The activity in Nantucket doesn't stop after Labor Day. Prices and crowds dip in September but the weather is still nice enough for the beach. In October you can eat your way through the Chowder Festival or experience the Cranberry Festival.
Let the autumn breeze carry you to Provence this year to visit the beautiful village of St Paul that inspired so many of France's most influential artists. It's a great central location to visit the French Riviera or experience the harvest at outdoor markets and fine restaurants.
Gather your closest friends and make this the year you finally experience the autumn harvest in Italy. A festive vibe pulses through the countryside as locals gather to celebrate a bountiful season and taste the resulting wine and olive oil.
Fall is a beautiful time in Hawaii as the summer crowds disperse and visitors can enjoy more of the local feel of the islands. In September, attend the Aloha festival on Oahu that celebrates the culture of our 50th state.
Just a quick note to let you know that
Villa HII SAN
and the staff exceeded my highest of expectations. The property was superb, with over 500 olive trees, and what my son called a mini zoo. Peacocks, hens, roosters and a beautiful 13 year old, huge Italian sheep dog named Lotario, whom the children checked on every day. The nearest town was wonderful with great markets and shops. It made for an exceptional family reunion! This was a trip of a lifetime, and the family all concur!
