Tips, tricks and things not to miss — in Rome and beyond.
After living for two months in the Valle d’Aosta, I fell completely in love with Italy’s smallest, snowy, Alps-ridden region. Find out why in my story for Canada’s Globe and Mail.
Also: my favorite agriturismo in Italy, and the most romantic spots in Rome.
New York Magazine’s article on the best short-term rentals for winter travel just went live, and I’m thrilled to say my contributions on Rome and the Valle d’Aosta are there, too.
Although I’m not going to lie: As temperatures finally start to dip here in Rome, places like Cartagena, Colombia and Culebra, Puerto Rico don’t look too bad, either.
But do check the piece out. These kinds of short-term rentals are hot right now, and for good reason: You can enjoy all of the comforts of home, and a killer location, for way cheaper than a hotel. And if you go through a site like AirBnB, it’s pretty safe. Just stay away from Craigslist—that’s where the scams abound!
