More about Italy
For panoramic coastal scenery, focus upon fashionable Portofino; or head straight for the Amalfi coastline: surrounded by semi-tropical gardens, the hill town of Ravello has breathtaking views of the coast. Lake Garda or Lake Como will reveal all that inspires poets and artists, whilst the cities of Venice, Rome and Florence reveal Italy’s world-famous style, passion and art.
