Italy Holiday Accommodations: 1000 Ways to Live Your Italian Dream

Traveling to Italy is high on the list of places to go for virtually every traveler in the world. It is one of those few places in the world that does not seem to become time wearied or overdone. It also has an amazing ability to suit the tastes of an immense range of tourists. In Tuscany, for instance, the young art student enraptured in the Uffizi in a case of Stendahl's Syndrome, the gourmand swirling a rich, aged glass of a SuperTuscan and the recent college graduate traveling through Europe all put Tuscany on their "must see" list. Italy is also one of the few travel destinations that is pleasing to almost all age groups, from the smallest children to the seasoned travel veteran. Everyone can find the perfect holiday accommodation, according to his needs and wishes: bed and breakfasts in Venice, hotels in the centre of Milan, bed and breakfasts in Florence, holiday homes in Naples...

The diversity of options for lodging in Italy, is staggering. Centuries of popularity as a tourist destination have resulted in an array of choices that give everyone an ideal option. Are you taking a slow casual vacation, indulging in tasting vintage after vintage of Chianti? Or does your Italian dream vacation focus on Mediterranean shores slowly lapped by warm waves and languid days of your toes in the sand? The dream is different for many, and whether you choose to bring your whole family to a Florence holiday home so they can experience the birthplace of the Renaissance or you want a quiet romantic time in a tranquil hotel in Siena; it is sure to be one of the best vacations of your life.

The hospitality of the Italians is world famous. This is not only true in regards to food and restaurants, but also in the lodgings. The conversion of an old family home to a bed and breakfast has been happening for ages. Both hostels and five star hotels are equally popular throughout the country because of its immense appeal to so many different people. In Tuscany you can take a bicycle tour of the stunning hills surrounding the Arno, then returning to your Florence holiday home before an evening of bistecca and soft candlelight, indulging in a DOCG Chianti would appeal to both the athlete and the gourmand.

Whenever you join the millions that have lived their version of the Italian dream you are sure to bring home memories that will last a lifetime. The idea of returning to that same little romantic bed and breakfast in Tuscany or again wading through the small, warm waves of the Mediterranean will draw you back. Perhaps the next time you return your version of the dream will have changed. Maybe the next time you will take an agritourism vacation with a group of couples that are addicted to the ancient vines and 1000 year old farmhouses. Or perhaps a trip with your entire extended family in one 3 stars hotel in Milan or a cheap accommodation in Venice, will be your next version of the dream.

Help me with Italian & Vintage Engagement Ring Trends?

Its getting to the point that I should start looking for engagement rings to propose to my girlfriend with. She loves the Italian culture and Italy is her favorite place on earth. She also is an old soul who would much rather be alive in the 40's or 50's so I want to get her a unique ring that will mean a lot more to her than just throwing away a lot of money and a generic ring. The problem though is this, I can't find any information on chracteristics or popular trends in vintage or italian engagement rings. If anyone has any insight, I (and my girlfriend) would be extremely grateful!! Thanks in advance!
