Casa Dei Lentischi is a perfect gem of a villa for experiencing the untamed beauty of Sardinia. Located in the South-Western part of the island, 1.5km from Porto Pino, a seaside area named for the wide surrounding pine forest and famous for its beautiful 4km long bay, sandy beaches, majestic white dunes, and rich, sparkling blue waters. Of the various beaches that you can choose between in the area, some are totally wild and others have amenities, bars, and boat rentals – meaning that there is a perfect option for everyone, no matter what kind of day at the beach you prefer! Plus, pink flamingos descend on the ponds in the area during migration season, adding even more colour to this impossibly picturesque part of the world and the surrounding area is ideal for those who want to hike and explore. So, if you want to dive right into this magical island in Italy on vacation in Sardinia, Casa Dei Lentischi is a dreamy base that sleeps up to ten guests in five bedrooms, with five bathrooms.

As temperatures continue to hit record highs all around the world and summers continue to become hotter and hotter, those who love a sun holiday but want to stay safe and comfortable throughout their trip should take precautions. If you book one of our villas in Italy, one of our vacation rentals in France, one of our holiday rentals in Spain, or one of our villas in Croatia for a summer break and you encounter the heat, there are some things that you can do to prevent yourself from totally melting:

Those who have always wanted to explore the historic charms of the Birthplace of the Renaissance but who have a love of modern luxury when it comes to accommodation will find that Deservi Luxury Apt. Vasari is a perfect base for diving into the past while enjoying the comfort and convenience of the present day. Sleeping up to four guests in total in one bedroom with one bathroom, the unit boasts light-filled, elegant, modern interiors, WIFI and air-conditioning throughout (very important for those who might be considering booking a vacation in Florence during the summer months!), and a dream location. 

When temperatures rise while on vacation in the summer months, there are plenty of ways to cool off. Firstly, choosing the right rental is a great place to start. For example, you can rent one of our villas in Italy with a pool so that you can take a dip whenever you want. Or you can choose one of our villas in Italy with air-conditioning so you can always escape to cool air indoors. Or you could decide on a location like one of our villas on the Amalfi Coast, our villas in the Cinque Terre, or our villas on the Tuscan Coast to have both the sea breezes and waters to help you stay cool. 

Dreaming of a vacation rental in Florence and time spent exploring the endless incredible cultural attractions of the city? Considering a visit to the Uffizi Gallery? Well, then these are the questions that you are going to need answered to plan a perfect visit…

What Are The Average Wait Times For The Uffizi Gallery?

While the option to get skip-the-queue or fast-passes exists, the average wait time for the Uffizi Gallery is already pretty short nowadays due to online ticket booking and many fast-pass tickets will not actually get you through the queue for security checks any faster. So, don’t worry, if you have booked a villa in Florence and want to see the Uffizi during your time in the city, you won’t have to waste all day lining up for this most famous and unmissable tourist attraction! You simply need to book your ticket online for a certain time slot and show up around fifteen minutes prior to your official entry time. Most people can expect to wait five to twenty minutes in the queue, allowing visitors to pass through security. As you no longer have to collect pre-booked tickets physically at the box office, there is also one less thing to queue for.
