Holidays in Italy

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.
