From our guide to Italy
Jasmine-scented gardens and green lawns reach to Lake Garda's edge: lounge here, drinking in the views, and drop down the ladder to the sparkling water...
Watch sunsets fire the Tuscan hills; catch the sunrise as it brings the valleys alive. Views from this hilltop farmhouse roll off in every direction. It is peaceful here...
Try as we might to conjure up Italy in our singing, our cooking, our coffee-drinking, we just cannot get near the real thing unless we are there. Italy has a particular charm in having only come together as a modern state in 1870, so Italians still see themselves as being from a region, a town or a village before being 'from Italy'. This gives its people an engaging variety and depth of belonging that affects the food, the architecture and the customs. Whichever part of Italy you want to explore, we can provide you with ready-made friends.
