Mary's Italian Resources

These are family favorites that we recommend.


Poggio Moretto: Find yourself in the friendly, comfortable world of the Agriturismo Poggio Moretto, an ancient farm with all the conveniences of modern accommodation, besides very reasonable prices. Located in the Maremma near the medieval hill town of Manciano in southern Tuscany, you can relax or explore the area and be the guests of the friendly, helpful Materazzi family. You will be near the sea, forests, other hill towns like Pitigliano, Etruscan ruins and the relaxing hot springs of Saturnia. The Signora's meals will memorable if you choose to eat at the farm. I did not want to leave...
Reading Retreats in Rural Italy: Are you looking for a place where cell phones, stereos, video cameras and beeping alarm clocks are not welcome? But muscial instruments, cameras, wind up clocks that tick and ring, art supplies and books are welcome? Throughout the year, small groups of people from around the world gather here for one-week reading sojourns. For information, please mail Mary.
The Association Turisti per Casa is an association that offers a network of Bed & Breakfast homes where guests are welcome in a friendly and comfortable environment. This new initiative in Bologna and Emilia Romagna promises hospitality to travelers, and the possibility to enjoy a cultural exchange with locals who cherish their traditions and hope to share its riches. For general information for all locations in English, it is best to email requests to Information for Turisti per Casa.
