We’ll be in Coimbra for 3 nights in May and will have a car. I’ve got reservations at Hotel Oslo (a superior room with balcony, more convenient, less charm) or a standard room (old section) at Quinta Das Lagrimas (across the river, sits within a garden, more charm, less convenient). Both have parking - Oslo has a garage, the Quinta has... Read More

I am trying to rent a 6+ bedroom in Tuscany for 3 weeks. I am trying to find a reputable company to use. It is very scary to spend that much money not really sure you are getting what you think you are getting. I've been looking at Tuscany Now & More and WIMCO. Does anyone have any experience with either of these companies? Or recommendations o... Read More

Hi all! I'll be spending two weeks in Spain later this month, in part for a work trip (covering the five weekdays of the first week).

Food and architect... Read More

Hi - It seems that I may actually get to go back to Greece this summer, and I’m getting excited. If all goes as planned 🤞🏻, I’ll be on Paros for 9 nights with another 8 nights to spend in Nafplio and Athens.

Hi All, especially those who have returned from France recently: A negative test is required to board airlines to return to the USA. I understand that special proctor-verified tests are available. But what format does the proof have to be in? (obviously the test strip won't suffice). In order to use these proctor-verified tests, one has to sign... Read More
