Umbria
March 2001

In TRAVELER’s March issue, James Morgan writes on renting a villa in the Umbrian countryside. Delving into Internet resources is one of the easiest ways to browse pictures and information on the types of rentals available today. So online we offer tips on how to find your dream villa in Umbria from Claire Packman, owner of At Home Abroad, www.athomeabroadco.com, a company that specializes in rental properties throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Plus, we offer our 12 favorite Web sites that provide detailed information on renting in Italy.
