Here’s a really tempting offer just for ShermansTravel.com readers. Ever dream of staying in fabulous villa in Tuscany? Well, you can for half the price! Homebase Abroad is offering 50 percent off at the stunning Villa d’Orcia for the month of May, plus a $500 credit for extras like transfers and tours. The 8-bedroom designer villa, complete with heated pool, hot tub, and onsite cook, usually goes for $17,800/week but you’ll only pay $8,800/week (that’s only $157 per couple per night). And with May flights to Tuscany available for about $800 round-trip, you can really live it up in Italy for less. You have to act fast, of course (all you planners, it may be time to get spontaneous!).
