New Vendome Guide for Italy
Villa Specialist Wimco Sets the Standard
for Demystifying Villa Rentals in Italy

NEWPORT, RI, September, 2007 -- “The mystery of the green heart of Italy is how it retains its otherworldliness, despite outside influences that could, if given the chance, corrupt it.”

Hats off to travel writer Quentin Warren whose sentiments in a new and stunning 110-page, 4-color magazine come as close as possible to capturing the magical experience of a villa vacation in enchanting Italian countryside.
