Italy is a ravishing beauty, and the very mention of Florence & Venice (at random) conjures up the splendour of the country's glorious past. No need to be a connoisseur to marvel at Rome's antique architectural treasures or the sumptuous frescos in the Sistine Chapel. Sicily & Sardinia, the most well known islands of the peninsula, will tempt you through a whirl of images, colours and sounds. Italy is a real feast for the senses through the warm welcome of its people inviting you to partake with specialities drenched in sunshine & olive oil and served with fine legendary wines.
Tall mountains, vast lakes, small wild creeks and green meadows make for a heaven answering every traveller's prayer. Whether your dream is to bathe in the shade of a flowering orange tree or ski down the snow covered slopes of Abruzze National Park : Italy is expecting you.
A word of advice from Lagrange : Don't miss the bargains in and around Vintimiglia's market (in the Gulf of Genoa).
