The fantastic Stupinigi Hunting Palace can be found in Northern Italy, just southwest of Turin. It was originally built by order of Victor Amadeus II of Savoy as a hunting lodge. Its design and decorations were actually those of famous architect Filippo Juvarra, who turned it into a genuine representation of a royal palace.

Here we are again with yet another Villa Spotlight just for you!

This time we're heading to the Piedmont area, to the western side of Lake Maggiore where Villa Adriana is situated.

This Villa was designed by a famous architect in the 1960s and it has recently been restored and refurbished in a modern style which has left the interior spacious and bright with a nice mix of colours that are pleasing to the eye.

And we're back yet again with another Villa spotlight, this time we're taking a trip to Lake Orta in northern Italy.

Here at Lake Orta you can do many different fun holiday activities such as Waterparks, Themeparks, Cycling, Horse Riding, Skiing, Golf, and so much more!
The Villa that we have chosen for today is Villa Orta.

This is a relatively large Villa that sleeps up to 14 people in 7 bedrooms, and is perfect for family holidays or get togethers.

It's Carnevale time in Italy!  Carnevale has many names and is celebrated all over the world, but Italy is home to some of the most famous celebrations including the month long festivities in Viareggio.  In Viareggio there are magnificent floats that can be viewed during several parades held throughout the month leading up to Mardis Gras. There are many villas and apartments for rent in Viareggio during Carnevale.

Ivrea, located in Piedmont, will give you a reason to duck during Carnevale: the great citrus war!
