Apulia – Puglia
Apulia, the ‘heel’ of the elegant Italian boot has coasts on two sides with fabulous beaches dipped in sparkling turquoise seas, while the inland plains have treasures from imposing castles to the fairytale trulli of...read more
Basilicata
Italy’s canyon country is sparsely populated, but littered with Greek remains, castles, abbeys, fascinating cities, the Mediterranean’s most perfect example of a troglodyte settlement and some of Italy’s best beaches. ‘Earth as it was intended...read more
Calabria
In the ‘toe’ of Italy’s ‘boot’ where mountains and sea collide, Calabria is remote,rugged and virtually untouched by tourism, with not one but three national parks and a 600 mile coastline lapped by azure seas....read more
Campania
Campania is, with Tuscany, Italy’s tourism mecca, at least in terms of visitor numbers. Campania has everything in abundance: a sun-kissed climate, Classical architecture, bijou islands and Italy’s most dramatic coastline. The legendary names trip...read more
Emilia Romagna
Emilia Romagna is the proverbial land of plenty, arguably the most civilised region in Italy. As a monument to bourgeois bliss, Bologna is the perfect figurehead for the region. You can expect beaches and nature...read more
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Italy’s easternmost region, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is a sliver of coastline across the Adriatic Sea from Venice. The region’s slogan has Lucifer kicking Adam and Eve out of paradise, and Adam saying, ‘Don’t worry, darling, we’re...read more
Lazio

Le Marche

Molise
‘Molise – the new Tuscany’? Not even ‘the new Puglia’ at the wildest stretch of the imagination. It’s more like ‘the old Abruzzo’ but even less developed. The charms of Molise remain a mystery to...read more
Piedmont
Surrounded on three sides by the Alps and sharing borders with France and Italy, Piedmont or Piemonte, takes its name from the Italian ‘foot in the mountains’. But there are also sparkling lakes, lands of...read more
Sardinia
Whether it’s sun, sand and sea, the wild landscapes, or tastes and traditions of the interior, this ‘small continent’ is like a Mediterranean Eden full of seductive charms. The second largest island in the Mediterranean...read more
Sicily
