A country where art, history, and la dolce vita collide, Italy is the epitome of effortless luxury. From the rolling vineyards of Tuscany to the cinematic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, this is a place where every detail feels like it was designed for indulgence. Michelin-starred dining, boutique stays in centuries-old palazzos, and sun-drenched days spent sipping limoncello by the sea—holidays to Italy are nothing short of spectacular.
For a classic escape, Rome delivers on grandeur, where ancient ruins sit alongside designer boutiques and aperitivo hours stretch long into the evening. The Amalfi Coast, with its pastel-hued villages and yacht-dotted waters, is made for slow, sun-soaked days, while Tuscany’s countryside offers exclusive villas and vineyard feasts. And for those seeking something beyond the well-trodden path? The Italian Lakes and Puglia’s whitewashed towns bring their own understated elegance.
Whether it’s a private villa with a panoramic terrace, a five-star retreat in the heart of Florence, or a tailor-made itinerary exploring the best of the country, holidays to Italy are designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life
Some hotels feel like a destination in themselves—and then there’s Passalacqua. Perched above Lake Como in the charming village of Moltrasio, this exquisite 18th-century villa has been meticulously reimagined by the family behind the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. With just 24 suites, it feels more like stepping into an aristocratic lakeside retreat than a hotel—where grand interiors, warm hospitality, and a deep sense of place come together effortlessly.
Perched high above Ravello, Caruso, A Belmond Hotel is a dazzling escape that feels like stepping into a living postcard of the Amalfi Coast. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience that blends centuries-old history with the effortless, understated luxury that defines Belmond. Originally a 11th-century palace, the property oozes old-world charm, but it’s the sharp modern touches and impeccable service that really bring it into the 21st century.
