What's New - 10 July 2010
The hot weather continues. This is what Italy is about; clear blue
skies and sunny days by the pool. Ours is a big pool (13m x 6m)
located on the highest terrace in the garden and from it you look
down on the house as well as over the valley. As we are at
460metres above sea level, it's a spectacular view. On hot days,
nothing could be nicer than floating around in the water doing very
little other than contemplating the beauty of the Umbrian
countryside. During this month and on into August there are many
festivals and special events in the surrounding towns, so there's lots
to do when you're not in the pool.

| There's a separate section on the website for you to explore, featuring antique maps and prints for sale, mainly of West Africa, but also covering other parts of the world . All are absolutely original and mostly date from the 17th and 18th centuries. There are some extraordinary items on offer. Do take a look by going to KNOWN WORLD MAPS & PRINTS. |
Do take a look at some of the great places you'll be able to visit if you come to stay at Mazzaforte in the
SIGHTSEEING part of our site. There are, of course, lots of other things to do nearby and if you let us
know in advance that you'd like to do a morning's Umbrian cookery course, or go horse riding through
the hills or take the kids whitewater rafting - we can book these and many other activities for you before
you arrive. If you have a particular interest you'd like to pursue, drop us a line and we'll let you know
what can be arranged during your stay.

| During July and August last year we gained two new additions to the cast at Mazzaforte, both puppies from local farms. The two of them proved to be a tremendous hit with our younger guests over last summer. |
| Since then, they've grown quite a lot and developed some bad habits. |
The sunshine
definitely shows off
both house and
garden to
advantage.
