Mainland Italy: Italy is a wonderful enigma, from the northern snow-capped peaks of the Dolomites, to the sun-kissed shores of the Amalfi Coast. Whatever you choose to stay you are bound to be treated to sublime cuisine and sensational scenery.

Italian Islands: These island gems are probably Italy's best-kept secret and each, distinctly, is its own individual world. Of the 700 official Italian Islands only 30 or so are inhabited. The most well known of these are beautiful Sardinia, with its perfect beaches, dramatic rolling hills and friendly people, exotic and famously glamorous Capri, and gloriously diverse Sicily, with its remarkable history, natural beauty and style.
