Italy
It has been said that for each Italian, there is at least one work of art. Along with a treasure chest of great cities, Italians certainly have an abundance of the best life has to offer. Italy has inspired the giants of music, literature and art, and the passions of Casanova. The gorgeous garden of Italy and the remains of an ancient world are still just as mesmerising.
Follow long avenues of parasol pines and dark cypress over emerald hills; savour the scent of lemon blossom floating among rustling palms; walk on stone-scattered paths carpeted with orchids and cyclamen; drive along cliff-hugging roads dangling above the impossibly blue Mediterranean.
In the land of the sirens, take to the sea to find long golden beaches, tiny forgotten coves, mysterious grottoes, and unforgettable glimpses of Saracen’s towers, belle époque villas and Roman temples; island-hop to Capri, the Aeolian and Egadi Islands, and sail beneath volcanoes spouting into a cloudless sky.
For earthly pleasures, Italy is unbeatable. Fast cars, designer everything, fine wine and that national passion, food. This rural heaven is the wholesome larder for a dazzling variety of delicious food. Do not resist the temptation of rich aromas and dreamy terraces to eat in the sun or under the stars.
‘Discovering Italy’ Tailor-Made Holidays
Italy is a country of such spectacular beauty and contrasts that many visitors want to explore more than just one area.
We offer the possibility of exploring Italy at a realistic and enjoyable pace at any time of the year, although April, May, June, September and October are ideal times for touring.
A ‘Discovery’ holiday offers one, two, three or even more week holidays at your choice of any of our hotels and self-catering properties. This is an ideal way of discovering different areas or any one region in greater depth. We will be pleased to discuss your requirements and recommend suitable itineraries, depending on what you are looking for – from history, art, archaeology, food and wine to nature, flowers and walking.
You can combine Sicily with a trip to Tuscany or Sardinia or other areas in Italy such as Sorrento and Amalfi or the Aeolian Islands or even a twin centre holiday with the stunning islands of Capri and Procida. We also offer city breaks in Venice, Florence and Rome, which you can add to the beginning or end of any holiday.
Alternatively, you may choose to combine a stay in a hotel or a selection of hotels with one week stay in any of our self-catering villas or apartments. We have made some suggestions under ‘Ideas & Itineraries’ under certain properties on our website.
Opera, theatre and concert tickets
Italy hosts some of Europe’s most magical music and theatre productions, such as the Puccini festival in Tuscany, the opera season in the Roman amphitheatre of Verona and the classical plays in the ancient Greek theatres of Siracusa and Taormina in Sicily. We are able to offer packages for these and many other events and see to all your arrangements. Please ask for further details.
