15 minutes from Florence's famous Ponte Vecchio. The villa comfortably accommodates up to six couples or 12 guests for $12,600/week ($150 per person per night) between April 14 and May 19. Easter week and Memorial Day Week are available for $14,200 ($170 per person per night).



This package includes a Welcome Dinner with two bottles of estate wine, daily cleaning, service for Continental Breakfast six mornings, a private tour of the owner's wine estate and the services of Homebase Abroad's Concierge throughout the stay. Up to six complimentary half-liters of the owner's olive oil are also included. Wine tastings, cooking classes, gastronomic and cultural tours of Florence and other special programs can be added. Villa la Torre is within 30 minutes of Greve in Chianti and within 50 minutes of Cortona, Siena and Lucca.

"Villa vacations are ideally suited to those who are fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule and an active appetite for appreciating other cultures," says Mara Solomon, founder and director of Homebase Abroad. "This package is designed to appeal to those who have not yet been to Tuscany and are looking for a somewhat structured itinerary, but also want to enjoy their own free time and independence."

Villa La Torre is an ideal choice for a first Italian villa vacation, and there is no better time to enjoy it than the spring, when the Tuscan hills are green and blossoming with new life. The luxury villa is spacious and conveniently appointed with all the comforts of modern life, so guests can enjoy the extraordinary setting, service and privacy of a well-chosen villa. The location is ideal for getting to know major tourist destinations such as Florence, Siena, and Chianti, where guests can meander through the medieval stone pathways and take in the Tuscan food and culture. Ideal for groups of friends or mature couples traveling together, an Italian vacation at Villa La Torre is the perfect opportunity to relax and explore Italy in the spring.
