Isnt t lovely that at my ripe old age we still embrace travel,its a passion that never dies and long may it continue. What does change,hardly for the better,are the buying habits and the sceptisim that every social media post is a scam of some description. What a sad world we live in.

My passion these days is drawing new and old clients into a network of trust that only comes from superior product knowledge and added value which comes in many ways, clearly a very popular one is saving clients money but also pushing the boundaries to get upgrades,etc through great contacts.

We like talking to discerning clients as we have a great service you will be interested in. We know luxury back to front and the people who can influence a sale.

Lets talk luxury and lets start saving you money.

Villa La Massa ***** Deluxe
Florence Countryside

Located on the banks of the Arno, Villa La Massa provides the ideal balance for those looking to combine culture and relaxation, set within 25 acres of peaceful gardens and olive groves - yet only 15 minutes away from Florence (a complimentary shuttle service operates to the Ponte Vecchio).

As Florence flourished during the 14th century, wealthy families commissioned the building of impressive countryside residences. Villa La Massa, with its noble architecture and idyllic location, is an impressive example. This former palazzo had a succession of illustrious residents before the villa was converted into a hotel in 1953, since when it has hosted guests from Gregory Peck, Winston Churchill and Elizabeth Taylor to David Bowie, who was married here in 1992.

The property now offers 54 bedrooms, spread across the main house and several other villas, that are decorated in traditional Florentine style. The excellent restaurant, 'Il Verrocchio', offers a delicious breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Arno and is the perfect setting for a candle-lit al fresco dinner. There is also a tennis court, the Arno SPA and bicycles for guests to explore the surroundings.
We are delighted to be able to offer exceptional value for money at one of our favourite Italian hotels this summer, and I am sure that you deserve a top holiday.

3 nights for the price of 2 in July and August (excl. 16-19 Aug)

Price from £1,578 per person, saving £450

MEMPHIS & ITS MUSICAL LEGACY
Hailed as the home of blues, soul and rock 'n' roll, Memphis welcomes music aficionados from around the globe, who come to walk in the footsteps of Elvis Presley and see the haunts of blues legends Muddy Waters, B.B. King and countless others.

A great place to start is Graceland, Elvis Presley's beloved mansion, with its fascinating museums displaying the King's classic cars, flashy stagewear, private jets and gold albums. You can follow this up with a tour of Sun Studio in town, where Elvis recorded his first hit, That's All Right Mama, in 1954. You can also listen to classic recording sessions from the likes of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison among others.

To get an overview of the city's musical history, head to the Rock 'n' Soul Museum or the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, a fun, fascinating and educational museum that features never-before-seen memorabilia, rare video performances and archive interviews with some of the greatest musicians of all time, from ZZ Top and Otis Redding to Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner.

For live entertainment, neon-lit Beale Street throbs with blues and rock 'n' roll bands every afternoon and all night long, with B.B. King's Blues Club and Rum Boogie Café just a couple of the great options available.

With so much to see and do, Memphis makes for a wonderful city break, as outlined in our five-night trip below. Plus of course it's an essential stop on any wider tour of the South, like our 13-day self-drive holiday, Rhythm of the Deep South.

"Visiting Graceland was an absolute highlight of my trip to Memphis. It felt almost surreal to stand in the house where Elvis lived and played for the last 20 years of his life. It's astonishing how much has been kept and preserved, from his jeweled jumpsuits and classic cars to his customised private plane, the Lisa Marie."

Let us take you there at the best price available.Tel.01905 797771
