Siena, home to one of the most famous palios in all of Italy is a superb tourist city to visit during your Italian vacation!

There’s an abundance of things to see and do here; Siena hosts many spectacular festivals and fairs that showcase the city’s cart, culture, history, food and traditions.

Book a superb holiday rental in Siena and enjoy all the sights and sounds this Tuscan city has to offer!

Begin your tour at the historic Piazza del Campo, an oval shaped piazza lined by beautiful historic buildings. Stroll around the ancient Palazzo Pubblico here or the nearby Santa Maria della Scala hospital. This hospital was one of the first hospitals in Europe and lies along the ancient pilgrim path, Via Francigena that runs through Siena on its journey to Rome.

Looking for a sun holiday to Italy with lots to do and see as well? Then come to the spectacular south-western region of Campania! Stay in a scenic villa with swimming pool in Campania close to the coast to experience a truly luxurious vacation to this spectacular country.

It’s hard to decide what to begin with when it comes to exploring Campania but why not start off with a fiery visit to the famous Mount Vesuvius? This now dormant volcano erupted violently in 79AD and buried two neighbouring towns called Pompeii and Herculaneum in a devastating sea of hot ash and stones.

Today visitors can walk through the excavated streets of these almost perfectly preserved towns and imagine what that treacherous night must have been like for its unfortunate victims. If you’re here during the month of October you can experience the mesmerising Pompeii festival. The area is beautifully lit up at night and offers tourists a romantic view of this archaeological site.
