Christmas is Coming…

Posted on by

Gather your family or a group of like-minded friends and consider adding “Trip to Northern Italy” to your Christmas list! Focus on a certain theme – like golf, hiking or walking, cooking, dining, wine-tasting, painting, photography, art & culture, cycling, shopping – or arrange for a custom trip that includes a bit of several different activities. Day trips to famous wine-growing regions (fabulous lunch included) or maybe a 2-hour train ride into the Swiss Alps for a stunning panoramic view and a lovely lunch? Or maybe to the elegant villas of Lake Como?

Ready for Guests

Posted on by

September and October have been busy months; we’ve gotten our Homeaway site established, set up a Facebook Page, spiffed up the website and received our first official guests.

Two groups of friends from Nashville, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Colorado Springs, Chattanooga and Kansas reported having a wonderful time not only in and around the villa itself but also visiting Lake Como (including Villa d’Este), Piani d’Erna, Milan, Lugano and Montevecchio. They tried some of the local restaurants and had good reports there, too. Each couple combined their visits to Poggio Verde with visits to other lovely spots like Florence, Venice, Cinque Terre, Bolzano, Tuscany, Rome, London and Paris. Planes, trains and automobiles!

These photos were taken at Poggio Verde and Montevecchia, the wonderful tiny community with the church up on a ridge about 15 minutes from Poggio Verde:
