Wide archway adjoins the spacious living room, and like all rooms on this level, it has a high beamed ceiling. As a result, you get beautiful views across the countryside from every window.

Remainder of the property has olive and fruit tree orchards and a seasonal vegetable garden with a yet another sitting group in its center.\r\n<h3>History of La Casella Villa in Tuscany</h3>\r\nLa Casella was originally a watch tower. The Papal army utilized it during the medieval period because the tower provided wide views over the region. Sections of the tower fell down during the centuries, due to wars and weather conditions. The damaged tower was rebuilt in various ways, to be used either as a watch tower, for housing or farm storage. Lower Part of the house was built in the second half of the 1800\'s. When the current owner bought it, he found the ground floor used as a stable, cow shed and pigsty, while the tower was a grain storehouse. You can read the story of the remodeling and see the changes in the photos at the house-book of the villa.\r\n<h3>Location of Villa in Cetona, Tuscany</h3>\r\nWe reach the famous towns of Montepulciano and Pienza in almost half an hour.

You’ll be prepared when the terrain gets rough. “Also, it’s a sunny beach town, so remember to bring plenty of water on your hike,” Levitt said. We recommend bringing a large hat to keep the sun out of your eyes, and lots of sunscreen. And remember to treat these hikes in Cinque Terre like you would treat any other hike.

Remainder of the property has olive and fruit tree orchards and a seasonal vegetable garden with a yet another sitting group in its center.\r\n<h3>History of La Casella Villa in Tuscany</h3>\r\nLa Casella was originally a watch tower. The Papal army utilized it during the medieval period because the tower provided wide views over the region. Sections of the tower fell down during the centuries, due to wars and weather conditions. The damaged tower was rebuilt in various ways, to be used either as a watch tower, for housing or farm storage. Lower Part of the house was built in the second half of the 1800\'s. When the current owner bought it, he found the ground floor used as a stable, cow shed and pigsty, while the tower was a grain storehouse. You can read the story of the remodeling and see the changes in the photos at the house-book of the villa.\r\n<h3>Location of Villa in Cetona, Tuscany</h3>\r\nWe reach the famous towns of Montepulciano and Pienza in almost half an hour.

(8099, 2, '2019-04-11 09:14:55', '2019-04-10 23:14:55', 'The origin for Etruscans in Tuscany has been a matter of debate for many centuries, with Roman scholars such as Livy claiming they were either from central Europe or original and indigenous people of central Italy. But DNA testing done in 2007 verified information coming from the Greek historian Herodotus, written around 450 BCE. According to Herodotus, the Etruscans were originally Lydians, who lived in the western half of Turkey during the Iron Age. They evolved in this region after the decline of the famous Hittite Empire. At a time of crop failures and hunger, the Lydians had sent a part of their population west on boats that ended up in central Italy. This study showed that nearest genetic relatives for many of today\'s Tuscans and Umbrians we would find, not in Italy, but around Izmir in Anatolia, Turkey.\r\n\r\nThe latest testing in 2013 of mitochondrial DNA has swung the results back in favor of Livy, showing that Etruscans appear to fall very close to a Neolithic population from Central Europe (after last Ice Age), and are ancestral to the modern inhabitants of Casentino and Volterra. This latest study is strongly suggesting that the Etruscan civilization developed locally from the Villanovan culture. These genetic links date back to at least 5,000 years ago during the Neolithic period, therefore predating the more recent Lydian and Anatolian connection. Stay tuned for further studies.\r\n<h2>Etruscans in Tuscany</h2>\r\nThe first traces of Etruscan civilisation in Italy date from about 1200 BCE. The ancient Romans referred to the Etruscans as the Tuscii or Etruscii. Their Roman name is the origin of the terms Tuscany, that refers to their heartland, and Etruria that refers to the wider region they controlled. Etruscan sites are located from north of Bologna to south of Rome. Etruria proper was roughly the territory between the rivers Arno and Tiber, including Tuscany, western Umbria and northern Latium. Etruscans were the founders of the city of Rome itself. The myth of Romulus and Remus was created in the 3<sup>rd</sup> century BCE and perpetuated during the reign of Augustus, to hide that fact. Even the legend of the she-wolf has Etruscan origins.\r\n<h2>Etruscan Writing and Language</h2>\r\nAround 700 BCE, borrowing Greek letters, the Etruscans wrote down their own language. We are left with many myths because Etruscan literature didn\'t survive through Roman conquest and medieval upheavals. What we have is the limited vocabulary of inscriptions inside tombs and on art objects. They provide evidence of an advanced culture that included all aspects of civic, religious, economic and social life. And because the writings of Greeks and Romans tell us very little about Etruscan history, we must shift for clues in the vast remains of Etruscan art.\r\n<h2>The 12 Cities of Etruria</h2>\r\nEtruria was never a nation-state. They had a federation of 12 cities whose common meeting place was a sanctuary in Velsna, presumed to be modern-day Orvieto. The leaders of each city met there once a year. We have no archaeological evidence of this site or even which 12 cities exactly were included is uncertain. But they shared common culture, religion and commerce with a vast network of trade.\r\n<h2>Cultural Influence from the Greeks</h2>\r\nWhile Phoenicians and Greeks colonized Southern Italy, Sicily, Corsica and the French Riviera, the Etruscans were able to hold onto their land and growing trading routes. However, Etruscan culture was heavily influenced by the Greeks. Etruscans visited Greek shrines and shared their own temples. They adopted Greek customs, like the symposium (the formal drinking party), but developed their own rules such as including women. The Etruscan \"aristocracy\" shared many values with their Greek counterparts, including literacy, enjoyment of epic poetry and the ownership of finely crafted luxury items.\r\n<h2>Etruscan Art and the Flight of Ikaros</h2>\r\nMuch of Etruscan art was actually produced by Greek artists. We can tell this not only by the style but also by the signatures of individual artists who had been settling in Etruria since the 7<sup>th</sup> century BCE. Greek painters, sculptors, bronze-smiths, and also carpenters, architects and masons were in great demand for their skills all around the Mediterranean. The oldest reference to the famous Greek mythological craftsman, Daedalus, who lost his son Ikaros on the flight westward, comes from an Etruscan clay jug found in a c. 650 BCE tomb located in the city of Cerveteri. Art historians usually give the highest value to Greek art, particularly Athenian of the classic period during 5<sup>th</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> centuries BCE. It does appear that Etruscan art in some areas was behind the quality and technique produced in Athens, like with vase painting and marble sculpture, but ahead of the Athenians in gold jewelry and terra cotta figures.\r\n<h2>Archeological Sites and Museums in Etruria</h2>\r\nThe largest archaeological sites are at Cerveteri and Tarquinia. Other sites include Tuscania, Veii, Pygri, Perugia, Talamone, Vulci, Viterbo, Murlo, Chiusi, Orvieto, Volterra and Marzabotto. Many cities in the Etrurian area have very interesting archeological museums. The most extensive collection of artifacts, and some of the most famous objects, are located at the Villa Giulia museum in Rome. The smaller museum in Chiusi was recently remodeled in 2003 and provides a very informative and user-friendly experience. We highly recommended a visit to the Chiusi Archaeological Museum for people vacationing in central Italy. You can visit the museum 9.30 am - 7.30 pm every day.\r\n<h2>Etruscans became Romans</h2>\r\nThe Etruscan Tarquin dynasty ruled Rome until 509 BCE. The building of the city continued with Etruscan and Greco-Etruscan artists and craftsmen. The Augustan historian Livy tells us that for the building of the temple of Jupiter on Capitoline hill, artisans came from all over Etruria. The growing Rome conquered and absorbed the Etruscan cities one by one. The first was the city of Veii in 396 BCE. Etruscans became increasingly Romanized, their language replaced and eventually, in the year 90 BCE, Rome extended the rights of its citizenship throughout Etruria. Many famous Romans, such as Cicero, were proud of their Etruscan heritage and the emperor Claudius studied their language and wrote a history of the Etruscans.\r\n\r\nVisit the museum in center of historical Chiusi, address:\r\nVia Porsenna 93, 53043 Chiusi (Si).

The growing Rome conquered and absorbed the Etruscan cities one by one. The first was the city of Veii in 396 BCE. Etruscans became increasingly Romanized, their language replaced and eventually, in the year 90 BCE, Rome extended the rights of its citizenship throughout Etruria.

But DNA testing done in 2007 verified information coming from the Greek historian Herodotus, written around 450 BCE. According to Herodotus, the Etruscans were originally Lydians, who lived in the western half of Turkey during the Iron Age. They evolved in this region after the decline of the famous Hittite Empire. At a time of crop failures and hunger, the Lydians had sent a part of their population west on boats that ended up in central Italy. This study showed that nearest genetic relatives for many of today\'s Tuscans and Umbrians we would find, not in Italy, but around Izmir in Anatolia, Turkey.\r\n\r\nThe latest testing in 2013 of mitochondrial DNA has swung the results back in favor of Livy, showing that Etruscans appear to fall very close to a Neolithic population from Central Europe (after last Ice Age), and are ancestral to the modern inhabitants of Casentino and Volterra. This latest study is strongly suggesting that the Etruscan civilization developed locally from the Villanovan culture. These genetic links date back to at least 5,000 years ago during the Neolithic period, therefore predating the more recent Lydian and Anatolian connection. Stay tuned for further studies.\r\n<h2>Etruscans in Tuscany</h2>\r\nThe first traces of Etruscan civilization in Italy date from about 1200 BCE. The ancient Romans referred to the Etruscans as the Tuscii or Etruscii. Their Roman name is the origin of the terms Tuscany, that refers to their heartland, and Etruria that refers to the wider region they controlled. Etruscan sites are located from north of Bologna to south of Rome. Etruria proper was roughly the territory between the rivers Arno and Tiber, including Tuscany, western Umbria and northern Latium. Etruscans were the founders of the city of Rome itself. The myth of Romulus and Remus was created in the 3<sup>rd</sup> century BCE and perpetuated during the reign of Augustus, to hide that fact. Even the legend of the she-wolf has Etruscan origins.\r\n<h2>Etruscan Writing and Language</h2>\r\nAround 700 BCE, borrowing Greek letters, the Etruscans wrote down their own language. We are left with many myths because Etruscan literature didn\'t survive through Roman conquest and medieval upheavals. What we have is the limited vocabulary of inscriptions inside tombs and on art objects. They provide evidence of an advanced culture that included all aspects of civic, religious, economic and social life. And because the writings of Greeks and Romans tell us very little about Etruscan history, we must shift for clues in the vast remains of Etruscan art.\r\n<h2>The 12 Cities of Etruria</h2>\r\nEtruria was never a nation-state. They had a federation of 12 cities whose common meeting place was a sanctuary in Velsna, presumed to be modern-day Orvieto. The leaders of each city met there once a year. We have no archaeological evidence of this site or even which 12 cities exactly were included is uncertain. But they shared common culture, religion and commerce with a vast network of trade.\r\n<h2>Cultural Influence from the Greeks</h2>\r\nWhile Phoenicians and Greeks colonized Southern Italy, Sicily, Corsica and the French Riviera, the Etruscans were able to hold onto their land and growing trading routes. However, Etruscan culture was heavily influenced by the Greeks. Etruscans visited Greek shrines and shared their own temples. They adopted Greek customs, like the symposium (the formal drinking party), but developed their own rules such as including women. The Etruscan \"aristocracy\" shared many values with their Greek counterparts, including literacy, enjoyment of epic poetry and the ownership of finely crafted luxury items.\r\n<h2>Etruscan Art and the Flight of Ikaros</h2>\r\nMuch of Etruscan art was actually produced by Greek artists. We can tell this not only by the style but also by the signatures of individual artists who had been settling in Etruria since the 7<sup>th</sup> century BCE. Greek painters, sculptors, bronze-smiths, and also carpenters, architects and masons were in great demand for their skills all around the Mediterranean. The oldest reference to the famous Greek mythological craftsman, Daedalus, who lost his son Ikaros on the flight westward, comes from an Etruscan clay jug found in a c. 650 BCE tomb located in the city of Cerveteri. Art historians usually give the highest value to Greek art, particularly Athenian of the classic period during 5<sup>th</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> centuries BCE. It does appear that Etruscan art in some areas was behind the quality and technique produced in Athens, like with vase painting and marble sculpture, but ahead of the Athenians in gold jewelry and terra cotta figures.\r\n<h2>Archeological Sites and Museums in Etruria</h2>\r\nThe largest archaeological sites are at Cerveteri and Tarquinia.

The area’s mountain rescue units are fed up with tourists who choose to wear the flimsy foot apparel, then attempt a hike in the Italian town and get stuck. So now they’re fining tourists who put them on and can’t get down.\r\n\r\nThe head of the area’s national park is Patrizio Scarpellini, who says the problem is that people come here thinking they are at the seaside, but the paths above the villages are really mountain trails. When tourists walk from town to town, the paths sometimes lead them over rugged, narrow mountain terrain.\r\n\r\nThose wearing only flip-flops while trekking Cinque Terre’s rugged, narrow paths often hike to a point where their shoes aren’t sturdy enough to allow them to climb back down. Then they have to call on Club Alpino Italiano, the volunteer hiking organization responsible for saving hikers, for help.\r\n\r\nTired of wasting resources to save hikers who need rescue just because of their footwear, Club Alpino Italiano will start fining. Fines can run anywhere from $56 to $2,824, depending on the difficulty of the assistance provided and the amount of money the rescuers have to spend to “save” those in need. But, says Scarpellini, visitors will be warned first with a public information campaign about proper hike preparedness: “First we will introduce the information campaign, then we’ll start issuing fines.” After that, visitors who do not heed the warning will literally pay a price.\r\n\r\nThe move comes as the region, known as The Five Lands, braces for its tourist season in April. This year, 750,000 cruise ship passengers are projected to visit, compared to 2018’s 450,000.\r\n<div class=\"note right\">\r\n<div>\r\n<h4 class=\"quote_right\"><span class=\"body text-left\">Visitors who do not heed the warning will literally pay a price.</span></h4>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<h1 class=\"jsArticleSub\"><strong>Our Editors Agree, This Hike Is Hard</strong></h1>\r\n“Though they might be labeled as ‘easy,’ travelers should know that these hikes are serious and, despite some paths being less difficult to traverse than others, many are interspersed with extremely rugged terrain that are very close to cliffs’ edges,” said Fodor’s Managing Editor Rachael Levitt, who made the mistake of attempting the hike in flip-flops like so many unwitting visitors do. Additionally, Levitt emphasized, although there might be actual steps carved into the paths, hikers are literally climbing over mountains, and once you begin the torturous hike, it can feel like there’s no turning back.\r\n\r\nFodor’s Digital Editorial Director Jeremy Tarr feels similarly: “I thought it would be a very simple, beautiful stroll through the mountains,” Tarr said. “But, honestly, it was <em>hard</em>.” At some point along the hike, Tarr says, he and his wife just stopped talking to each other and that’s when he knew they’d made a mistake. “It’s a long, uphill hike; I’m not against hiking—I’ve done the Inca Trail—but I knew I was doing the Inca Trail before I did the Inca Trail.”\r\n<div class=\"text-center banner\">\r\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-860125\" class=\"mid-ad\"></div>\r\n</div>\r\nAfter the hike, he was wiped out. “We went to eat at a little outdoor restaurant, and I was so discombobulated and exhausted that I inadvertently slammed down my wine glass, shattering it like a Real Housewife, and then fell off my chair,” he said. “It was very embarrassing. And I blame the hike.”\r\n<h1 class=\"jsArticleSub\"><b>If You Are Hiking in Cinque Terre, Here’s How You Can Prepare</b></h1>\r\nJust to reiterate: Please wear proper hiking shoes when you’re exploring the towns on foot. You’ll be prepared when the terrain gets rough. “Also, it’s a sunny beach town, so remember to bring plenty of water on your hike,” Levitt said.

But being the last of the Autumn months, there\'s a change to shorter days and it can be often be grey and overcast with rain on the horizon. While November days can be quite pleasant, weather this month is unpredictable, with great variability. Being Tuscany’s wettest month, November gets over 4 inches of rain on average. Afternoon highs are at 15°C but the low is down to 7°C. With these low temperatures, you need to pack accordingly. Bring a warm waterproof jacket and sweaters to keep warm outdoors. And waterproof hiking boots to be comfortable while exploring or while picking olives.\r\n<h2>This is the Olive Picking Season</h2>\r\nWe have helped many friends with farms pick their olives in November. If you get a nice day, it can be loads of fun to be outside, combing the branches with your hand, fingers wide apart, to catch the olives and not pull off the leaves. This is work mostly done by hand, when family and friends gather to work thru the olive grove, gathering for a hearty picnic or barbecue lunch for nourishment. Then we take the olives to the local press. Often we stay there well into the night, since everyone is pressing olives at the same time. You stay with the olives as they get washed and chopped, then ground under stone wheels in a huge vat. Next the pulp is spinning thru the centrifuge to separate water from oil, then finally the cloudy bright green oil drizzles into your container. Beautiful stuff, the fresh oil is delicious and surprisingly <em>piccante</em> hot.

Standard menu and the daily menu are both worth looking thru. Lots of choices but the reason many come here is the big thick steak the owner chops off and brings to show for your approval. Your steak will be cooking on the wood burning BBQ you see ablaze way back in the kitchen.  This is a long and narrow space that packs in tables and chairs. Therefore you sometimes need to share the long communal table with other foodies. But it\'s fun for us to rub shoulders and get to know fellow travelers while eating the most authentic local food in Montepulciano.\r\n<h3>Menu at Osteria Acquacheta</h3>\r\nPici and several other pastas and soup are made with pure homespun goodness, all local stuff. The big Fiorentina steak dominates the long list of mains. This steak is a meat-lover\'s dream come true but it\'s huge, so share it with 2 or more people. Grilled pigeon, rabbit, pork, sausages … deer, duck, salt-cod, truffles, baked cheese … and the excellent choice of many greens and vegetables. Giulio, the owner is a famously grumpy-looking guy, but has a sense of humor and speaks English. Some customers don’t get it, so reviews can be mixed. But take my word for it, Acquacheta is an excellent place for a hearty and delicious meal that doesn\'t break the budget.\r\n<h3>Wine tips at the Osteria</h3>\r\nThe owner offers very decent local red and white wines, but also encourage you to bring your own special bottle. You pay only 1.5 euros per person for corkage. They serve wine in simple short glasses, so don\'t look any high stem goblets here.

Standard menu and the daily menu are both worth looking thru. Lots of choices but the reason many come here is the big thick steak the owner chops off and brings to show for your approval. Your steak will be cooking on the wood burning BBQ you see ablaze way back in the kitchen.  This is a long and narrow space that packs in tables and chairs.

The big Fiorentina steak dominates the long list of mains. This steak is a meat-lover\'s dream come true but it\'s huge, so share it with 2 or more people. Grilled pigeon, rabbit, pork, sausages … deer, duck, salt-cod, truffles, baked cheese … and the excellent choice of many greens and vegetables.

But take my word for it, Acquacheta is an excellent place for a hearty and delicious meal that doesn\'t break the budget.\r\n<h3>Wine tips at the Osteria</h3>\r\nThe owner offers very decent local red and white wines, but also encourage you to bring your own special bottle. You pay only 1.5 euros per person for corkage. They serve wine in simple short glasses, so don\'t look any fancy high-stem goblets here.

This is still the most pleasant restaurant with courteous professional service. But their high cooking standards have slipped a little in the past few years.\r\n<h3>Why we recommend La Grotta?</h3>\r\nGo there to enjoy the splendid Vino Nobile wines of the region with your lunch or dinner, they have a excellent wine list. Seasonal ingredients feature truffles, porcini mushrooms, and game. We like them for the delicate hand made pastas and the chef cooks a great rack of lamb for the main course. Delicious deserts, too. Some people think this is too posh and costly, but we find it very comfortable and perhaps just a little higher in prices then the norm. The quality of food at <em>La Grotta</em> is about the same as other restaurants but the wine list, splendid setting and great service still make this a good choice for a meal. I recommend the 6 course tasting menu at only 53 euros, with 2 people minimum order (was in 2017).\r\n<h3>About Ristorante La Grotta and how to find it.</h3>\r\nThe 2 vaulted dining rooms are spacious and tables are placed far apart to allow for easy movement and privacy.

Il Loggiato has a very tempting menu full of bruschettas, cheese plates and other light meals and snacks, but also soups and meat dishes at reasonable prices. During warm weather the best tables are outside shaded by big umbrellas, perfect for people watching, while in the winter the inside bar and dining areas are downstairs. There you\'ll find 2 simply furnished dining rooms with rustic brick walls and cozy atmosphere.\r\n<h3>How to find il Loggiato in Bagno Vignoni</h3>\r\nOpened just a few years ago, il Loggiato is located next to the huge open pool, and just below the bookstore drawing in a younger crowd.

(8205, 2, '2019-05-20 19:37:20', '2019-05-20 09:37:20', 'Villa de Michelangioli is an ancient country residence (sleeps 18), with incomparable views over the farming valley. The current owners of this large villa skillfully restored and transformed it into an exclusive private retreat. A 4 acre park surrounds the villa and features Italian style gardens, oaks and olive trees. Since the villa is set in the wide panoramic Chiana valley, just west of Cortona, you\'ll be an easy 20 minute drive from the highway A1 exit.\r\n<h3>Splendor at Villa Micheangioli Cortona</h3>\r\nVilla Michelangioli is a large manor house with 9 double bedrooms each with a private en-suite bath. The entire villa has air conditioning, with individual controls in all bedrooms. You can take the stairs or the elevator to the upper floor. For even larger groups, it\'s also possible to have extra beds. You arrive along a private road driving thru the gates, and there is parking for another half a dozen cars.\r\n<h3>Villa de Michelangioli in Middle of Tuscany</h3>\r\nSeems like this property sits in the perfect position for exploring all of Tuscany. You have Arezzo and Cortona just a short distance away. Florence, Siena, Perugia, Montepulciano and Assisi and other famed historical and artistic towns are easily reached by car.\r\n<h3>Pool and Garden at Villa de Michelangioli Cortona</h3>\r\nThis private farming estate covers almost 60 acres producing its own wine and olive oil. A lovely garden surrounds the villa and features a large swimming pool.  The pool-side terrace has sun loungers and umbrellas, covered tables and chairs. You would enjoy the unforgettable views over the fields of corn, sunflowers, grape vines and olive trees. There is conveniently also a barbecue to liven up your outdoor dining! The outside pool is open until end of September.\r\n<h3>Inside on the Ground Floor</h3>\r\nInside Villa de Michelangioli you are met by elegant furnishings, rich fabrics, and attention to detail. Comfortable seating is everywhere so you can spend time at the dining table, hang out at the sofa seating group by the living room fireside, and finally play games in the panoramic glassed-in veranda.  The center of the ground floor is the living room that joins the similarly magnificent dining room thru a wide archway. Meals are prepared at the fully-equipped professional stainless steel kitchen. You have a separate laundry, and also on this floor is a smaller lounge with a television.\r\n<h3>Second Pool Inside the Villa</h3>\r\nVilla de Michelangioli boasts an indoor swimming pool in addition to the outdoor one. This inside pool has a counter-current facility with a whirlpool and an accompanying sauna. In<span lang=\"EN-US\"> the cooler seasons or in rainy weather it\'s a rather fantastic opportunity to take a swim indoors where the pool water can be heated. Even more, you can jump into a whirlpool bath and enjoy the warm sauna.  Relaxing massages are also possible on request.</span>\r\n<h3>9 Bedrooms at Villa in Valdiciana</h3>\r\n1 bedroom is on the ground floor, 7 bedrooms are upstairs, plus 1 in the attic. All 9 bedrooms come with satellite television, safe, air-conditioning/heating, and a small fridge.  2 of these are suites with their own living rooms, fireplaces and hydro-massage Jacuzzi tubs. Another suite, 4 doubles, 1 attic double room and the double room on the ground floor, all have private bathrooms. The beds certainly have high quality mattresses and sumptuous bed linen. You will also enjoy the luxurious towels and hair dryers in the spacious bathrooms.\r\n<h3>History of Villa de Michelangioli Cortona</h3>\r\nVilla de Michelangioli was originally built in the 18th century as a “Leopoldine” farmhouse.

The current owners of this large villa skillfully restored and transformed it into an exclusive private retreat. A 4 acre park surrounds the villa and features Italian style gardens with oaks and olive trees. Since the villa is set in the wide panoramic Chiana Valley, just 20 minutes west of Cortona, you\'ll be an easy 20 minute drive also from the highway A1 exit.\r\n<h3>Splendor at Villa Micheangioli Cortona</h3>\r\nVilla Michelangioli is a large manor house with 9 double bedrooms, each complete with a private en-suite bathroom. The entire villa has air conditioning, with individual controls in all bedrooms. You can take the stairs or the elevator to the upper floor. For even larger groups, it\'s also possible to have extra beds. You arrive along a private road driving thru the gates, and there is parking for another half a dozen cars.\r\n<h3>Villa de Michelangioli in Middle of Tuscany</h3>\r\nSeems like this property sits in the perfect position for exploring all of Tuscany.

A lovely garden surrounds the villa and features a large swimming pool.  The pool-side terrace has sun loungers and umbrellas, covered tables and chairs.

Even when it does rain sometimes, sun usually breaks out and thus precipitation decreases as well. We welcome sunrise at 5.30 am and sunset well after 8.30 pm by the end of May.\n<h2>Time for the Great Outdoors</h2>\nThis is the time for enjoying the outdoors, with bicycle rides and walks with plenty of daylight hours.

Bring shorts, sun dresses, and short-sleeved shirts for the daytime, and long pants and long sleeved shirts, plus a jacket or a cotton sweater for cooler parts of days and evenings.

Snow is rare along the coast and inland valleys, but more frequent up in the mountains. When snow does fall, it usually melts quickly, except in the shady hills where it can cause slippery roads. Watch out for black ice especially in shaded curves.\n<h2>Dressing up for Winter</h2>\nIf you visit Tuscany now you should bring a windbreaker and wool sweater, or a warm coat, plus a hat and gloves. There isn’t much precipitation, only around 2 inches on average over in January. But a waterproof jacket could come in handy.

This can actually extend the pool season considerably, actually making September one of the best months to be in Tuscany. Fewer tourists and low rental prices help too. The pleasant evening temperatures are cooling the average highs down by few degrees to 27°C. But still, the warm days make it delightful to go to the beach and dip into the warm sea. Also, it\'s a great time to enjoy dining outdoors. The bicycle riders are back, as we are heading for the pleasant days at the end of the month. The last week is usually the start of Vendemmia, the grape harvest in Tuscany.\n<h2>Dressing for delightful September</h2>\nIn early September you might think it\'s still like August and wear something light and airy. But if you plan on visiting during the second part of September, you might prefer to wear thin attires in layers. Bring a light jacket or a cotton sweater for mornings and evenings, since it\'s cooling down when the sun is lower. Low-temperature average is 16°C at this time. If you are packing a suitcase for a trip now, put in thin warm-weather clothing, but don\'t forget to bring a few items for the cooler evenings.

It\'s also time for many harvest festivals, adored by city dwellers who would drive far to participate.\n<h2>Cool and glorious October</h2>\nBeginning of October is quite pleasant with temperatures around 20°C to 25°C, and cool evenings that dip well into the 50s F. When we reach mid-October, daytime temps are usually just under 20°C, but can be much lower. Most days we still have lunch outside on a warm terrace, but there are days when the moody weather drives us indoors. This cool period brings spectacular autumn foliage especially to the wine regions and our private gardens. Great time for walks in parks and forests with deciduous trees and shrubs showing their colors. Therefore, October is a fantastic time to visit Tuscany. Plan to pack clothing that can be layered. Do include a windbreaker and a waterproof jacket so you wont get wet when it rains. (Average Max Temperature: 21°C.

And flip-flops are the reason why people have needed to be rescued. Many people find it almost impossible to climb down a steep path wearing these.\r\n\r\nThe volunteers of Club Alpino Italiano, the hiking organization responsible for saving hikers, has been called for help. But this is a huge demand on their resources, so  Club Alpino Italiano has start issuing fines.

Tall grass and wild flowers wave at you along the sides of country roads. And gardens now are full of roses in stunning blooms. The climbing jasmine around doorways is covered in fragrant white flowers. Later in June is when lavender starts to steals the show.

(8291, 2, '2019-08-15 19:35:09', '2019-08-15 09:35:09', 'La Chiusa is a private villa in Lucca built starting in the 15th century. Having been in the family forever, the current owner has lovingly transformed it into a fully air-conditioned, 5-bedroom, luxury mansion. Location just over 1 mile (2 km) outside the walled city of Lucca brings all of Tuscany within your reach, with downtown Florence about 1 hour away by car or train, and half an hour to Pisa and the beaches of the Riviera.\r\n\r\nYou would enjoy the elegantly furnished living areas that open out to the terrace by the garden. Ancient stone walls surround the vast park-like grounds planted with persimmon fruit trees, roses, wisterias and grapevines. The sunny terrace is lined by terracotta planters with a profusion of geraniums. The outdoor <em>\'al fresco\'</em> seating group is a pleasant setting for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. Inside the private garden is a 26 foot diameter newly built, round, in-ground swimming pool complete with chaise lounges for your enjoyment in the summertime.\r\n\r\nLucca was made famous and wealthy centuries ago by the silk trade. The artist-owner continues this tradition with a private drapery studio with historical fabrics on the property. The owner keeps the gardener\'s cottage for herself and this separate house is not easily seen from the villa.\r\n\r\nThe high quality interiors of La Chiusa include many antiques and period pieces, very skilfully decorated to make the villa feel like a home, not like a museum. On the ground floor are the public rooms that open out to the garden terrace. The living room has a baby grand piano and numerous armchairs and comfortable sofas for a large gathering. The separate study has a sofa-group and fireplace; amenities include a large screen satellite TV, CD-stereo, and collection of travel books and magazines.\r\n\r\nFrom the living room you continue into a large dining room, an intimate breakfast room, and the fully equipped country-style kitchen. Here you also find a separate laundry room with washer and dryer. 1 double bedroom is also on this ground level; has a small bathroom with shower.\r\n\r\nThe grand staircase brings you up to the second level and into the most elegant sitting room, the <em>Salone</em>. From the Salone you enter the bedrooms. This second level has 4 double bedrooms, two of which are furnished in period style with frescoed walls and ceilings that are pictured here. Of the 3 bathrooms, one has a large double Jacuzzi whirlpool. All 3 bathrooms have showers.\r\n\r\nThe full-time care-taker has an apartment on the attic floor of the villa with private access. House-keeping is included in your rental and a professional chef and sommelier are available for special dinners.
