Italy villas and apartments with pool in walking distance to town

From One Stop Italy.  Speak to us on +44 (0) 1603 812212. Book here.

One of the most frequent requests we receive is for suggestions of countryside villas and apartments with swimming pool near enough to walk to a small town or village. In some cases clients do not want to hire a car at all,  so it is doubly important that they have food shops and restaurants very close by.

We have arranged many successful holidays at villas and apartments which do indeed offer the best of both worlds – in a rural location yet very near to facilities.

If you are looking for a villa with private pool within walking distance of a town or village, please check out our webpage :

Long live the long Italian lunch break!

Italian workers have rejected a suggestion by cabinet minister Gianfranco Rotondi that they should skip the traditional full sit-down Italian lunch to  protect both their waistlines and the Italian economy.

I’ve always wondered why the 2 hour siesta period is so strictly observed in all the Italian companies I know, in both summer and winter, when it means that workers get home so late each evening.

But I must agree with the nutritionist who commented that if Italians did not have a full lunch they would probably keel over in the afternoon, as they are notorious for their skimpy – or non-existent – breakfast. Often it’s just a double espresso standing in a bar/cafe, on which they will keep going until 1pm.
