The old fishing village, the small harbour and the picturesquely painted houses are all in the centre of the village. Capoliveri has a pretty beach promenade and romantic lanes - favourite spots to meet and go for an evening stroll. nThe island: The island of Elba is a sports lover's paradise - it is just the right place for all those who wish to spend an active holiday enjoying what both nature and water have to offer. Just 10 km from the mainland and with an area of 224 square kilometers, it is the largest island of the Tuscan archipelago and Italy's third largest island. A large part of Elba and the Tuscan islands (Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio and Giannutri) is under the conservation protection of the Tuscan archipelago. The climate is always mild at an average temperature of around 16c2b0C. The average winter temperature is 10c2b0C, 14c2b0C in spring, 23c2b0C in summer and 17c2b0C in autumn. There are more than 70 beaches on the coastline, some of which are quiet spots, while others are more frequently visited. nConnections: Good connections from Elba to the Tuscan coast in Piombino. The ferry from Piombino to Portoferraio (Elba's capital) takes about 50 min. The timetable depends on the season (the ferry leaves almost every hour during high season). Piombino is about two hours from Florence (motorway), which means that day trips to Florence or the Tuscan hinterland are also possible if you stay here. Elba can be reached by aeroplane, in midsummer Marina di Campo is a destination from Milan, Rome and Pisa in Italy, Bern in Switzerland, Munich in Germany and Vienna in Austria. nSport: The island is blessed with many different beaches: rocky, pebble and sandy. During the summer sun umbrellas and sunloungers can be rented on the beaches by the day. The water is clear and refreshing, it is considered the cleanest in the Mediterranean. All kinds of water sports are offered on the island. Monte Capanne is 1.018 m high and Elba's highest mountain. From its peak, hikers enjoy a splendid view of the mainland, Corsica, Capraia, Pianosa and Monte Cristo. The forests and mountain routes attract trekkers and mountain bikers. Trekking guides can be hired to ensure that you experience the most breathtaking views on hikes on marked pathways in experienced company. Riding stables organise guided rides in the hills. nExcursions: The ancient hill villages, such as Poggio, Marciana and Capoliveri, as well as the beautiful town Portoferraio with its Medicean Renaissance fortress and Napoleon's residence are worthwhile destinations for excursions. Take a walk to see sanctuaries, archaeological sites and memorial churches. After a one-hour ferry crossing and a few kilometres only on the mainland, you will reach the Etruscan towns of Populonia (very close to Piombino), Pisa and Lucca. nHistory: Elba was inhabited by the Greeks in 10 BC. Over the centuries, it was conquered by Etruscans, Romans, Normans and Saracens. In 1802 it was annexed by France and in 1814 Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to Elba following the Treaty of Fontainebleau. Napoleon never sensed his exile as a banishment, and he left several traces, among them two residences which can be visited today.... more info >>

It is well known for its lagoon, which is an estuary of the Zinkwazi River. Zinkwazi Beach nestled between beach and lagoon, is a nature lover's wonderland of walks, fishing, spectacular bird life, indigenous forest, water sports and endless beaches. The tranquil lagoon at Zinkwazi is the longest in KwaZulu-Natal, ideal for a gracious picnic in the company of the 'izinkwazi' or fish eagles perched along the banks of the lagoon. Zinkwazi has a magnificent caravan park with an abundance of indigenous trees and bird life. A superb restaurant provides the finishing touch. It was the time of the early Iron Age, about 300 – 1000 AD, a place of human culture, characterized by the use of iron tools and weapons. No roads or tracks marred the landscape, the wheel was an unknown to the inhabitants and only trample- paths by man and beast criss-crossed this area. Along the coastal belt, stretching between the Nonoti and Tugela rivers, the nomadic “strandlopers” appeared, gathering sustenance mainly from the sea and temporarily settling where food was found. One of their favorite resting and watering places, confirmed by archaeological discoveries, was the beach area just south of the Zinkwazi Lagoon mount, where natural springs brought forth sweet water, to their liking. One of these springs still flows today through Lot 47 off Nkwazi drive. In 1922 Mr. L Balcomb discovered, on his lagoon site, human remains, which were confirmed and identified, by the University of Natal, to be those of the nomadic “strandlopers”. Again in 1958 when a local farmer, Herman Schmidt was digging foundations for a boathouse along the lagoon he unearthed human remains, which were, once again, confirmed to be those of the “strandlopers”. Although the first white settlers were already arriving in the Durban area and the area south of the Nonti River from 1824 and 1840 respectively, settlement in the area between the Nonoti and Tugela rivers only happened in the late 1850’s. One of the first settlers was a certain Joshua Walmsley. The granting of government land was the official start of the white settlements. A merchant from Cape Town, Mr. Pieter Gerhardus van der Byl, was the first to secure a grant for 633 acres of sea facing land on the south side of the Zinkwazi Lagoon for, four shillings per acre on the 27th of March 1857. Four years later on the 15th of June 1861, he sold the land to the Natal Land and Colonization Company for two pounds per acre making a nice profit of 1000%. Between the period 1861 to 1903 the land was offered for sale without any success. In 1903 Mr. Bernard Theunissen acquired the first 2-acre plot on the south bank of the Zinkwazi Lagoon. Further sales during this time followed to Horace Balcomb and Elias Andreas Hagemann. These families still own property in Zinkwazi today. The tranquil holiday village of Zinkwazi Beach is located just off the N2 highway, midway between Durban and Richards Bay, nestled between undulating sugar-cane fields, an un-spoilt lagoon and pristine beaches. The new King Shaka International Airport is a short 25min. drive to the south with Zululand’s wealth of splendid Game Reserves, tribal life and historical sites a short trip to the north. Zinkwazi Beach is also centrally situated with regards to an abundance of golf coursed, namely: Darnall, Princes Grant, Umhlali and Zimbithi to mention a few. Major shopping centers in Ballito and Umhlanga are also close by and make a pleasurable outing for the day. Zinkwazi is spoilt with endless sandy beaches and a fresh water lagoon lapping the northern edge of the village. It’s a nature lover’s wonderland of picturesque scenery, walks, fishing, spectacular bird life and indigenous forests. Its name is derived from the IsiZulu word meaning “the place of the Fish Eagle” Their haunting cry is still part of the magic in Zinkwazi beach. The local Deep Sea Angling club is situated on the main beach and members of the club have access to launch boats, jet skis etc. into the sea and lagoon. The tranquil Zinkwazi Lagoon, which is reputed to be the longest in KZN, gives the area a special atmosphere. It is a beautiful stretch of water rich in fish, prawn and crab life and is generally navigable to small crafts up to 7km from the mouth before it becomes a narrow stream. Bird life is abundant with over 230 confirmed species headed by the magnificent Fish Eagle. Zinkwazi beaches are protected by shark nets with its own Sharks Board compound. Surfing and snorkeling, specifically Cray Fishing, are very popular. Whale and Dolphin watching is another leisurely pastime that can be enjoyed from ZINKWAZI’s beautiful shores. The Zululand brewing company – Eshowe: The Zululand brewing Company is known as the smallest family owned brewery of the KwaZulu-Natal beer route. Owner, Graham Chennells acquired the plant from Rawdons, where the Nottingham Brewing Company first brewed their tasty beer. The plant is found in the garden of the Zululand Hotel directly next to the pool. Graham has studied the Zulu culture and is actively involved in numerous upliftment projects. He specializes in taking people to Zulu ceremonies which take place every weekend in the rural areas. Harold Johnson Nature Reserve The Harold Johnson reserve is run by KwaZulu Natal Wildlife and offers walking trails, picnic sites, a small variety of game and a large variety of bird life. Fort Pearson and the Ultimatum Tree, both of which are national monuments, lie within the reserve. The Fort was built in 1878 on a bluff overlooking the Pont-crossing on the Tugela River. Both of these monuments played a significant role in the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. A few war graves can also be seen on site. Harold Johnson nature reserve (15km) on the Tugela South bank offers various Buck, Zebra, and birdlife. There are two trails, a Zulu artifact museum as well as historical attractions. nThe Zinkwazi Conservancy protects the Zinkwazi lagoon system (navigable for 8km) and about 20 km of coastal ecology between Blythedale and the Tugela River. The diversity of wetland, dune vegetation, forest and grassland supports an extremely rich birdlife of well over 250 species as well as the rare Bush pig, Bush buck, Porcupine, Grey, Red and the tiny Blue Duiker, Thick tailed Bush baby, Vervet Monkey, various Mongoose, water leguaan, Python, etc. Our conservancy is best experienced on the lagoon cruise or various trails and beach walks. INGWENYA Reserve on the opposite bank has more trails. Amatilulu Game Reserve (30km) on a large lagoon north of the Tugela offers canoeing, birding, hiking, fly-fishing. Dhlinza Forest reserve (with a magnificent, elevated board walk) and Ocean view game reserve are at Eshowe (65km). The Raffia Monument and Umlalazi Nature reserve at Mtunzini (60km) offer trails in the Raffia Swamp, Mangrove swamp and Dune Forest. The famous St.Lucia and Hluhluwe – Umfolozi parks are /- 180km north. Scenic attractions: Panorama drive in Zinkwazi offers beautiful views of the Coastline between the Tugela and Nonoti Rivers. The Tugela south bank (15km) between Harold Johnson and the mouth offers beautiful views of the river with its birdlife. The R111 turnoff from the N2 just north of Darnall is the shortest access. The KOP (90km) is an impressive promontory jutting out into the spectacular Tugela Gorge near Kranskop. Take the R74 from Stanger towards Greytown. Along the route are magnificent views of the Tugela Valley (North) and Umvoti Valley (south), each with their own “valleys of a thousand hills”. From Kranskop follow the signs to the Kop. The last few kilometers are on gravel. Dry weather is recommended to enjoy the views and avoid the mist. HOT SPRINGS can be found at SHU-SHU (120km) in the Tugela Gorge beyond the Kop and at LILANI (130km). Just follow the signs from the R74 beyond Kranskop into the Umvoti valley. The Zululand circular route of 270km (along the N2, R68, N2 return) runs through Eshowe, the Nkwalini valley, Empangeni, Richards Bay and Mtunzini. This is traditional hilly Zulu country with many different vegetation types and many places of interest along the way. The Dolphin coast beach route follows the most scenic beaches between Zinkwazi and Durban. The first turnoff is Blythedale opposite Stanger, next, follow the N2 South and take the Umhlali beach north turnoff. Keep left for Sheffield beach, then follow the coast through Salt Rock, Chaka’s Rock, Thompsons bay (with the hole in the wall – below Santorini Ballito.) From Ballito take the M4 (old N2) to Umhloti. Next, drive south to Umhlanga and follow the beach front road all the way into Durban North. Sibaya Casin Just north of Umhlanga with many entertainment facilities. Natal shark’s board: Daily tours, interesting displays and an unusual curio shop -Umhlanga (70km) Umgeni Bird Park: One of the world’s largest Bird parks in a natural, tropical setting in Riverside Road on the North bank of the Umgeni River (80km). Durban beach front: uShaka Marine World, Fitzsimons Snake Park, fun world, water world, mini town. Historical sites: The events in the Lower Tugela area reflect a microcosm of the history of Natal and Zululand over the past 150 years. Many of the sites are visible and accessible from Fort Pearson adjoining Harold Johnson Reserve, where a toposcope points out the sites of interest. Take the N2 north and turn right just south of the Tugela at the Harold Johnson sign (15km) The epic walk of John Ross in 1827 through the 1200km of uncharted, dangerous territory to obtain medical supplies from Maputo is commemorated by the John Ross Bridge over the Tugela. In 1883 the “Grand army of Natal” crossed the Tugela to raid Zulu cattle. The force of over 2000 was destroyed by 10 000 Zulus in the Battle of the Tugela at Ndondakusuku opposite Fort Pearson. Only a quarter of the men survived. A commemorative cairn has been erected on the Tugela North Bank 1km from the N2 on the Tugela mouth road. The struggle for succession to the Zulu throne between Cetshwayo and Mbulazi led to the largest battle ever fought on South African soil. At the Battle of Ndondakusuka (hill with radio mast east of John Ross Bridge), in 1856 opposite Fort Pearson, some 27000 warriors took part of which about 23000 where killed. Both sides included some white adventurers, but although Mbulazi had greater firepower he was routed by Cetshwayo’s superior numbers. The local stream flowing into the Tugela was littered with human bones for decades and became known as Mathambo – “Bones”. (Stream west of John Ross Bridge). In December 1878 the British Colonial authorities delivered an ultimatum to the Zulus at Ultimatum tree below Fort Pearson. The Ultimatum was designed to be impossible for the Zulus to accept and was an excuse for the colonial authorities to invade Zululand in order to destroy the powerful Zulu military threat. This ultimatum led to the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. Whilst the British Northern flanks invaded Zululand and fought the famous battles of Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift, the British Right flank under Col. Pearson crossed the Tugela at Fort Tenedos on the north bank. On his way to Eshowe, Pearson’s force of 2800 repulsed a Zulu attach of 5000 at the Nyeane River. Pearson then built Fort Eshowe and was besieged there by the Zulus. Lord Chelmsford left Fort Tenedos with 5700 men to relieve Pearson but was attacked by 11000 Zulus in the Battle of Gingindlovu. The Zulus were defeated and lost 1100 men. During the next stage of the war Major General Crealock slowly invaded Zululand from Fort Pearson. In the process building Forts Crealock, Chelmsford, Napoleon, Richards. Simultaneously Chelmsford led the British Central Flank to Ulundi, where he destroyed the royal kraal. Cetshwayo was captured a while later. That was the end of Zulu might. Fort Williamson was the original fort on the Tugela, built in 1861, it was abandoned when Fort Pearson was built slightly upstream in 1878. There is a Cemetery at Fort Pearson and another Military cemetery about 1km south of the fort along the access road. Fort Nonquai at Eshowe (65km) is a romantic stone fort which houses a fascinating local history museum, emphasizing the history of the Zulus and the white pioneers, including John Dunn. nJohn Dunn was a white adventurer, who during the latter part of the last century befriended the Zulu King. He became the only white Zulu chief and was granted control over the land north of the lower Tugela. By marrying 39 wives he founded the Dunn clan. Which is to this day a respected local family. Stanger (18km) was built on the site of Shaka’s military kraal Kwa Duguza. He was murdered here and his grave is marked by a memorial in King Shaka Road. The Stanger Museum opposite the memorial has a fascinating local history collection. THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND: Restaurants / Shopping / Golf – There are a number of exceptional courses in the area. OTHER ACTIVITIES: Walks and Hikes (self-guided) Harold Johnson nature reserve (15km) has a half hour Remedies and Rituals trail as well as the 6km Bushbuck trails through dry woodland and grasslands on the slopes of the Tugela.

Description:In the year 1716, the Italian region of Chianti made wine history when the Grand Duke Cosimo III defined which areas of Tuscany were allowed to call their wine Chianti, a fashionable and exclusive title ever since. This Tuscany vacation rental is located in that same region which now offers countless opportunities to taste and purchase this same wine! A family with children will be pleased to know this Tuscany villa has a private swimming pool with a diving board, a landscaped garden, and views of the many hilltops and valleys nearby. The decision is yours as to whether or not you’,ll stay in to cook dinner and eat on your terrace or dine out at one of the restaurants in the neighboring Chianti towns of this self-catering Tuscany accommodation. n nThis ancient stone villa in the hills of Chianti is surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and olive groves. There is a large garden with an open-air shower, barbecue, table tennis, and dressing room with a refrigerator and toilet. The private swimming pool [6m x 14m] has a diving board and loungers and is surrounded by grass landscaping. Access to the property is via an unpaved but well-maintained road and covered parking is available within the grounds. n n[250 m2] nGround floor: There is a living/dining room with a couch, armchair, satellite TV, fax machine, and a dining area with a table and chairs. The kitchen is equipped with a cook-top, oven, refrigerator, freezer, and microwave. A laundry room has a washing machine and dryer. Four steps higher is a WC. nFirst floor: There is a second living room with a couch, fireplace, and satellite TV, as well as access to the terrace. The first bedroom has a 160 cm queen-sized bed and en suite bathroom with a sink, toilet, and tub with a handheld shower. The second bedroom has two 90 cm single beds and the second bathroom has a sink, toilet, and shower. nSecond floor: There is one bedroom with two 90 cm single beds and one bathroom with a sink, toilet, and tub with a handheld shower. n nGreve, the unofficial wine capital of Chianti, is located four kilometers from the property. This medieval town is believed to have been settled since before the Etruscans and the Romans dominated the area. Each September, Greve hosts the biggest wine festival in the region but it’,s also famous for its funnel-shaped, arcaded Piazza Mercatale that has a statue of the 16th century explorer, Verrazzano, in the center. Chianti, known for its production of red wine, is full of specialized wine shops, wine tour opportunities, cooking classes, restaurants, museums, and castles. Another charming hilltop town in Chianti is Castellina, which today looks much as it did in the 14th century when it was on the front lines of the wars between Florence and Siena with its city walls still intact. The Rocca fortress is located in the center. Southwest of Greve is San Gimignano, one of the most popular towns of the Chianti... and rightly so! With towers rising above narrow medieval streets, you can wander inside this delightful walled city all day without getting bored. Eat too much gelato, visit a museum, or just sit on the steps of the wishing well and watch the birds soar between the towers high above. In addition to these towns, you’,ll want to organize full day trips to other Tuscan cities such as Florence, Siena, and Arezzo, but before you leave, prepare yourself for a lot of walking and shopping! nArezz 75 km nSiena: 64 km nSan Gimignan 46 km nFlorence: 34 km nCastellina: 18 km nGreve in Chianti: 4 km n nAvailable Amenities: Satellite TV, fax machine, baby bed, oven, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, dryer, barbecue, table tennis, private swimming pool [open beginning of May to end of September], covered parking. nExtra Services: The following are listed as an aid for trip planning, the services and prices are approximate and cannot be guaranteed by Rentvillas.
