    I must admit, that is a beauty! I have always loved to have a courtyard. I remember growing up we used to have one but I don't remember if it was Spanish style (probably was, since the medditareanian (sp?) style is very similar)

    If you like this style you should check out the Standard Pacific Tuscan style model above Crystal Cove that's selling for $7MM or so. One of the other models has a subterranean garage for about 8 cars. That and the newly remodeled Getty Villa. ;)

    Villa Cerretello in Santa Stephano. 25 miles north of San Gimiano. Stayed there twice, the last time with 3 families and 20 people. It is on 1000 acres owned by a family, and they have built 3 new villas there too. Just google Villa Cerretello if you want to find out more about it. 45 minutes to Florence, 50 minutes to Pisa, and 3 1/2 hours to the Ferrari Factory.
    Tuscany is tough to beat !

    +1 on the Alhambra. My jaw dropped the second I stepped in, and stayed wide open until I got out late in the afternoon. My friends thought I was upset because apparently I didn't say all but a few words during the whole visit! hahaha. Never went through so many pictures so quickly. Good thing the Alhambra was great, because I hated the rest of the city! ah!

    you know... i hadn't even noticed that. that's amazing. i just looked through my Spain trip photos and realized yes, there's other people in just about everyone of them. i was there in 1999 for Holy week and was able to watch the processions in Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla. absolutely breathtaking.

    sorry for the thread hi-jack, i'm done.
