Casco dell'Acqua, Umbria
The tiny, tiny cluster of houses that is Casco dell'Acqua is hard to find but well worth the effort this weekend! Each year they have a flower festival where the river Clitunno, which flows through the village, is decorated with amazing floral displays. This year the theme was 150 years of Italian unification and pictured above are just some of the stunning designs. We didn't know about this festival until today, when we visited Trevi and saw a poster about it. Glad we went - it's just one of those little celebrations of life that go on in every Italian village, that mean so much to the local inhabitants and touch those of us from the outside lucky enough to take part.
Sometimes luxurious hotels are only located in fancy neighbourhoods. So when you want to stay in one of those, you only have the option to stay in those areas. The good thing about an apartment is that it can be luxurious and at the same time be located in any neighbouhood you like. Last year I travelled to Argentina and I got an .apartment rental in Buenos Aires in Villa Crespo, which is not only for tourists or wealthy people but also for the middle class and I loved being there, the supermarket products were much cheaper!
