ITALY -

We now faced a 1500kms drive to Tuscany so we left our villa in Spain a day early and drove back to the south of France and spent a night in Arles, Provence. Then we drove via Nice and Monte Carlo into Italy, through Genoa to Tuscany. Our villa this time (another last minute internet booking) was near the town of Volterra. It was a new villa again 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus our own pool. The villa was on a farm and was lovely and quiet with a wonderful outlook over the olive groves and grapevines to the famous undulating and picturesque Tuscan countryside. This villa was $660 NZ for a week.
