Holidays in Italy

Italy exhibits culture and history from top to toe – and she’s a rare natural beauty, too. The country’s empurpled Tuscan hills, fascinating ancient cities, glistening Italian lakes and spellbinding coastlines have enticed visitors for centuries, continuing to do so today.

Those seeking peace and relaxation should head to the verdant region of Umbria – a picture of rolling hillsides, vineyard estates and traditional Medieval towns. Otherwise, you can soak up the sun on a secluded beach in Sardinia, or discover the legendary allure of the Amalfi Coast, where the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea fringe vertical clifftop villages with fragrant lemon groves. Pristine beach coves meet whitewashed hill towns in southern Puglia, one of Italy’s most forgotten destinations, while the island of Sicily continues to seduce travellers with its dramatic landscapes and abundant cultural treasures. Simply book flights to Italy to discover it all.

Echoes from the past are everywhere in Italy. Don’t miss the Colosseum in Rome, the Renaissance masterpieces of Florence and Venice’s intricate network of romantic canals – or follow Leonardo da Vinci to Milan, Italy’s metropolitan hub of fashion and design. Italian cities can become flooded by descending tourists keen to see it all – but you can easily head out of the city to breathe in the fresh air around the Italian Lakes. And whilst everyone wants to photograph one very famous leaning tower, there are plenty of quieter hinterlands to explore, too, whether you aim to ski in the Alps or sip Chianti on a Tuscan terrace.

Italy holiday FAQs

Where are the best places to visit during Italy holidays?

Although you can easily embark on a Rome city break, the city is so full of historic attractions that you can enjoy longer Rome holidays, too. Milan holidays and Florence holidays are perfect for culture vultures, while Venice holidays tend to attract lovebirds. The rugged Amalfi coast and pristine beaches of Sardinia provide a nice natural respite from the hustle and bustle of Italy's busy cities.

Where are the best places to go in Italy?

Nature lovers can look forward to ski holidays in Italy and consuming gelato during lovely beach holidays on the Italian Riviera. (Don't worry, you can enjoy gelato during city breaks in Italy, too.) Top-notch Rome attractions include the Pantheon and Colosseum, but the many museums and art galleries are also worthwhile places to visit in Rome. Many keep fashionistas flock to Milan to shop, and the city's Teatro Alla Scala boasts world-renowned live entertainment. Meanwhile, fun things to do in Venice include riding a gondola and touring the small neighbouring islands of Murano and Burano.

Which type of Italy holiday will suit me?

There's no shortage of package holidays to Italy, but not every holiday type will suit you. You can often find cheap holidays to Italy by searching for short breaks to Rome and other cities. Another way to manage your beach trip budget is to book all-inclusive holidays in Italy, in destinations like Sardinia. Family Italy holidays are well spent in countryside villas in tranquil Tuscany or overlooking the sea in Sicily.

Italy’s beaches come in some fantastic settings, from the sun-ripened shores of Sicily to lovely Puglia, on Italy’s sandy heel. The beachside town of Viareggio in Tuscany has some lovely fish restaurants, Belle Epoque villas and luxury hotels.

Italy’s art is priceless, but holidays there don’t have to be. Pick one of our cheap holidays – and save money when you book a package holiday. Head to Rome, where the popular Dei Mellini offers well-priced rooms – plus a complimentary breakfast which will fill you up before a tour of the sights. The Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and the park at Villa Borghese are all free to visit.

A Riva parked on the shore of Lake Como, seats for Verona’s opera season in hand, tickets to Milan’s fashion week: there are many ways to enjoy luxury holidays in Italy. Why not start in Venice? The canal city is filled to the gills with luxury waterside hotels. Stay at Belmond Hotel Cipriani on Giudecca island and enjoy its Olympic swimming pool, and the unique, romantic views over the lagoon.

Treat your bambinos to a warm welcome in Italy. They’ll love the food (pasta and pizza for days!) and the history (gladiators and battles!), plus there are plenty of family-friendly hotels. Older children better be on their best behaviour at the immaculate five-star Villa Cora in Florence, but there’s plenty of space in the rooms for  family holidays, and staff make everyone feel welcome.
