OVERVIEW

Italy is a land celebrated for the arts, and  one the arts that have attained their highest expression in Italy is the art of hospitality. The Italian welcome is as warm and traditional as a glass of fine wine. This comparison is apt, for travelers in ancient times gave the country its first name: Land of Wines. Italians are such good hosts because they get so much practice welcoming visitors from all over the world. 

Italy is one of the most popular vacation countries in Europe because all the seasons offer visitors something to see. In summer, Italy is an international playground, with visitors from all continents mingling with vacationing Italians at the famous resorts. Spring comes early to Italy and autumn lingers - and so will the wise traveler who wants to enjoy at a more leisurely pace the art centres, the large cities and  holiday resorts such as those in the Lombardian lake region where spring and fall are ideal seasons. 

In winter, the Italian Alps are unequaled for scenery and skiing. Northern Italy hosts some of the world's most renowned winter sports resorts, easily reached from such centers as Torino, chief city of the westernmost Piemonte region; from Milano, hub of the central mountain and lake district; and from Venezia, leading city of the eastern region. Skiing is also a summer sport in the Torino Alps and the magnificent mountains surrounding the Valle d’Aosta. 

From the sunny southern slopes of the Alps to the lush orange groves of Sicilia, Italy offers enormous variety in its natural scenery and historical backgrounds. Because a good part of Italy grew up as a collection of independent city-states, customs and food vary greatly from region to region. This rich history is preserved in the colourful folklore festivals that take place in all of Italy's regions throughout the year. 

For Most of the year the beaches are sunny, with 5,310 miles of shoreline bordering Italy and its islands. You can usually find waters where the temperature is perfect for swimming.  History is always in season: choose any time of year to tour historic buildings and view the world's greatest art treasures, for this is a land that has been writing and preserving its history for over three thousand years. 

Situated in Mediterranean Europe, Italy has land frontiers with France in the north-west, Switzerland and Austria in the north and Slovenia in the north-east. The peninsula is surrounded by the Ligurian Sea, the Sardinian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the west, the Sicilian Sea and the Ionian Sea in the south and the Adriatic Sea in the east. Italian is the language of the majority of the population but there are minorities speaking German, French, Slovene and Ladino. Sixty-seven percent of the population live in cities. 

ITALIAN FOOD

The word that comes to mind is "fresh" - everything is as if you just picked it from the garden. Depending on the region you may be treated to fantastic bread and wines (Tuscany), cheeses (Parma), desserts such as Tiramisu (Venice) or seafood (the coasts). Homemade pastas and special meat dishes are cooked throughout the country. All food is served with care and attention to detail - no feat is too big or small when it comes to Italian cookery. Note that dining out can be a more formal affair - we recommend that gentlemen pack a jacket and tie in order to offer wide  dining flexibility.

Best suited for:
Couples who enjoy romance, history, and exploring a multitude of places. Lovers of amazing food and wine. Those seeking to relax in a country where relaxation is taken to an art form! People who love being outdoors and being active.

When to go:
April through September are the best months from a weather perspective. High tourist season runs May through September, however in places like Florence and Venice, things are more quiet as many people head to the coast or the countryside. August is the single busiest month of the year - if you want to be on the coast at that time book 6 months in advance.

Accommodations:
There is no limit to the diversity in accommodations here - grand hotels in the big cities, intimate farm-based hideaways in the countryside, 15th century palazzos turned into luxury boutique hotels, romantic cliff-side retreats with incredible views, true beach resorts on the islands and chic design hotels in major metropolitan areas.

Special Activities:
Touring the many amazing historical sights, Venice (there is nothing like it in the world), horseback riding in the countryside, hiking in the Dolomite mountains, driving around Lake Como, boating in Sardinia, shopping in Florence, relaxing cliffside in Portofino or Positano, wine touring in Tuscany or Veneto (or many other places). Cooking classes around the country. Eating - everywhere!
