Hello,

My name is Jerry and I'm in the process of planning a family reunion of about 20 near Siena. I've used this board in the past for info on previous trips to Italy, but never posted. This will be my fourth trip to Italy. Some of my group have been there, but most are newbies. Our ancestoral home is Arrezo, and we still have some distant family there. I've found a villa as a base of operations, but I think we'll need some other lodgings as well.

Anyhow, I look forward to be part of the community.

Hi Jerry - welcome to Slow Travel Talk.

It sounds like you're planning a great family reunion. I'm hoping to visit Arezzo for the first time this spring - looking forward to seeing those fabulous frescoes!

Have you seen this articleon the SlowTrav.com site by Ellen S with tips on planning a large group trip? You might find some helpful advice there.

See you on the forums -
Colleen

Colleen,

Thanks for the article. Lots of good advice. Planning for a large group is difficult. We'll probably spend some time in Arezzo, so I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Ciao,
Jerry
