I like to stay in self-catering vacation rentals when I travel in Italy or elsewhere in Europe. In addition to saving money, self-catering is a fun way to experience the local surroundings beyond the usual tourist perspective. Read more about why self-catering is a good way to spend your vacation in Italofile's article, Five Reasons to Rent a Villa in Italy.
Self-catering Properties I've stayed in recently:
- Le Torri Holiday Apartments in Tuscany near Florence.
- Farnesi Apartment in Rome off Piazza Farnese, near Campo dei Fiori.
- TorreBarolo, a 17th century tower in Langhe wine region of Piemonte.
- Masseria li Menuli, on our list of Masseria Lodging in Puglia, the heel of the boot.
