Campania and the city of Naples, in particular, is an area of Italy where many of the country’s beloved dishes and specialities come from. Among these, there is a hearty, tasty, and unforgettable pasta dish that any seasoned foodie who books a villa in Campania should make a point to seek out and try during their culinary adventures while on holiday in the area. This the regional ragù of Naples, the Neapolitan ragù or ragù alla napoletana/ragù napoletano.

Along with the variety from Bologna, this is one of the two most famous ragù meat sauces in Italy and for good reason... Made of meat and tomato sauce and seasoned to perfection, this wholesome and comforting dish is just what pasta-lovers on vacation in Italy are looking for!

While Tuscany remains our first love and the region in which we have the widest range of vacation rentals to choose from, there are some other destinations where we have both a great variety of villas in Italy, particularly charming examples, and that also have a special place in our hearts. In particular, Apulia is increasingly on our minds. Not only is this where we have some of our most amazing luxury villas in Italy but it is also an incredible holiday destination that more and more customers are discovering and falling for.

Though not some unknown gem and certainly a popular holiday spot, Apulia has been historically less well-known among international tourists in Italy.
