Oldie Todi

by karenincalifornia - last update: Feb 23, 2005

My home for a week

Todi and Umbrian countryside
And what a wonderful week it was! Todi was our home base for our trip to Northern Italy in the summer of 2004. This trip was significant because it was the very first major trip I took since becoming part of VT. My itinerary was greatly influenced by the recommendations of other VT members.

pchamlis told me I absolutely had to try the gelato and Italy had about 91 flavors. croisbeauty told me that Umbria was more beautiful than Tuscany and that I shouldn't miss the Umbrian Jazz Festival in Perugia. deecat gave me a list and description of Umbrian towns to visit and Todi was at the top of her list. And of course, I pestered other members incessantly with my questions. Thank you, VT friends! You helped make our trip to Italy incredibly memorable and one of the best vacations I have ever taken!
Piazza del Popolo, Todi, Italy

Not just once in a lifetime...

Todi was magical, classy, beautiful and fun. We visited many Umbrian towns, but Todi was my favorite right from the very start. With so many countries, cities and towns to visit in the world, I don't often say I will come back and I will stay in exactly the same place. But that is exactly what I said after this trip.

I will come back to Todi someday. I will do everything the same. I will stay in the same house. I will see the same sights. This vacation was my dream vacation and I will return.

 You guys know how to travel! What a fabulous villa...exactly how I'd like to spend my time in the country. Do you suppose they would notice a squatter in that little abandoned stone house?

 Was in this very restaurant two years ago the meal was one of the best my wife and I have had in Italy. Also stopped in the shop next door for great Itilian cookies.
