Orlando has long since been a hotspot for international travellers seeking a fun time with their family. Many of these travellers prefer home from home accommodation in privately rented villas and there are many communities close to the attractions for them to stay. Tuscan Hills is a brand new community located in Davenport, Orlando. It comprises brand new, beautiful private pool homes situated on the US27, just a ten minute drive from the Walt Disney World.

The resort houses short-term rental homes, many of which are owned by Britons so there is a good Uk community feel to the resort. These luxury Florida villas were constructed by renown builder Great American Homes to a very higher than average specification putting it near the top for rental choice, especially since many owners are realistic with their vacation rental rates.

In early 2007, Tuscan Hills will also be able to boast a clubhouse with restaurant, free internet access, a fitness room, lounge and children`s indoor play area. Outside facilities will include a large covered lanai, a sand volleyball court, tot lot, palm garden and tennis court. Within a two-minute drive you will find supermarkets, shops and restaurants. A large Walmart store is also no more than five minutes away. Orlandos main highway artery, the I4, provides easy access to Florida’s main attractions, shopping malls and beaches, and can be reached in 10 minutes.

If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World then this community is well worth checking out.

To bring a piece of Sundance to Cortona: that seems to have been the aim of Robert Redford, who in August visited the town in the province of Arezzo in order to take part, with a poem recital, at the Tuscan Sun Festival. Redford, who as an adolescent studied in Tuscany, in Florence, appeared fascinated by the beauty and by the atmosphere of the places he visited: “It`s incredible how the countryside here makes me come up with ideas, – he said. – the land round here is genuine, without compromise, and genuineness is the basis of the cinema that drives my festival”. The actor then indicated a probable future location for setting up a section of Sundance: the Medici Castle at Girifalco, which was built in the 1500s by the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo I.

Recently restored, it is now an exhibition hall in the summer months, and can be visited from April to September. From the top of the tower you can take in a breathtaking view of Cortona and of all the valley of Valdichiana.

The Tuscan Sun Festival was founded and is directed by Barrett Wissman, the head of ImgArtist, a well-known and powerful agency on the international classical scene, bringing for the last 6 years glamour and stars (from Baryshnikov to Sofia Loren) to this corner of Tuscany, with its view over Lake Trasimeno. Given the encouraging response, Wissman then also “exported” the festival to Napa Valley (at its third edition this year) and to Singapore (second edition).

The beautiful town of Cortona – immortalized in the film “Under the Tuscan Sun” – Lake Trasimeno and the wonderful countryside round here (Orvieto, Monte Sansavino) offer the possibility of a relaxing stay, in a unique atmosphere, full of beauty.

Tuscany is a perfect combination of beautiful scenery, art treasures, warmth and hospitality, and superb food and wine. We have some enchanting villas in Tuscany to enable you to enjoy this extraordinary area to the full. The Tuscan villas in our collection of Tuscan villa rentals, many of which are luxury villas, are in the most beautiful positions to enable you to experience this unique place.

Lying in a broad arch off Tuscany`s coast in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Tuscan Archipelago is Europe`s largest protected marine park. The archipelago encompasses seven main islands and several smaller islets stretching from Gorgona in the north (almost on the same latitude as Florence) to Giannutri in the south vith Capraia, Elba, Pianosa, Montecristo, and Giglio in betweeen.

Most of the islands are accessible to tourists, with the exceptions of Montecristo, which is open only to marine research scientists, and Gorgona, home only to a large prison. By far the largest and best known is Elba, which is linked to Piombino on the mainland by regular hydrofoil and ferry services. Famous as the place where Napoleon was briefly exiled before his final defeat at Waterloo, it has lovely beaches, campsites shaded by pines and, last but not least, a flavorful and tasty traditional fare.

The food of the Tuscan Archipelago is characterized by the simplicity of the ingredients and the wide variety of recipes, due to the isolation of the various communities over the centuries. Each island has incorporated different influences in its typical cuisine. This is particularly evident in the larger islands such as Elba, where traditional cooking offers differences and variations from one area to the next. In Portoferraio there is the Savoy cabbage, in Capoliveri the potato, egg and onion soup, In Marciana the stuffed sardines and in Rio Marina the `guruglione (a spanish influenced vegetable soup).

Fish is certainly the king of cooking in the Tuscan Archipelago: from boiled octopus to `zerri`, a delicious variety of local fish served fried, roasted, marinated, in soups or in stews. The archipelago`s tastiest seafood recipes include spaghetti with spider crab or fresh tuna sauce, anchovies with pesto, stuffed squid, squid with chard and the ubiquitous `cacciucco` (a variation on the famous fish soup from Livorno).

Elba cuisine offers some great soups in the Tuscan tradition. The most popular recipes are made with `cavolo nero` and beans or with fresh chard and egg. This was traditionally prepared by the island`s farmers for the `Lombards`, a generic term used for the seasonal labourers. As well as squid, Capraia is known for its sammule (wild garlic) and wild asparagus fritters. Specialties from the island of Giglio include `coniglio alla cacciatora` (wild rabbit cooked in a spicy tomato sauce), `baccalà in agrodolce` (salt cod in a sweet and sour sauce) and `tonnina salata` (fresh tuna immersed in salted water and then placed in brine).

All of the tasty dishes mentioned above are almost always accompanied by some local wine. Despite the decrease of the vineyard area over the last years, Elban grapes manage to produce an array of fine wines, which for some years now have been given the D.O.C. certification label (the Italian equivalent of the French A.O.C.). Among the most renowned are Elba Bianco (white), Elba Rosso (red), Rosato (rosè), Moscato and Aleatico, both of which are sweet dessert wines.

Speaking of dessert wines, it is only natural to mention a popular Elba Island treat called `Schiaccia Briaca` (literally `drunk cake`, where the cake is drunk with Aleatico). Schiaccia Briaca is made with kneading flour, wine, sultanas and dried nuts. Except from the wine, many of the same ingredients can be found also in the `panficato`, coming from Giglio Island.

Being a popular travel destination, the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago are fille with restaurants and other eateries, even though most of the establishments are open from late spring to early autumn only. Many of the archipelago`s restaurants offer a variety of traditional dishes and the quality is generally good. Before entering a place, however, it is always a good idea to take a look at the price list displayed outside of the premise. Smaller islands tend to be more expensive than mainland Italy and the Tuscan Archipekago makes no exception to this rule.

If you are on a tight budget, attending one of the many food festivals held throughout the year is an excellent way to taste some of the local specialties spending only a few euros. Among the several celebrations taking place periodically, the traditional `Squid Festival` held on November in Capraia deserves a special mention. The festival begins with a squid fishing competition and ends the next day with all the fished squids cooked in various ways and eaten on the spot.

There’s something very special about Tuscany. Not only does the region abound with incredible history, delicious local produce and no less than six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but it also exudes a very special charm. A sort of intangible elixir – a sense of well-being. One deep breath of Tuscan air and it feels like you’ve arrived home. Holiday rentals here are the real deal.

That feeling pervades in the historical cities themselves – Florence, Siena and Pisa. It’s difficult not to get caught up in the architecture of the region – from the austerity of the Duomo di Siena with its chastising papal gargoyles, to the Gothic lines of Florence’s central edifices. It’s living history – find holiday rentals in the depths of the cities and you will get a true taste.

For the real magic to work though, you need to leave the bustling centres for the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. It’s here that you’ll find the pearls of the region such as San Gimignano and the Val D’orcia. It’s here that you’ll stumble across holiday rentals in secluded olive groves and abandoned monasteries. It’s here that you’ll forget about the real world.

And it’s not that difficult to discover this little bit of Eden for yourself. There are many holiday rentals available to hire in the region – whether you want a hilltop olive farm with stunning views across Tuscan countryside or a romantic stone cottage backing onto fields of sunflowers – you can find your perfect holiday rentals hideaway. Once you’ve found it though, you just might not want to come back…

Tuscan theme

Tuscan décor provides a place to relax and can use it as a place for entertainment. It is a way to decorate the place through plants or fruits or something which make feel green. For a Tuscan décor the main point to be considered is to provide green everywhere. One can use the runaway potato vine for covering the wall. This potato originally is planted in a couple of tubs and when it spreads out, the roots are cut and the vine is snipped, the potato plants fall away. This makes the wall ready for a water blast and then it is painted with an acrylic Murawash in stone.

The graceful and sophisticated Tuscan home decor originates in Tuscany – one of the most beautiful and historical regions on earth. This region is also the birthplace of the renaissance and was home to Leonardo DaVinci, Michaelangelo, and Dante. Some of the most iconic buildings in all of Europe are situated here, including the leaning tower of Pisa and the Duomo Cathedral. No wonder Tuscan home decor is so popular throughout the world evoking dreams of a beautiful place and bringing back memories of a wonderful vacation.

The basic colors of Tuscan home decor are centered on earth tones. The land in Tuscany is fertile and rich brown, planted with olive trees, crops and evergreens. These colors of brown, olive, and dark green comprise the basics. Accent colors include brick red and beige mottled like old stucco. Tuscan style paintings and accessories are often simple landscapes depicting this natural beauty.

Beginning in the fourteenth century, European architecture began to change. Italian architect-artists like Giotto and Brunelleschi learned how to make buildings taller, covered them with wide domes, and supported them with the most slender columns. They loved symmetry, heavy ornament, scrolling ironwork, and floor mosaics. These principles are where Tuscan home decor takes its inspiration from.

Since Roman times Tuscany has been a place for travel and trade; this is how Tuscan designers got influenced by foreign styles from Egypt to India. In that vein, Tuscan home decor often features chairs or stools on an X-shaped base, or planters on pedestals just like those from ancient Greece.

Furniture in Tuscan home decor often includes many architectural elements. Chair and table legs are carved like columns. Table stretchers and chair backs are often carved exactly like the arches on renaissance buildings. The style, though geometric, is full of movement and ornamentation.

Pieces of Tuscan home decor are often covered with mosaics: little pictures made of colored tiles or pebbles cemented into a tabletop or floor. These mosaics remind of Tuscan cathedrals, which themselves took inspiration from Roman cathedral mosaics.

Textures of famous Tuscan architecture are very much used in Tuscan home decor. Solid marble and brown stone used in architecture can be used for wall colors. If the budget allows, real marble accessories like counter tops might be used. Stacked stone in the yard or a rustic stone fireplace make the decor feel even more authentic.
