Today Chris Christensen of the Amateur Traveler Website tells us about his experience at a villa in Tuscany. The villa is located in Montalcino which is well-known for its award winning wines. Enjoy...

It never occurred to us to go to Italy. That strikes me as particularly odd considering how much we have discovered we love the place.

We certainly were aware how much we loved the food. As a history buff I knew the history. But for some reason, it hadn't been on our roadmap of places to see - until we got the call.

A friend of ours, Chris, was planning on celebrating his 40th birthday and had decided to do it at a villa in Tuscany. With the proceeds of a recent bonus he had rented out a villa in Tuscany near the mountain top town of Montalcino and was now putting out the word to come and join him. That's the sort of offer that does not happen that often so even though we didn't know a  Vino Nobile from a Brunello, even though we hadn't read 'Under the Tuscan Sun', we booked our tickets nearly immediately.     Read More

Perhaps no other city contains so many visual treasures than Florence. Painting, sculpture, architecture, gardens – a gilded gallery of a city so stunning it can cause visitors to collapse in their hotel rooms, not from exhaustion, but from inspiration overload.

In the midst of this mind-bending beauty, it is easy to forget that Florence is also the birthplace of modern literature. Dante Alighieri, in the 14th century, created the Italian language while writing what is probably the most iconic post-Homer poem in human history – The Divine Comedy.

If Helen of Troy was the “lady who launched a thousand ships,” Florence is the city that captivated legions of writers – John Milton, Charles Dickens, E.M. Forster, Mary Shelley, D.H. Lawrence, T.S. Eliot, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Oscar Wilde, and countless others.
