Enjoying a vacation rental in a Tuscany vineyard

Wandering the hilly, narrow cobblestone streets in our home base of Montalcino, a medieval city of interlocking passageways, steps, and alleyways curving around and through and behind and beyond the main square, I reminded myself I was walking through history spanning eight hundred years. Stopping for lunch, I ordered a glass of the house wine. A bottle arrived at the table. When I protested, I was told to drink what I wanted and I would be charged accordingly. Not a bad system, I thought.…

Gecko Villa January 29, 2010 at 6:53am

Gecko Villa and Green Gecko in rural Northeast Thailand are not typical vacation rentals: both offer fully catered holidays, both are off the beaten path rather than in touristy zones, both have a minimum stay of only two nights, and guests at each are welcomed to the area and integrated in the local ways of life to they extent they choose by a local Thai family.

Green Gecko is a traditional Thai house with a private pool offering luxury stays, whilst Gecko Villa is a large country house on extensive grounds, again with a private swimming pool and its own emerald rice paddies.

Details of activities undertaken at the property may be seen at this Thai villa's blog.
