Slow Travel Website

Just found this interesting website on Slow Travel: Slow Travel - vacation rentals, villas, reviews, travel information for Europe (Italy, France, England, Switzerland, Spain), USA and worldwide

"What is Slow Travel?
Slow Travelers stay in vacation rentals around the world - apartments, villas, houses, cottages, cabins, condos that you rent by the week. Other terms used for these types of rentals are self-catering, tourist rentals, holiday rentals, holiday cottages, agritourism (Italy), Gites (France).
Basing yourself in a vacation rental makes for a different, slower, vacation. You stay longer in one place and get to know one area in depth. ..."

Don't know why timeshares wouldn't fit in the above definition too! The website looks like it might have some valuable information for those of us who like to travel.

I've used that website many times and found it to be an invaluable tool when we were going to Italy. I rented my villas from some of the sites on their links. I never saw any timeshares though. The site has information relating to anything to do with Italy and overseas, such as transporation, schedules, wines, tours, rentals and other things. great information for the overseas traveler.

It has quite a lot of info about Italy and other places in Europe and it also has a nice list of Webcams in Italy and various countries.
We are leaving for Italy in 2 weeks and have been looking at the Sorrento webcam alot because it shows people up close and we can see what they are wearing and judge weaher from that. Unfortunately all this week people have been wearing a lot of jackets!!!
