Why Italy?

Touch down and say ‘Ciao, bella!’ to holidays in Italy. Your trip to this picturesque, beautiful place will give you a million opportunities to bathe at the beach, load up on ultra-delicious carbs, and take in impressive ancient Roman ruins. Rich language, rich gelato, and rich experiences are waiting for you in Italy, no matter where you choose to visit.

Why not spend a day exploring the culturally fascinating capital of Rome, either on foot at a leisurely pace or by buzzing around on that classic Italian vehicle – the Vespa? Finish your time in Rome in a stylish bar, sipping a Campari, embracing the excitement of a city that (almost) never sleeps. (Italians do love a riposo, after all...)

Or, if you’re searching for a more peaceful and rural Italian experience, why not try Sardinia? Pack a towel, plenty of sunscreen, and a good book, and you’ll be set for a day spent sunning on the gloriously white beaches of Sardinia and exploring the expansive turquoise waters that surround the Mediterranean island.

From golden sands to amphitheatres and bath-temp seas to active volcanoes, Italy holidays can be as exciting and thrill-seeking as you want them to be. But if you just wanna get to know a sun lounger really, really well? Italy has you more than covered.
