Holiday in Italy with charming accommodation
2.000 handpicked hotels, apartments & villas all over Italy

Italy is a long country - the distance from the Alps to Sicily is more than 1500 kilometres. The Italian climate also spans from the cool mountains in the north to the hot south where winter is a shorter season. Italy was a common destination for the first tourists from the Romantic era, but even before, the country was popular as the pilgrims from northern Europe walked or rode all the way to Rome and they often continued to Brindisi in the region of Apulia in order to reach their final destination: Jerusalem.

Travelling to Italy these days has become much easier: “Self-drivers” often drive all the way from Northern Europe in less than 24 hours in order not to waste any of their precious vacation days.

During the last decade, flying to Italy from the northern European countries has become much easier and much cheaper. There are no longer regions where it is difficult to visit. The days when it took longer to get to Sicily than Thailand are fortunately over! However, trips to the smaller islands can still take as much time as a trip to the far east!

Vacation for families

Families travelling with children can be limited in terms of some activities and options in some countries. However, in Italy children are welcome everywhere, both in the finest restaurants as for theatre performances. If your vacation is all about spending time together and having fun, we recommend that you consider staying in an Agriturismo – a country house with lots of space for the children and typical products like vegetables, olive oil, wine etc. for the parents. You can also choose to focus on sun and sea on the vast Italian coastline which stretches for more than 4630 miles of Italian coastline. If you’re more than two generations who travel together, we can recommend that you rent your own villa, as this will give you a maximum of flexibility when it comes to when to use the pool or when you want to have dinner. If your children are older and you don’t need to travel during the hottest summer months which form the school holidays, then it makes sense to take a look at the possibilities of a vacation in one of Italy’s larger cities where you can enjoy shopping and sightseeing. Staying in Rome, Naples, Venice or Florence can be just as fascinating for the younger members of the family as it is for the adults.

Couples' vacations

If you are travelling with your better half then Italy has much to offer – almost too much! That’s why we recommend that you focus on specific areas instead of driving around trying to see everything, ending up spending most of the time in a car or on a train. The possibility of travelling to the more authentic areas of the country where you can get the feeling that you’re one of the first visitors must be compared with the need for modern amenities including the internet which still not is to be taken for granted in lots of places. We have created some itineraries to inspire you. If you have chosen Italy in order to pamper yourself and if the keyword for your vacation is “romance”, the homeland of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has much to offer – not only concerning lovely places to stay and unforgettable views but also for those who want to spend the evenings exploring some of the innumerable gourmet restaurants or the opera houses not to mention the many wellness centres and spas. A holiday in one of Italy’s charming cities can easily be arranged, but getting there can be a challenge. We have chosen the cities with direct flights from Scandinavia or the ones that you can reach within one hour of public transport from the airport.

Active holidays

If you want to go hiking, biking, skiing, play golf, do rafting or windsurfing then Italy’s geography and climate make it all possible. Some residences and hotels are specialized in this field.
