Whichever region you choose for your non-group,self-guided Italian walking holiday, we provide our meticulously compiled route notes, maps and luggage transfers, so that you can walk from one invitinghotel to the next at a pace that suits you.
For a holiday that’s about more than walking, Tuscany is an obvious choice, offering an enticing blend of history, Renaissance art, food and wine. You’re not part of a group, meaning your time away is completely yours, so take time out to revel in the views and amble around hill-top towns – ours are Slow holidays, after all. You can trust us to transfer your luggage, to choose accommodation of character and to provide precise route notes to guide you to it, so relax and enjoy…
Our selection of Italian walking holidays not only includes routes in Tuscany, the Lakes, Sicily, Sardinia, southern Italy, Liguria and the Italian Alps, but also in Piedmont, a corner of northern Italy whose wines are well known but whose medieval villages remain off the tourist map; the Apennines, the chain of mountains forming Italy’s spine; and Umbria, a region sometimes referred to as ‘Italy’s green heart’ which is dotted with Romanesque churches and abbeys.

What to expect from your Italian walking holiday
There are three elements which constitute the cornerstones of all Inntravel holidays, including our Italian walking holidays: enchanting landscapes; charming accommodation hand-picked for its friendly welcome; and delectable local cuisine.
Informative route notes
With an Inntravel route guide in your pocket you can be assured of choosing the right path and not missing the interesting sights along the way. Providing clear, current and comprehensive information, our route notes allow you to set your own walking pace, explore the unique features of the region, and take in local culture at your leisure.
Holidays tailored for you
Because you explore independently on an Inntravel holiday, you can personalise the arrangements. Pick a holiday, then decide when to start, how long to stay (you can add extra nights) and how to get there. Then we take care of the details – from train, ferry or flight bookings to hotel and taxi reservations.
Friendly experts
We’ve built up a wealth of experience since we started in 1984. Whether you’ve got a query or wish to book a holiday, you’ll deal with friendly experts who share a passion for travel and who have stayed in our featured hotels and walked our routes. They’ll be delighted to answer your questions and help you plan your perfect holiday.
