If you have been dreaming of a vacation in Italy and you really want to cover as much ground as possible and tick as many things as you can off your bucket list, then you might be wondering about how best to fit it all in. We usually suggest picking one destination, finding a dream villa in Italy to suit you, and really soaking up your surroundings but, for many, they might only get to Italy once in a lifetime. If this is the case then, of course, you will want to make the most of it. Here’s how we think you should plan a perfect itinerary and holiday in Italy. 

If you have been dreaming of an unforgettable group getaway on the Amalfi Coast then we have a truly magical villa, directly overlooking the stunning and iconic town of Positano, that sleeps up to 24 guests and has just two weeks available left to book for this year – the 10th to the 17th of May 2025 and the 7th to the 14th of June 2025. Villa Positano is absolutely a luxury villa to the nth degree, is full of charm and style, boasts every bell and whistle that you could ask for, and offers the opportunity to live alongside vistas of Italy that are beyond breath-taking. If you want to do that once-in-a-lifetime trip or that special celebration in serious style and make memories that will last a lifetime, this is the spot.

One of the best parts of adjusting to the Italian lifestyle on a nice, lazy, relaxing holiday in Italy, is adopting the dining practices of this famous foodie destination. From multiple courses with most meals, to dining over the course of hours and chatting late into the evening with pals, to wine with lunch – there are many elements that are not uncommon (though not necessarily daily for everyone all the time) practices and make for an ideal basis for a vacation full of rest and relaxation. Another of our favourite foodie traditions from Italy that we think everyone should adopt where possible? Going for an aperitivo before your meal, sitting out in a sunny piazza, catching up with your companions and people-watching, and enjoying a spritz and some snacks. Certainly, if you’ve been dashing about to see and do as much as you can on holiday in Florence or on vacation in Rome or in any other Italian destination, it’s the ideal way to unwind, rest your feet, and begin rehydrating before your big evening meal.

The question, then, is what spritz you should go for because, while the Aperol Spritz is the most famous option, there are other ways to go. Here are our favourite Italian tipples for a perfect aperitivo moment on vacation in Italy...

Where Is The Best Place In Italy To Rent A Villa?

This is a tricky question because there are so many good answers but there are also answers that will be specific to you and your needs and tastes! So, to help you find the right villa in Italy in the right destination, we have some important questions to pose.

The mysterious and beloved Italian pseudonymous writer Elena Ferrante’s releases are met with wild fervour and excitement but she remains best-known for her four Neapolitan Novels, starting off with My Brilliant Friend (L’amica geniale), which was adapted into a highly successful television series with four seasons following the plots of each of the novels. While we know very little about the real person behind Ferrante, we do know that she herself is a Naples native and was raised there by a seamstress mother alongside her four sisters. Naples, of course, has much to see and do and discover but for massive Ferrante fans it is somewhat of a pilgrimage site. Book one of our vacation rentals in Campania today and you can come see the city that made Ferrante and that features so prominently in her work.
