Italy reveals itself through its everyday rituals. Morning espresso taken standing at the bar, church bells carrying across a piazza, Vespas weaving through narrow streets. In Venice, locals pause for cicchetti and a glass of wine at places like All’Arco before crossing the Rialto Bridge as evening light settles over the lagoon. In Tuscany, vineyards and olive groves shape the countryside between Renaissance cities, while further south, lemon terraces descend towards the sea along the Amalfi Coast. Italy’s islands and shores — from Puglia’s Adriatic villages to Sicily and Sardinia — bring a slower rhythm of long lunches, small harbours and warm Mediterranean evenings.
Our Italy journeys are designed to move with the right balance of authenticity and ease. We know which lakes offer a quieter, more exclusive escape, the best moments to explore Italy’s great cities, and the tables where regional cooking remains at its most authentic. Along the way, experiences bring each place to life — an Ape Calessino ride through the white towns of Puglia, evenings moving between cicchetti bars in Venice, or stepping inside one of the city’s lesser-known scuole where art and history unfold quietly away from the crowds. For families, the rhythm matters too — combining cultural exploration with time by the sea, so days of discovery give way naturally to afternoons along the coast.
Speak with our Travel Designers to shape a luxury holiday to Italy around the places and experiences that interest you most, with carefully chosen hotels, private guiding and thoughtful planning throughout.
