Fairy-Tale Destination, Fairy-Tale Deal for Italian Getaway

It's no one-cent weekend, but this travel package, which includes stays in both Tuscany and Venice, is one of the most reasonable, all-inclusive deals we've seen in a while. We concede that the base price of $799 (airfare included) is slightly unbelievable�and, if you get into the nitty-gritty fine print, it truly is, depending on where you're flying from and when you travel. Yet it's still a solid deal, and there are ways to stay within a bargain basement range if you're willing to be a little flexible (and isn't that the caveat of similar deals, anyway?).

Dooley Vacations' "Tuscany and Taste of Venice" package includes a stay at Hotel Fattoria Degli Usingnoli, "perched high in the hills...surrounded by a fairy-tale country landscape," according to Dooley's description. After four nights in Tuscany, the trip continues with a two-night stay at the Hotel Plaza Mestre. Further highlights of the package are:

Transportation
* Weekly Manual Shift Car Rental
* Roundtrip Airfare on Alitalia to Florence return from Venice
Other Inclusions
* 2 Breakfasts at Hotel Plaza Mestre, Venice

You'll definitely need to be mindful of the dates you choose for your trip. September and October may boast nicer weather, but also higher prices. Nevertheless, it's rare to get most of the planning minutiae taken care of in one fell swoop, which is what makes it worthwhile.
