Italy

Soul-stirring cities, world famous art, waist-expanding food and wine – holidays to Italy will captivate you from the word go. The only difficulty you've got is deciding which slice of this gorgeous country to plump for.

Will you take the scenic drive along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, and discover Italian gems like Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento? Hike through the breathtaking Tuscany countryside en route to Pisa or Florence? Or maybe give the cities a miss and make for the golden sands gilding the Tuscany Coast?

Of course, the choices don't end there when it comes to holidays in Italy. We can whisk you off to Venice for a romantic gondola ride through its shimmering canals. Or drop you off at the dreamy beaches belonging to the Venetian Riviera. You might want to base your holiday around one of the greatest cities on earth – Rome, where the Vatican, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain are waiting to wow you. Or you could go for the opposite – a chill-out holiday on the beach-rich isles of Sicily and Sardinia. Bliss.

If you've been there and done all that, perhaps you're ready to discover a more unspoilt side of Italy. If that's the case, take a look at remote and rugged Calabria or Puglia, a hidden region almost unknown to tourists.
