Regions of Italy

Tuscany & Hill Towns

Tuscany is a vibrant, lush and alluring region. From all-time favorite, San Gimignano and Cortona, to lesser known gems like Massa Marittima, Pitigliano and Anghiari, each one has its own distinctive atmosphere.

Amalfi Coast

From the characteristic terraces, the strong scents of the lemon groves, the vineyards, the broom and the vibrant colors of bougainvillea combine with the salt air to delight the senses.

Cinque Terre

Cinque Terre means Five Lands (in Italian), and this popular area offers five miles of rocky coast with five small villages (born in the 11th Century as fortresses) overlooking the sea, in the midst of two capes with hundreds of miles of beautiful paths.

Emilia Romagna

The region of Emilia Romagna is gorgeous and varied. A landscape that spreads between the Po River Valley, along the Reno and the Panaro Rivers, and the Appennino chain of mountains that forms Italy`s backbone.

Umbria & Hilltowns

Umbria, the only Italian Region having neither a coastline or a border with other countries, is characterized by hills and historical towns such as Assisi (a World Heritage Site associated with St. Francis of Assisi), Norcia (the hometown of St. Benedict), Gubbio, Spoleto, Todi, Città di Castello, Orvieto, Castiglione del Lago, Narni, Amelia, and other small cities.

Italian Riviera

The Italian Riviera is a spectacular coastline on the Ligurian Sea extending from the Italian-French border to Capo Corvo, near La Spezia and offering luxuriant mountains to the north and east, and the sapphire blue Mediterranean to the south and west with medieval hilltop hamlets, panoramic vistas, vibrant seaside villages and unspoiled beaches.

Sicily

One of the pearls of Southern Italy, Sicily is the largest of the Italian islands, just off the "toe" of Italy's "boot." Sicily is rich in UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the archeological area of Agrigento, the famous Valley of the Temples, and Syracuse with the Necropolis of Pantalica.

Italian Seaside Resorts
Sunny days spent on lounge chairs, swimming in beautiful azure waters, and indulging in gelato – this description could define any Italian Seaside Resort. Italy is surrounded by water on the 3 sides and is home to one of the biggest islands in the Mediterranean sea, Sicily.

Italian Cuisine
There’s no greater expression of a culture than the food people eat. It defines a culture, and in Italy, food is life...and food is love. Regional, seasonal and as fresh as possible, Italy’s cuisine is hearty, satisfying and made with heart.

WHY VENICE?

With its historic buildings and gorgeous canals, Venice is one of Italy`s most famous attractions. This floating city consists of a group of 117 small islands separated by a network of canals and linked by a series of bridges. Spend your days strolling the canals admiring the city`s beautiful squares and buildings, visiting the world-class museums and incredible churches, all while indulging on delectable Venetian cuisine. The central square, the Piazza San Marco, contains Saint Marks Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower keep offering views of the citys red roofs. About halfway along the Grand Canal is the famous Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge).
