Italy Holiday: Highlights
1 Find Amore in Amalfi
The ultimate romantic getaway, the glamorous Amalfi Coast is a spectacular cornice that winds its way past lemon trees, olive groves, vineyards and tiny villages, all clinging on for dear life to the jagged cliffs that plunge straight into the sea below.

2 Take in Tuscany
The postcards don’t do it justice, Tuscany absolutely lives up to all of the cliches – sun baked villages, old mamas dressed in black and clapped out farm vehicles chugging along to tend the fields. A soft, sumptuous landscape filled with sunflower yellow, olive green and the ubiquitous cypress trees. And away from the tourists, you can unearth hidden Tuscany – just you, rolling fields and the odd masterpiece or two.

3 Climb the towers of San Gimignano
Perched on top of the Tuscan hills, the towers of San Gimignano stand out from the crowd. This perfectly preserved medieval town has retained its feudal atmosphere and film-set appearance. Wander through archways and alleys as you make your way to the top of the town. Relax on the ancient ramparts, let your calf muscles recover from the cobblestones and soak up the Tuscan vista.

4 Traverse the Dolomite’s Via Ferrata
In the heart of the Dolomite Mountains, spectacular mountain routes are linked together by a series of fixed cables, ladders and bridges. Known as ‘Via Ferrata’ - iron ways - these routes open up what was once the sole domain of rock climbers. Originally developed to asist troop movements during the first world war, Via Ferrata are fixed-protection climbing paths. Ranging from simple to technically difficult, they give sure-footed walkers the opportunity to move through spectacular and sometimes extremely exposed mountain scenery on walking and trekking holidays, safe in the knowledge that you’re firmly attached to the rock face.
