The regions of Italy are astonishingly varied, each with its distinctive culture and gastronomy. Throughout the country, you meet friendly and open people, particularly in areas such as the Apennines, and the Madonie Mountains in
Sicily, where foreign visitors are still rare. The scenery, too, ranges from the majestic Dolomites, surely the most beautiful of all the mountains in the
Alps, to the dramatic fusion of mountain and sea on the Ligurian and Amalfi Coasts, and from the rolling, vine-clad hills of Piedmont to the glittering waters of
lakes such as Garda, Maggiore, Iseo and Orta, set like jewels amid green landscapes. Wherever you go, history and great art are always close, from Greek ruins in Basilicata in the
south, to the Baroque towns of Puglia or the ancient ‘route of the gods’ across
Tuscany.
Just as inviting as the landscapes themselves are the ways in which you can enjoy them: as well as offering walking, cycling, skiing and family activity holidays, we also offer short breaks, journeys and self-catering properties for more leisurely exploration of this captivating land.
