Exclusive Places to Visit, Things to do and Experiences in Italy, Greece, Spain and Croatia

You have arrived in Italy after a long journey. The Tuscan hills are holding you in their arms, the chirping of the sparrows cheers your last few kilometres and the light tramontana wind moves the olive branches pointing the road, everything is enlightened by an orange sunset reflecting on the windscreen of your car. You are happy, you can't wait to get to the villa you have rented and take off your shoes, walk on the soft lawn to stretch your legs. The bravest will even dive into the pool. It's all beautiful, but you realise you haven't thought about dinner. This is where we come in, or rather, the libidinous Schiacciata Toscana. Ciaccia, schiacciata, stiacciata, schiaccia, in short, the typical Tuscan focaccia is a product of peasant cuisine and is known and appreciated throughout Italy. The characteristics that must not be missing are 1. extreme crunchiness 2. large air bubbles 3. signs of hand pinching 4. an abundant brush with extra virgin olive oil after cooking. Schiacciata (because that's what you'll have to call it when you order it) is one of the oldest Italian street food recipes and one of the most popular dishes among Tuscans. Now you may be wondering how to stuff this food of the gods? Schiacciata can be eaten in both savoury and sweet versions (no, we're not crazy, you'll see why). The traditional stuffing of schiaccia is cold cuts and cheeses, and if you're feeling healthy or preparing for the swimming season, you can also add some vegetables. We recommend the combination of prosciutto crudo, Tuscan pecorino cheese and truffle cream, or Tuscan porchetta, parmesan cheese and roast potatoes, or if you're feeling more classic: schiacciata with mortadella. But now let's move on to the sweet version: schiacciata with Nutella. This is the snack that every Italian child wants to find on his or her return home and that every adult secretly eats in the evening after dinner. The savouriness of the salt crystals on the surface contrasting with the sweetness of the nutella helps to create what can be described as 'food porn'. In addition, it is as if the oil in the schiacciata and the fats in the creamy spread annihilate each other, creating a black hole in the stomach of those who eat it: one schiacciata alone will not satisfy your craving, you will need at least three! (we would like to point out that we are not responsible for the addiction that this food may create). But where can you eat all this? If you want to feel like a true Italian, our advice is to go and buy the schiacciata in any bakery and fill it to your liking. If, on the other hand, you prefer to leave it to an expert hand, our recommendations are: All'antico vinaio, La prosciutteria, I fratellini, Da Giotto, Cioccolateria Ballerini, Forno Becagli. Would you like to try your hand at preparing this work of art? Book a cooking class in one of our villas. Ps. Don't forget to accompany your meal with a good glass of wine, hydration is important. © Rebecca Taizzani

We all desire a day off from our routine, but when we have this opportunity we never know what to do. We spend most of our time looking for a fun, interesting and stimulating activity, but we don't always succeed. Getting a group or even just a couple to agree can be really difficult: some people want to relax in the sun, others go for a walk and others visit a place of interest.So how can you please everyone? Simple, leave it to us!Today we are proposing a mystical experience,which challenges the limits of the human mind, almost mandatory if you are staying at our Villa Il Principe..We are talking about a visit to the Tarot Garden. Stop, I already know you're thinking "I don't want to spend my 1st of May with a tour guide" or "what a bore guided tours are", "it will surely be something already seen" but the Tarot Garden goes beyond anything you can imagine.This enchanted place is a completely unconventional open-air museum: in fact, the artist who created and financed it completely independently did not plan any guided tours. Niki has left visitors free to interpret the museum's contents: according to her, "we are born without knowing the rules" and it is right to conduct a visit according to this philosophy.Niki de Saint Phalle began construction of the Tarot Garden in 1979 and followed all the work closely, very closely.In fact, the artist lived in a sculpture inside the park, more precisely inside the Empress, throughout the realisation of her work. Today you can visit his residence consisting of a gleaming dining room with walls made entirely of mirrored ceramics, a dream bathroom and a bedroom that is anything but sober.As you will see, all the appliances are in working order and the rooms are habitable.Upon arrival you will find yourself in front of a wall that defends the garden from reality, and once you have crossed the portal you can begin the esoteric walk between culture and nature.Once you cross the threshold, you will be catapulted in front of towering figures that recall the iconography of tarot cards in a style that is a clear reference to the works of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi. Follow your instincts when visiting the 24 main statues, the important thing is not to have any schemes.Each piece of the garden is unique: all the parts have been made by hand, from the inner framework (which has been bent over the knees of the collaborators) to the ceramics made to measure by the ceramist Venera Finocchiaro. The last piece of information we are giving you concerns the tickets, nothing else, we don't want to spoil the surprise, you will be the poets describing this joyful garden.In order to visit the garden, you will need to buy a ticket (the cost varies, there are discounts).To purchase tickets, click here. We are ready to welcome you, now it's your turn! © Rebecca Taizzani

Boring afternoon? Busy week? Don't worry, we'll cheer you up. Here is the second part of our article on Crete's most beautiful beaches. If you've been gaping at the pink sand of Elafonisi or the crystal-clear water of Voulisma, wait until you see the rest. As we always say: stop dreaming, book one of our villas and experience it first hand! Kedrodasos The beach of Kedrodasos is the perfect alternative to the beach of Elafonisi: their proximity makes them very similar, but unlike the latter, the beach of Kedrodasos is still little known. This allows you to enjoy the spectacle in complete tranquillity. Kedrodasos is a protected area of Crete and there are no facilities in the vicinity, which makes the place even more intimate and secluded (and often frequented by naturists). The presence of very light sand and smooth rocks contribute to a picture that has nothing to envy from exotic beaches. The sea is always flat because the area is more protected from the winds than neighbouring Elafonisi. The landscape takes on unreal colours, from light blue to electric blue with dark spots revealing patches of posidonia growing on the seabed. In areas where the water is very shallow, it feels like being in natural pools. We recommend that you bring everything you need for a day at sea and, above all, that you treat this unspoilt corner of nature with the utmost respect. Balos Lagoon The Balos Lagoon is a lagoon separated from the bay of the same name by a tongue of sand that joins the promontory of Corico to Cape Tigani, in the most north-western part of the island of Crete, in Greece. A few small prerequisites for an unforgettable experience: before venturing along the unpaved road that will lead you to the Balos Lagoon you will have to pay a 1 euro fee for the protection of the Gramvousa Reserve and the preservation of the road. After that the route starts to get tricky with potholes, uneven ground and goats crossing the road. In about 20 minutes at a very low speed you reach a large car park. To reach the beach you have to walk for another 20 minutes on a path with a wonderful view over the lagoon and the sea. Don't be put off by the somewhat challenging path - you will be rewarded by a breathtaking landscape with a Caribbean beach and crystal-clear water. Seitan Limania Beach Setain Limania beach, also called Agios Stefanou, is located on the Akrotiri peninsula. It has white sand and turquoise sea, all set in a beautiful cove. Until recently it was only frequented by locals and friendly goats, but nowadays it is very crowded at weekends. We recommend a midweek visit. To get to Devil's Beach (another name for the beach in Seitan Limania) you can leave your car in a nearby car park and take the central road at the fork in the road, which you will find in front of you: in 10 minutes you will reach the beach and your walk will be enlivened by a beautiful landscape. This beauty is only half an hour's drive from our Cabanavillas: two little jewels with a panoramic swimming pool and just a few steps from the sea! The perfect solution for those who want to enjoy the natural beauties of Crete without renouncing to pubs, beach clubs and exquisite restaurants! Don't you want to leave yet? We already have a selection of villas that will suit you! Send an email to booking@posarellivillas.com and together we can plan the perfect holiday.© Rebecca Taizzani

In an undefined time, someone laid the first stone to build what would later become one of the most beautiful castles in Tuscany: the castle of Montegufoni. From that moment on, he remained there, watching over the Tuscan countryside like a grandfather does with his grandchildren. He defended that place on the hill with all his strength, bowing to the attacks of the Florentines without ever surrendering. Its 'wounds' were tended to by the Acciaioli family, and brick by brick the castle was transformed: halls, external cottages, chapels and so on and so forth. Montegufoni was no longer a pile of stones, it was alive. This was the beginning of what can be defined as the golden age of the castle: from an unknown place to a meeting point for important people such as the King of Naples, Cosimo de Medici and many members of the Florentine high society. As the years went by, Montegufoni became more splendid, so much so that it was the eccentric George Sitwell who fell in love with the structure. The marriage between George and Montegufoni was the epitome of a dream marriage, something to make the happy endings of the best romantic films envious. Sitwell lavished attention on the entire castle, giving special treatment to some of the rooms: the walls of the bedrooms have the honour of housing the masks and harlequins of the illustrious Gino Severini. Since 1972 the Posarelli family has been taking care of this structure, trying to keep intact the great history of this idyllic place but adapting it to modern needs. Today's redesign takes us to the second floor of the castle in the flat Montegufoni 27. The flat can accommodate up to 5 people and offers a double panoramic view: on one side the inner courtyard, on the other the infinite Tuscan panorama. During the spring season everything is framed by colourful flowers, creating an unforgettable palette of colours. Once you open the door it is impossible not to notice the attention paid to the furnishings: the soft colours that bring out the brightness, the modern furnishings in cold colours contrasting with antiques in warm tones. Down a few steps you will find yourself in front of a large open space comprising a sitting room, dining room and kitchen. The mirrors behind the sofa give depth to the room, without making it dispersive and impersonal. The open space is overlooked by three rooms: two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a large shower.

When talking about Crete, the first thing that comes to mind is the cultural wonders that this island has to offer: from the Labyrinth of Knossos to the archaeological site of Phaestos, nicknamed "the bridge to Egypt", not to mention the beautiful capital Heraklion. Today, however, we want to change the perspective, we want to shift the focus from the immense artistic and cultural heritage to the natural and landscape heritage. In addition to the “Brocchetta di Guarnià” and the paintings with their bright colours and sharp outlines, Crete offers another type of artwork. Flowing brushstrokes, warm colours dipping into shades of turquoise blue, in stark contrast to the sharpness of burnt brown, and again flowing lines intertwining with each other to create bristling, sharp-edged areas. Which work of art are we talking about? The island of Crete itself. Close your eyes and imagine breathtaking panoramas, long stretches of golden sand, colours that mingle to the point of seeming surreal, tongues of white sand connecting beaches with uninhabited islands. If you book one of our houses you will no longer have to dream about it, you can live it. Now all you have to do is put a pair of shoes in your suitcase and read on! Voulisma beach This beautiful beach is located in the south-east of the island in the beautiful region of Lassithi. Thanks to the deep turquoise sea that washes the sandy beach, Voulisma beach is reminiscent of the tropics. Behind it, a high rocky cliff covered with Mediterranean vegetation gives it the unique touch and the rightful reputation it has so far earned. The waters of Voulisma beach are clean and transparent with a gently sloping seabed, perfect for children. This paradise is seven hundred meters long and for the most part is well equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. The bay is ideal for those who love long swims and for those who adore snorkelling: plunge your head under the crystal clear waters and you will find a real playground of marine flora and fauna. If you like to keep your feet on the ground, our advice is to venture to the top of the promontory, where you'll find a snack bar and a breathtaking view. Trust us, the long flight of steps will be well worth it. Elafonisi beach Located on the southwest coast of Crete Island, Elafonissi (or Elafonisi) is also called the 'Caribbean of the Mediterranean' for its white beach with pink hues and warm turquoise waters. The main beach is well-equipped with facilities for renting umbrellas, sunbeds and several bars. The jewel in the crown? The small island of Elafonissi in front of the beach of the same name, which, depending on the tides, is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand on some days, while on others it is a real island that can be reached by walking through knee-deep waters. On the small island, you can relax on the free beach and feel as if you are in the Caribbean, when in fact you are in Europe. If you want to get away from civilisation, venture to the back of the island: the most rural and characterised by small bays where peace and tranquillity reign. At the far end of the island is a promontory where you can find a lighthouse and the small chapel of Agia Irini . Be sure to stay on this beach until sunset - here you can admire the best sunsets in Crete. Preveli beach Preveli beach takes its name from the monastery located at the top of this part of the south coast of Crete. Together with the monastery, it is one of the most visited places on the island. Since the late 1960s, the beach and its surroundings have been inhabited by hippies from all over the world for a long time. The beauty of the landscape and the atmosphere were perfect for their ideals of peace and freedom. The curiosity of this beach lies in the river Megas Potamos: the freshwater stream ends in the sea and the beach of sand mixed with tiny light-coloured pebbles acts as a watershed. It is not every day that one can swim in both the fresh water of the river and the salt water of the sea. In addition, behind the beach is a dense palm grove that lines the river bed creating an exotic atmosphere; hence the name Palm Beach. To get to Palm Beach you have to leave your car in the car park (for a fee) and then walk up almost 500 steps. What are you waiting for?

Colours, scents, sensations. From the delicate white marble of Carrara Cathedral to the massive walls of Lucca and the narrow streets of Montefioralle: Italy is a wonderful country that offers cultural heritage, food, hospitality and above all, iconic clothes. Talking about fashion in front of the "Venus of Botticelli" or the "Tondo Doni" might seem frivolous, but it is not, because fashion is art, and like art it expresses the need for a new perspective, a new content of social and cultural reality. Haute couture is not a fad to be dispensed with: it is just a way to export Italy to the world, to represent our way of being, our essence. It is true that a dress or an accessory is just a garment, but we should not forget that the garment is nothing more than our unveiling, our personality. To use an oxymoron: to dress is to lay bare one's self. So why not take advantage of your stay in one of our villas to go home with a piece of Italy?We've seen that you've lightened your suitcase and have already prepared a place in your wardrobe. Read on to find out where to buy your new favourite item!FLORENCEIf red is your favourite colour and studs fascinate you, just a few steps from one of the most photographed bridges (Ponte Vecchio) there is a shop for you. We are talking about the timeless Valentino Garavani, who had the honour of dressing Lady Diana. Continue along this street and let yourself be carried away by the store windows: you are in Via Tornabuoni, one of the most exclusive streets in Florence, renowned for its luxury boutiques. Don't resist the colourful patterns of Emilio Pucci and the new textures of Prada. From Villa Nora it takes only 30 minutes by car. Don't miss this opportunity. LECCIO If you like the tidy creativity of the man who dared to make a woman wear a suit, this blurb is for you. Giorgio Armani's boutique is waiting for you with open doors. If, on the other hand, you are a more extravagant type, a lover of nonchalant vitality, Versace is the brand for you. Medusa head, bright colours, a "Safety Hair Pin Dress" worn at the premiere of the film "4 Weddings and a Funeral". Want to find out more? Run to the shop. If you have ever flown with Alitalia, you will certainly have come across Alberta Ferretti's uniforms, a reference point for many Italian women. With its refined materials it succeeds in representing a romantic and ethereal woman, who wants to express her personality without becoming part of the masses. Elegant, colourful, fluid and truly inimitable: this is how Ferretti's clothes stand out. Are you afraid of having to travel several kilometres to get to one of these shops? Don't worry: these staples of Italian fashion are all gathered in The Mall outlet. A must if you're staying at Villa Stolli. FORTE DEI MARMI If you've booked Villa Sophia or you' re relaxing in the garden of Villa Oliveta, treat yourself to a day of shopping on the streets of Forte dei Marmi. Once you arrive, the breeze and the rustle of the sea will guide you expertly through the various streets full of boutiques. Bottega Veneta and its "Bottega Green", Gucci with its unexpected minimalism and Missoni with its "put-together": a free and only apparently casual mixture and overlapping of stitches and patterns. What are you waiting for? Run and book. © Rebecca Taizzani

Are you hearing more and more about sustainability? Is the issue of environmental pollution close to your heart? Would you like to be able to go on holiday without harming the planet? At the same time, are you afraid of having to leave all your comforts behind, having to move only on foot or having to cook using a bonfire in the garden? If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, you are reading the right article. Posarellivillas cares a lot about environmental issues, so it has included eco-friendly solutions in its program: villas that can have almost complete energy independence, electric recharging stations, organic products at zero distance and much more. Don't worry if some of the terms sound strange to you, if for you green was just a colour and not a lifestyle. Keep reading, you won't regret it, and who knows, maybe at the end of this article you might want to book your first eco-sustainable holiday. Before picturing you by the pool drinking a freshly squeezed juice from the garden, made with energy from the solar panels installed in the huge garden of the villa, let us make a small introduction on what sustainability is for us. Posarellivillas by sustainability refers to that model of development capable of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In simple terms, the eco-sustainable approach means that we can hand down to our children and grandchildren a healthy planet and who knows, maybe they can even experience one of our properties. But enough theory, let's get practical! VILLA BLUEWHITE IN CRETE Expertly designed by its owner, Villa Bluewhite combines design with environmental sustainability. As well as an 18-metre saltwater swimming pool, a tennis court and a bowling alley, guests can enjoy organic olive oil from the surrounding olive grove, spices, vegetables and fruit all grown on the property. Does that sound eco-friendly enough? Add to that the solar panels that produce much of the villa's energy and a charging station for electric cars. In the mood for a holiday?

Greek history has always been fused with mythology, creating a unique culture. The existing myths and legends weave together an incredible story. Today we will tell you the legend of the Knossos labyrinth, also known as the Minotaur labyrinth.Are you ready to jump in to this magnificent legend? Get ready to discover all the details of the Minotaur Labyrinth of Knossos!THE PALACE OF KNOSSOS Let’s start with recent history: the Knossos Labyrinth was excavated at the beginning of the 1900s by the English archeologist Sir Arthur Evans. He uncovered an immense palace dating back to 2000 BC totaling 22,000 square meters, with more than 1300 rooms. The palace was used as the center of Minoan life. Unfortunately it was destroyed in about 1628 BC following an earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption of Thera, or Santorini. It was then rebuilt in the following years on the same foundations as the ancient palace. Probably the legend of the Minotaur doesn’t refer to a labyrinth outside of the palace, but rather to the palace itself, because its rooms and corridors were so dense that it seemed like a labyrinth.The Palace of Knossos sits on Kephala hill, a few kilometers from Heraklion. It is one of the main tourist attractions on the island of Crete. It has not just the remains of structures, but also magnificent mosaics and frescoes of Minoan civilization.THE LEGEND The story of the Minotaur begins when Minos, King of Crete, asked Poseidon, god of the sea, to give him a large white bull. Minos was to sacrifice the bull in order to show citizens of Crete his worth as King, and how much the gods esteemed him. But when Minos received the bull, he decided to keep it for himself. This annoyed Poseidon, and so he made Minos’s wife Pasiphae fall in love with the bull. The Minotaur was born from their union: an insatiable beast who soon would eat only human flesh. To contain the Minotaur’s violence, Minos closed him inside the famous Labyrinth. It was built by Daedalus and Icarus, who remained trapped inside and escaped by building wax wings. It happened that Minos’s son Androgeus was killed by Athenian warriors, jealous of his strength and athletic ability which led him to win every competition. In revenge, Minos forced Athens to send seven young men and seven maidens every year to be fed to the Minotaur.Theseus, son of Aegeus, King of Athens, decided to put an end to this punishment and leave along with the children sent to Crete, in order to kill the Minotaur. When Theseus arrived in Crete, Ariadne, daughter of Minos, fell immediately in love with him and asked Daedalus to help her find the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. Daedalus showed Ariadne the way and suggested she give Theseus a red thread to unwind when setting out in the labyrinth in order to find the way back (“Ariadne’s thread”). Theseus found the Minotaur and killed him after a violent battle, and also saved the other children. He prepared to return to Athens, bringing with him Ariadne and her younger sister Phaedra.From this point on, there are many existing versions of the story that tell of Ariadne being abandoned on the island of Naxos, that she fell asleep when they stopped to rest. Some say that Dionysus, god of music and wine, forced Theseus to leave Ariadne there so that he could marry her himself. Others say that Theseus forgot about her, and when Dionysus saw Ariadne so upset, he decided to marry her to end her suffering. In any case, the legend of Theseus, the Minotaur and Ariadne ends in tragedy: Theseus had promised his father Aegeus that if he succeeded in his endeavor he would change the sails on his ship from black to white. But on his way home, Theseus forgot to change the sails. When Aegeus saw the ship with black sails on the horizon, in despair he threw himself in the sea and died. That sea was named after him and became the Aegean Sea.If you would like to visit the Knossos Labyrinth and see this important archaeological site up close, book a trip to Crete! We recommend taking a look at our vacation villas on the island of Crete, such as Villa Eftychia, Villa Sevi Grande and Villa Romantic Sevi, for a dream stay!

Here amid the stark nature and crystal-clear waters of Sicily, the Italian island famous for its rich cultural and historical heritage, there is a place that takes visitors’ breath away. It is the magnificent Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, an open-air archeology museum that was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. The 1300-hectare archeological area is a souvenir of the ancient hilltop city of Akragas, the center of the future Agrigento. The city flourished in the 5th century BC and was a Greek colony, as can be seen by the style of its art and architecture. The Valley of the Temples includes some of the most important examples of classical Greek art and culture and the ruins tell us history from thousands of years ago. The city of Akragas went through many vicissitudes and was constantly in foreigners’ sights because of its important strategic location on the Mediterranean sea. It was conquered by the Carthaginians in 410 BC, who razed it to the ground; then by the Romans a few centuries later, who gave new splendor to the city, naming it Agrigentum. Together let’s discover the most important sights to visit at the Valley of the Temples. The archeological area of the Valley of the Temples has a total of 8 temples, some of which are very well preserved. 1. Temple of the Dioscuri Also called the Temple of Castor and Pollux. The temple actually lies in the Sanctuary of the Chthonic Deities and was therefore probably erected in honor of the gods of the Earth (Demeter, Persephone, Dionysus) and not Castor and Pollux. 2. Temple of Zeus Once one of the largest temples in the world, comparable to the famous Parthenon in Athens. It was as big as a soccer field and could hold up to about 42,000 people. Now only the base of this magnificent temple remains, but there is a reconstruction model in the Agrigento Museum of Archeology that gives an idea of how its architecture would have been. 3. Temple of Heracles Or Temple of Hercules, the the main cult in ancient Akragas. This is one of the oldest temples of the valley, and was destroyed by an earthquake. Today we can see only eight of the original columns. 4. Temple of Concordia It is the best-preserved temple and the symbol of the Valley of the Temples, built in 480 BC to honor Zeus. One of a kind, it remained intact because it was converted to a Christian church in the 6th century AD. Special to the temple were the telamons: stone giants representing Atlas, almost eight meters tall that held up to the temple roof, figuratively the sky. At the valley there is a copy of a telamon, while the only original, the Telamon of Olympian Zeus, along with the remains of three others, are housed at the Agrigento Museum of Archeology. 5. Temple of Juno Or of Hera Lacinia, where weddings were celebrated. Architecturally similar to the Temple of Concordia, the base and columns have remained intact. The temple was about 20 meters tall and surrounded by 34 columns. It was constructed in about 450 BC and was destroyed by the Carthaginians when they took control of the city. The other three, less famous temples not to be overlooked are: 6. The Temple of Vulcan 7. The Temple of Demeter 8. The Temple of Asclepius (God of Medicine) which accommodated sick people. There are various other areas in the Valley of the Temples to look out for as you move among the temples: - Necropolis: stretches along the road to Temple of the Concordia, and its characteristic catacombs are still well-preserved. - The Agora areas, which span many terraces and were the center of public life, where you can glimpse the Bouleuterion (the “Town Hall”) and the Oratory of Phalaris. - The Kolymbetra Garden, lush with plants and citrus trees, managed by the FAI, the National Trust of Italy. True history and archeology lovers won’t want to miss out on the Museum of Archeology, which houses excellently-preserved amphoras, mosaics and statues found in the Valley of the Temples and surrounding areas. You can also visit the Valley of the Temples at night, an unforgettable experience! Especially in the summer, it can also be a more comfortable time to visit. The best time to arrive is about 6:30 pm, so you can enjoy the splendid sunset over the temples. Now is the time to book your trip to Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples! This important archeological site can be reached from our splendid holiday villas in Sicily, such as Villa Agorà, Villa Camemi and Villa Dimora Pura
