Italy

Italy is a country brimming with fine food, culture, romance and inspirational scenery, making it a true kaleidoscope of pleasures where each city and region offers a distinctly different experience.

Explore the rolling Tuscan hillsides covered with olive groves, vineyards and farmhouses, visiting its wonderful ancient walled Etruscan towns of Siena, Castellina in Chianti and San Gimignano. Take in the spectacular coastline of Amalfi, with its picturesque towns and villages clinging to the cliffside with breathtaking views of the sea. Occupying an equally impressive stretch of coastline is the region of Liguria, best known as the Italian Riviera boasting yacht dotted harbour villages, such as Portofino, nestling within rocky coves. Immerse yourself in the elegant tranquility of the northern lakes or the sun-drenched beaches of Sardinia. Be blown away by the magnificence of Rome, once the centre of a vast empire and host to a veritable feast of historical and cultural treasures. Fashionistas will revel in the designer boutiques of cosmopolitan Milan, romantics will be seduced by the canals and palaces of Venice, whilst art lovers will be captivated by Florence with its wealth of exquisite works from Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Botticelli, and Raphael. Wherever your holiday to Italy takes you, it will certainly be bursting with delicious food, excellent wines and warm friendly people.
