ITALY BESPOKE HOLIDAYS

A FEAST FOR THE SOUL

From the ancient splendours of Rome to the hidden coves of the Amalfi Coast, Italy is a world of endless treasures. If you are looking for a whirlwind city break, a luxury beach escape, a romantic honeymoon or a journey back in time through the legacy of empires and world-famous artists, Italy has it all.

With ancient monuments, world-class galleries and lively piazzas, Southern Italy invites you to stroll through cobbled streets and hear the whispers of history at every turn. In Rome, you will see the famous Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and Michelangelo’s awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel. As you travel further south, you will find the wondrous city of Naples, home to Italy’s best pizza as well as an array of stylish boutiques, a thriving arts scene and many grandiose sites.

As you wander along Italy’s southern coastline, you will be welcomed by the pebbled shores, rugged cliffs, and fragrant citrus and olive groves of the Amalfi Coast. One of Italy’s most iconic and enchanting destinations, this coastal gem offers a holiday filled with charming cliffside towns, steep terraced hillsides, and the ancient wonders of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Greek Temples of Paestum.

Northern Italy is home to some of the country’s most popular and unforgettable destinations. On your luxury holiday, meander through the romantic waterways of Venice, the ‘City of Water’, aboard a gondola, enjoy the terraced vineyards, olive groves and fairytale castles of Tuscany, or immerse yourself in the style and culture of Milan, where you can visit the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent to witness Da Vinci’s masterpiece, ‘The Last Supper’, and enjoy one of the world’s major fashion capitals.

For those eager to explore Coastal Italy, the idyllic islands of Sardinia and Sicily offer beautiful beaches, sparkling emerald waters and an abundance of deliciously fresh seafood. Rich in history, these islands reveal ancient treasures amid their mountainous landscapes, from mysterious Bronze Age ruins to extraordinary Greek temples.

Whether you are travelling as a family, with friends, as a solo traveller or thinking of a romantic honeymoon, speak to our Europe travel specialists and they will start planning your luxury Italy holidays in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”
It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.
