​Your "Villa Away from Home"

Suzanne Stavinoha has been coordinating Villa and Farmhouse vacations in Tuscany since 1997. During that time, she has become familiar with not only the main attractions throughout the area, but also the “nooks and crannies” where most tourists don’t go. She's happy to provide tips and tricks for great airfare and routes from the U.S. to Italy, as well as details about money, packing, weather and other logistics.
