ITALY, ITALIAN CULTURE AND YOU!


SO YOU'D LIKE TO VISIT PARTS OF ITALY RICH IN CULTURE BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE WHERE
TO START?


NO PROBLEM - WE CAN HELP!

It's not easy trying to plan a holiday to a destination you've never been to
before. Even if you've visited Italy previously, there are always new places to
find that you're not aware of. But time is precious, and finding those places
isn't always easy.

Which is where we can help.

It's written by us - Cath and Mike - an English couple who live and work in
Italy, and have done for nearly 15 years. We know the country and its people
well - and we know how to find tiny, stunning, traditional, out of the way
villages that are "off the beaten track".

How do we know? Because we live in one of them!




MAYBE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT...

 * Which of the well-known sights is worth seeing - and when's best to visit
   them.  
 * Where to go that won't be crowded with tourists.  
 * How to find places to stay that allow you to meet Italian people in their own
   local communities.
 * Places to eat that locals in Italy like to keep a well-guarded secret.  
 * Shops where you can find authentic, locally produced goods.  
 * How to get around using local transport.  


CONGRATULATIONS - YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!


SO - YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO SEE THIS...

Rome's Colosseum: one of Italy's iconic monuments

- but you're not sure when's the best time to go, or whether a guided tour is
really necessary, or whether there are parts that other tourists may not know
about.

 Want to know more? Click on this link!

Or maybe you'd like to know which part of Rome to look to find a market like
this...

A market in central Rome - but where can you find it?

And you know that when you're visiting Venice you'll be seeing beautiful
'palazzos' on the edge of canals like this...

Venice's Grand Canal.

 ...but do you know where you would go to find a quiet little village perched on
a cliff with water as clear as this?

The stunning Gargano peninsula - one of our favourite places to visit.

...and where can you travel to find pretty mediaeval villages perched on
hilltops like this? (No, it's not Tuscany!).

Pretty mediaeval villages dot the rolling hills of Le Marche - our home region.

Whether it's Rome, Venice, Florence, or the less well known rural areas of Le
Marche and Puglia you want to know about - you've come to the right place.

Because what we want the most is to use our knowledge of these stunning places,
and their culture, to help you plan your perfect trip.

AND IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A PART OF ITALY HOME WITH YOU - OR IF YOU CAN'T VISIT
BUT LOVE THE COUNTRY AND WANT TO ADD BITS OF ITS CULTURE INTO YOUR LIFE - WELL,
WE WILL HELP YOU DO THAT, TOO.


WHO ARE WE, TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ITALY AND ITALIAN CULTURE?

This is us - Cath and Mike Andrews, on the day we were married - in Rome!  We
chose to have our pictures taken by the Trevi Fountain.



We've lived and worked in Italy now for ten years.  Find out more about us here.

We're lucky, because we're living our Italian dream. Through this website we
would like to share our passion for, and knowledge of, this amazing country with
you. 


WE WILL HELP FIND YOUR ITALIAN DREAM.

So, come on in. Pour yourself a nice glass of cold 'vino bianco' - white wine -
or a cup of cappuccino, or a hot black 'espresso'. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. 




"PIACERE" - WE'RE PLEASED TO MEET YOU!
