the villa in Italy

the villa in Italy

for those of you who have expressed interest in participating in this

I have a few questions for you, please.

What Would You Like To Do THE MOST?

there is no multiple choice answer for this,

Now for specifics, would you like to:

Drive the Beautiful Amalfi Coast with our Own Driver

Have dinner in a private home, as if we were Italian

Enjoy time at the Villa with the other ladies,

do some of our own cooking, and enjoying the essence of being on the Mediterranean

NOW, for some other details:

there is no dryer in the houses, a washer but no dryer (the air drys very fast)

towels are in short supply and we may have to reuse for 2 days,

I'm trying to make certain we have enough linens for our American needs

there will be NO provisions in the kitchen, except maybe salt & pepper, etc.

so we will have to shop or ask the housekeeper to shop for us.

having breakfast outdoors, overlooking the sea is enchanting & no one wants to miss this

wine glasses, there will be NO fine wine glasses on premises, do you want to pack your own

look up the temperature during the time we're going and pack accordingly.

you will not need more than 2 outfits in a day, ever.

there are pharmacies, grocers, vino shops, mini-marts, fresh fruits & veggies

however, if you are IN LOVE with a special brand of tissues or toilet paper, or bath soap

by all means bring your own supply.

life on the coastline is casual, but beautiful casual, not college-kid's casual...

I know you know.

do not overpack, there are shops everywhere with local merchandise, and you will find

every size of shoes and apparel, and this is a fun thing to do.

Sorrento has one of the most fabulous linen shops I've ever seen.

ITALIAN MADE, ITALIAN FABRICS.

the MAIN thing is to enjoy the experience of

just "being there."

the most relaxing, beautiful environment I've even seen.

everywhere you look you see something beautiful,

something amazing

something that takes your breath away

& then there are the PEOPLE !!!

warm, wonderful and loud.
