More about holidays in Italy

Italy with its dreamy light and sumptuous landscapes seems made for romance, and its three millennia of history, culture and cuisine seduces just about everyone. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny medieval hill towns, go skiing in the Alps, explore the canals of Venice and gaze at beautiful churches.

Naturally you can also indulge in the pleasures of la dolce vita: good food, good wine. Few countries offer such variety and few visitors leave without a fervent desire to return. The Italians are not joking when they call their home Il Belpaese, the Beautiful Country. Tuscany is one of the regions in Italy that attract the highest number of tourists, this as a result of its excellent position on the peninsula and to the great variety of environmental, scenic, artistic, cultural and historical attractions.

The area is dotted with charming and often old villages, whose intrinsic merits merge with those of the environment.The Tuscany region creates the perfect trail for a tour of discovery. Medieval hilltop towns combined with rolling countryside and enchanting skylines paint an idyllic backdrop. Umbria is another region rich in history and in nature, which offers the Falls of the Marmore,. The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and the Rocca Maggiore.

The moderating influence of the sea and the protection given by the Alpine barrier from the cold north winds join to bless Italy with a temperate climate. In Winter the average hours of sunshine range from 3 to 4 hours to around 10 to 11 hours in the Summer in the South.
