 Location:
The
weather in Milan for a class at Adicolor in Traditional Lime
Paint, and shopping at Designer Malls, is comfortably
warm in mid October, as the afternoon temperature averages around
65 degrees. Traveling by train to the Tuscan Village of Lucca and touring historical villa's for a
relaxing week of visual insight will allow us an in
depth Italian experience.
Airports:
To
get to Tuscany, we need to fly into Milan, then travel to Lucca, and
a shuttle bus for a 30 minute drive through the
hills to Villa La Cappella. Day trips are planned visiting
historical Villas around this Tuscany area. Then enjoy
the train again, and return through Rome and back to the
US. Continental offers
that route from Houston daily at a rate of about $900.00.
Remember to get your passport in order.
Accommodations:
La
Villa Cappella, an old Monastery built in the 1600's and
recently renovated is positioned with a panoramic view of the old Roman "Via Francigena"
passage from France and Spain to Rome. The villa
has three floors, and is a perfect size for our group of 15. A large panoramic pool is set on a lower terrace
with views of terraced gardens and traditional Tuscany
atmosphere. We will be touring 5 Tuscany Villa's during
our week there.
