Tuscany
From Life is Beautiful to Under the Tuscan Sun, Tuscany’s charms have proved infinitely worthy of the big screen, its undulating landscapes, old town squares and Renaissance grandeur the stuff of cinematic masterpieces. And yet, it’s also a place of simple pleasures – good food enjoyed leisurely with that famous Chianti red.
Umbria
The former home of St Francis of Assisi, Umbria’s expanses of largely uninhabited countryside are threaded with walking trails and pilgrimage routes. A visit to the ‘green heart’ is also an invitation to discover a host of art and architectural treasures, including vibrant Perugia’s national gallery and Orvieto’s magnificent duomo.
Puglia
There’s a different side of Italy to discover on a holiday in Puglia – the land of the trulli, ancient olive groves and historic towns that take you on a journey from Byzantine to Baroque. And then there are the countless beaches and beach clubs that capture the diversity of this absorbing destination: unspoilt, unpretentious and full of creative flair, where the generosity of the locals is matched by the excellence of its cuisine.
