I skimmed across your website by accident but was happy that I stopped by. My wife and some others have recently started a significant amount of web research for apartments in Italy and what to rent and what not. By the way, thanks for the expertise - happy I found it by mistake and will share. Using research I begun adding info about Tuscany apartments for my blog. Hello.
