Holidaying in Italy has never been easier

11th May 2007 Print
Italy Interhome, the leading specialist for holiday rentals in Europe, boasts an unrivalled selection of self-catering properties in Italy. Holiday-homes range from countryside castles and rustic farm-houses to coastal villas and chic apartments in the country’s most glamorous cities! Whether it’s Florence, Rome, Tuscany or Umbria with over 1,000 properties to choose from, for a holiday home in Italy, it has to be Interhome.

For a city break in unforgettable Florence, why not choose from seven self-contained apartments within the historic “Pitti” residence right in the heart of the city. The 14th century palazzo building which houses the seven flats is located in the Oltrarno district of the old city centre which is lined with craftsmen’s workshops and bars. The Piazza Pitti, the Boboli Gardens, the Ponte Vecchio and Santo Spirito are close by. Each of the apartments sleep between four and six people and have been recently renovated with stylish furnishings and equipped with every modern convenience.

Prices start from £131.50 per person, per week, based on four sharing (or £526.00 per week, per property). Book through Interhome.co.uk ref: i5270/925a. Many of Interhome’s properties, in particular the city apartments, can also be hired on a short-term, two or three-day basis, which makes a city-break with Interhome more affordable than a hotel stay.

Beach fans also have a wide choice of accommodation options in Italy with Interhome. The company’s vast collection of Italian coastal properties includes “Villa Rita”, a complex of four affordable apartments housing between two and seven people each. “Villa Rita” is situated on a private road in Marina Del Cantone, five kilometres from Massa Lubrense on the Amalfi coast, and has direct access via 100 steps to a private beach. Each apartment has its own terrace with outdoor furniture, outside shower and a Jacuzzi where you can relax and enjoy the sea views! Water sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the private boat hire located on the beach.

Prices start from £132.00 per person, per week, based on two sharing (or £264.00 per week, per property). Book through Interhome.co.uk ref: I6043/835D.

To get away from it all completely and immerse yourself in the laid back Italian way of life, why not hire one of Interhome’s charming farm houses in the hills? “Appartamento Rocco” is a fine example of the cosy and secluded farm house accommodation available from Interhome, throughout the country.

“Appartamento Rocco” is a collection of small apartments accommodating up to four people each and nestled amid the hills of Umbria. Surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and fruit trees, guests will experience a real flavour of Italy here and can even arrange to take a course in authentic Umbrian cooking during their stay. Prices start from £68.50 per person, per week, based on four sharing (or £274.00 per week, per property). Book through Interhome.co.uk ref: I5515/905A.

For a truly epic getaway with a large family or a big group of friends “Castello La Rocca” in Firenzuola, provides luxurious accommodation and magnificent surroundings. Situated in one of the most delightful areas of Mugello , “Castello La Rocca” is reached via the old road that leads from Tuscany to Emilia Romagna. The historic 11–bedroom castle has its own Jacuzzi, private swimming pool and gardens.

There is also a golf course, horse riding stables and tennis courts nearby for those looking for an action-packed break. Castello La Rocca sleeps up to 16 people and there is a second, beautifully furnished property on the grounds called “Villa di Castello” which can sleep an additional 16 people if you have a particularly large group. Prices for both properties start from £158.00 per person, per week, based on 16 sharing (or £2,529.00 per week, per property). Book through Interhome.co.uk ref: I5293/820 and I5293/821.
