Choose your villa in Italy or pick one of our Italy apartments. Italy is a beautiful country of magnificent mountains, placid lakes, idyllic islands, art filled cities and tiny medieval hill towns. An ideal climate of hot summers and mild winters coupled with such a variety of landscapes makes Italy a perfect destination for the active holidaymaker, the art lover, the food buff and the fashion fanatic.
The artistic riches of Italy's main cities such as Rome, Florence and Pisa are unrivalled by any other country. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, go skiing in the Alps, and explore the canals of Venice.
Alternatively, the striking natural beauty of the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside can be enjoyed while staying in hilltop villas and touring the little terracotta-clad hamlets in a hire car (or mopeds for the brave).
Italy is a country of diversity, from the bustle and activity of Rome to the peace of Lake Garda. No matter where you travel, however, you will receive a warm welcome from these friendly and hospitable people. The country is rightly proud of its food and wine, and visitors should expect to spend a long time lingering over delicious meals.
