Welcome to Italy

Italy has it all

In our humble opinion, Italy has it all. With beautiful weather, incredible scenery, historic locations, fantastic art, and sumptuous food, it is one of the world’s best holiday destinations.

The Italian peninsula is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Adriatic Sea and boasts over 4,500 miles of coastline.

Because of this, you will find a great selection of beautiful beaches, charming fishing villages, and coastal towns and cities. You might even like to take in a UNESCO World Heritage Site or two.

There are lots of great beach resorts to enjoy sunbathing, swimming, water sports, boat trips, and diving.

World-famous Landmarks

If you’re on the lookout for a great city break destination, you’ll struggle to find one better than Rome. You can hardly walk down a street in Rome without bumping into a world-famous landmark like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, or Vatican City!

As well as Rome, Milan, Naples, and Florence are also great city break destinations.

You will also be able to enjoy the natural beauty provided by Italian Lakes holidays. Lake Garda is possibly the most famous and typifies the beauty and luxury available on an Italian holiday.

A trip to Sicily is also recommended with the warm weather, wonderful hillside towns and villages, and the scent of lemon hanging in the air!

Why Visit Italy?

Holidays to Italy really do have it all. You will be able to enjoy incredible cultural and historical tours and sites, breathtakingly beautiful scenery, and world-class cuisine on your trip.

City breaks provide an opportunity to shop in designer stores and visit Michelin-star restaurants. You will also be able to take in a football game, something the Italians are very passionate about!

There are too many great experiences to mention. Still, experiences like a gondola trip in Venice, tours of the Vatican, and the natural beauty of Italian Lakes and the Amalfi Coast will help to make a holiday to remember.
