'Not a tour operator but a rather good holiday portal for visitors to Italy with a well-selected range of advertisers, accommodation, activity holidays and more.' - Lycos UK

The International Herald Tribune described us as 'the best site for rentals, maps, accommodations and events' ... and who are we to argue?

Savvytraveller.com listed us as the 'Savvy Resource for Tuscany'.

The prestigious salon.com link to us in a feature on Tuscany ... 'Another site worth checking is KnowItal.com'.

In their story regarding the local reaction to the British Prime Minister Tony Blair and has family holidaying in Tuscany, the BBC listed our site under their 'Internet link' section. Us and the Italian Communist Party. Fame at last.

Not to be outdone, the British Times newspaper does the same as the BBC (above) and links to us in their story on the Blair family holiday.

'Featured on Lycos'
Definitive Tuscany - The definitive site for Tuscany.

The Know-It-All (sic) site has lyrical text, great information and plenty of enthusiasm. Start with the Tuscan villas and work backwards to other regions and opportunities for travel.

(When we were very, very young.)
Yes, we've been around for a long time, as this review from (the now defunct Infoseek) shows:

'Very Good' - Travel information for Tuscany, Pisa, Lucca and Viareggio.

Under 'Site Recommendations'
'The definitive site for Tuscany.'

Taken from a feature on the fifty absolute must-see places on the planet:

'Get the basics on day-to-day life in Tuscany.'

Yes, we'd love to get our Yahoo! review updated, but for now we're stuck with:

'Comprehensive city guides to Tuscan cities, including Lucca, Viareggio, Pisa and Florence. With restaurants, lodging, maps, events and more.'

Tuscany. Thanks to author Frances Mayes ("Under the Tuscan Sun," "Bella Tuscany"), this region of Italy is more popular than ever. Knowital is a great place to start. The site includes information about the region and its most popular cities.

And, speaking of which, this is from the web site of the publishers:

'Links to sites of further interest.' ... Travel and tourism information about Tuscany.

Definitive Tuscany - The definitive site for Tuscany.

'Whether you want to rent a private villa or to stay on a wine estate or if you are looking for a hotel, or maybe a good local restaurant in Tuscany, knowital.com is the place to start.'

'The definitive site for those people lucky enough to be heading for Tuscany. Information contained here includes attractions, accomodation, shopping, restaurants and much more.'

'Packed with information ... The accommodations advice and listings are the site's strength ... accompanied by enticing photos and extensive descriptions ... browsing the listings is so pleasant ...'

Hotels, villa and vacation rentals, photographs and descriptions, searchable database, maps and local information.

From Oxford Dictionaries:

'Knowital Tuscan Travel Guide'

'Know Tuscany. Tourist information for Tuscany. Hotels and vacation rental listings (listings by owner). Also some Umbria information.'

The Slowtrav site is, incidentally, an excellent (and non commercial/unbiased) resource for anyone planning a trip to Italy. Visit it here.
