A Place in the Sun


Near Florence, Italy
A friend of mine has told me about a villa run by friends of hers about half an hour out of Florence. I should imagine you would need to rent a car although there is a train station that takes you to Florence not that far away. It's in a beautiful location on a hillside amongst the vineyards...

Patara, Turkey
Patara View Point Hotel, not far from Kalkan. This is definitely more affordable for people with a smaller budget. £300 a week for bed and breakfast. It's a great place. Near lots of sites, markets and the sea. I've been there twice with the boys and loved it. Here is the website link www.pataraviewpoint.com

Does anyone know of a similar small family run hotel in Italy? I thought we'd have a change this summer...
