Accommodations in Italy

I listened to a woman asking about accommodations in Italy for a larger group of people. I have a brochure of the "Nestore estate" in Tuscany which consists of four large apartments which can each accommodate two to six persons with bathroom, kitchen TV and telephone. In the courtyard is a wood-fired oven for the use of the residents.

The estate is owned by Dr. Fabrio Rossi and was given to the Rossi family by Pope Pius VI in 1781. The Renaissance artists Michelangelo, Piero della Francesca, Pinturicchio, Raphael and Bramante were born within 30 miles of this location. Leisure opportunities include walking along rivers and through woods, fishing, cycling, swimming, possibly horseback riding and canoeing. Also, at certain times courses in sculpturing and ceramics are given by a guest artist.
