Venice, dubbed the 'City of Canals,' is an architectural marvel with its intricate network of stunning canals, grand Venetian buildings, ornate bridges, and enchanting gondolas. For romance and a taste of true Venetian architecture, Venice is a must-visit.

Tuscany

Rolling vineyards, exquisite wineries, rustic farmhouses, and charming hill towns make up the beautiful region of Tuscany. History buffs, wine lovers, and fans of natural beauty all find a perfect retreat in this pristine corner of Italy.

Amalfi Coast

For an exquisite beach holiday, head to the dramatic Amalfi Coast. With its steep seaside cliffs, colourful fishing villages, fragrant lemon groves, and azure waters, it's perfect for couples looking for a romantic escape.

Sicily

Brimming with rich history, striking architecture, delicious cuisines, and beautiful landscapes, Sicily is a great destination for families. Here you can explore the Valley of the Temples, hike the imposing Mount Etna or laze on delightful beaches.

Where to Stay

From quiet centuries-old villas amidst vineyards in Tuscany to the hustle and bustle of fashionable Milan, finding the right place to stay in Italy depends on the nature of your holiday. Here are some recommendations on where to stay, tailored to your travel group.

For a family holiday

Families should consider the tranquil countryside of Umbria, offering affordable and spacious accommodations, or the enchanting shores of Lake Garda with its plethora of activities for children.

For a couples holiday

For a romantic getaway, the Amalfi Coast, with its intoxicating beauty and luxury resorts, or the unique city of Venice, with its romantic gondola rides and historic hotels, are both fantastic options.

For a holiday with friends

To experience Italy's vibrant nightlife and fashion scene, a metropolis like Milan or Rome would be ideal. Alternatively, a wine tour in Tuscany provides a memorable experience for a group of friends.

When to Visit

Italy's pleasant Mediterranean climate makes it a year-round destination. However, the ideal time to visit largely depends on your holiday desires. Peak season usually runs from June to August, offering splendid weather ideal for beach holidays and island exploration. For city breaks and countryside tours, spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) provide comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds. If you're travelling on a budget and don't mind the brisk weather, winter in Italy (November to February) can also be enchanting with fewer tourists, quaint Christmas markets, and snowy mountain retreats.
