Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo . Don't miss fresh fritto misto at Marina Grande, the town's old fishing harbour, or Michelin-starred Il Buco in the cellars of an old monastery, where chef Peppe Aversa serves seasonal ingredients under a stone-hewn, vaulted ceiling.

A developer is planning a 54-story residential tower in downtown Tampa that would, if built, be the tallest skyscraper on Florida's west coast.
Kolter Urban, a subsidiary of Delray Beach's Kolter Group, filed plans Monday to build the 311-unit One Tampa at 507 N Ashley Drive, just southeast of Curtis Hixon Park. The building would encompass the entire block bordered by Ashley Drive and Twiggs, Tampa and Madison streets.
At 633 feet, the building would be taller than any Florida tower outside Miami-Dade County, and by far the tallest on the Gulf Coast. Tampa's current tallest tower is 100 North Tampa, which stands 42 floors and 579 feet.

The plans describe a 1.27 million-square-foot tower with 5,000 feet of ground-level residential and retail space and 583 parking spaces. The 12th floor would include a pool, indoor-outdoor lounge area and other recreational facilities, such as a gym, movie room and golf simulator. The 13th floor would include business facilities and a yoga studio.
Residences would range in size from 1,084 square feet for a 1-bedroom, 2-bath unit to 3,946 square feet for a 3-bedroom, 3-1/2-bathroom penthouse.
It's the second time in three years a developer has outlined plans for a luxury residential tower at that site.
In 2019, developers including Sarasota's Ascentia Development Group proposed a 34-story, 86-unit tower dubbed Arris Tampa at the same location. The developers, whose portfolio includes the Virage Bayshore in Tampa, assigned their contract to develop the property over to Kolter last year, said Ascentia president Jay Tallman.

It's also not the first time a developer has tried to build the Gulf Coast's tallest skyscraper in Tampa.
In 2018, developers unveiled plans for Riverwalk Place, which at the time was supposed to be more than 50 stories high. Two years later, the development team splintered and plans were downscaled to a more manageable 37 stories, including a hotel. Last fall, the project was rebranded the Pendry Hotel and Resorts, with 220 hotel rooms and 207 residences.
In 2005, Donald Trump, then at the height of his Apprentice fame, lent his name to what would've been a 593-foot, 52-story tower on the same site. Trump pulled out of that project in 2007.
Kolter is the developer behind ONE St. Petersburg, the 41-story residential tower that is that city's tallest. The company has a handful of other Tampa Bay projects in development, including the 25-story Hyde Park House in Tampa and 35-story Saltaire and 42-store Art House in St. Petersburg.

Last month, a group of ONE St. Petersburg homeowners sued Kolter and builder Kast Construction over what it called "negligent and defective" designs and construction, outlining nearly 100 mechanical, plumbing, electrical, roofing and structural problems.
Calls and emails to Kolter were not immediately returned Tuesday afternoon.
Everything you need to know to have the best woodsy getaway in 2021. This camping cottage, as it's classified, can be found at French Creek State Park, just an hour outside Philadelphia. It's one example of cabins in Pennsylvania state parks. (Photo courtesy of Pennsylvania State Parks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) With the warm weather upon us, you've probably been looking at your calendar, hoping to plan a getaway. I have a suggestion: Stay in one of many cabins in Pennsylvania. As my family has discovered over the past decade, the Pennsylvania state park system offers affordable cabin and yurt options that are comfortable, nostalgic and wonderfully woodsy.

And with high elevations, swimming lakes and waterfall hikes, there are plenty of options for cooling off. Here, a guide to how to do it best. PLANNING YOUR TRIP Where are these state parks?

Susan Law Cain/Shutterstock With their gable roofs and symmetrical windows, colonial houses can make quite a statement. Classic, elegant, and charming, they've become embedded in the white picket fence, American dream imagery. According to Wentworth Studio, the colonial revival began in the 1880s and lasted until around 1945. The simplicity of these homes makes them the perfect candidate for additions, alterations, and renovation. American colonial homes tend to have a symmetrical floor plan, with the front door right in the middle of the front exterior and usually flanked by large columns and tall windows. They are impressive buildings, and flippers and renovators enjoy bringing these houses up to a modern standard. Sometimes it's a s...
American firms NAC Architecture and Bernards have used shipping containers to form private apartments in a Los Angeles facility for people experiencing homelessness. The Hilda L Solis Care First Village – formerly known as the Vignes Street Interim Housing Project – is located on a 4.2-acre (1.7-hectare) site in Downtown Los Angeles. The complex is named after Hilda L Solis, who chairs the LA County Board of Supervisors.

The complex comprises three-storey buildings created by stacking shipping containers In 2019, plans shi...
