We have recently highlighted just why Naples has been named one of Italy’s hottest holiday destinations for 2022 and dealt with some of the potential misconceptions about the city that some people might have in our last article. However, suffice it to say, if you are in search of a location with character to spare, incredible attractions, delicious food, stunning surroundings, and somewhere that is a true authentic gem that has remained largely untouched by mass tourism, then Naples is the place for you! And, among our range of properties in and around the city, we have some particularly lovely examples to choose from.

Travel Tips
Many people have certain preconceived ideas of Naples and, as a result, choose to pass it up when they plan a vacation in Campania. However, if you come prepared and if you prefer destinations that are not in the least touristy, then a holiday rental in Naples or a day-trip to the town while spending time in a villa in Campania is just the thing. With a long and rich history, a wonderful cultural heritage, an authenticity that can often be lost in other destinations in favour of making those new to a place more comfortable, an incredible culinary tradition to indulge in, friendly locals, and much more besides, Naples has more than enough to entice visitors and endear itself to them. Grand in a charmingly slightly dishevelled sort of way, utterly full of character, and a beating heart of Italian life and heritage, there is far more to Naples than travellers of decades past might lead you to believe...
Sorrento is already a stunning and relaxing holiday destination but if you're really looking to unwind while on vacation in Sorrento or on vacation in Campania then a visit to a spa is the ideal addition to your trip. Descending into a beautiful spa setting, cocooning from the rest of the world, forgetting everything else for a few hours, soaking, steaming, spending some time in the sauna, swimming, and enjoying some pampering and soothing treatments before heading back out to enjoy all of the charms of Sorrento once more sounds good to us! So, if you have found a villa in Sorrento and are really looking for some proper R&R in addition to exploring the sights, attractions, culinary delights, and more in the area while on holiday, then consider planning a visit to the wonderful Spa Ulysse day spa...
We've noted before that if you find a villa in Sorrento and spend time in the area, you're going to encounter limoncello sooner more likely than later. The famous lemon-flavoured liqueur is iconic and one of the most famous foodie products in the area that is almost always served after meals out in the area so, even if you have never tried it before, you'll quickly become acquainted after a holiday in this part of Italy. If it proves to particularly tickle your fancy or you want to get your hands on some to bring home as great foodie souvenirs (the best kind!) for the neighbour who kept an eye on your house and watered your plants then you should definitely make a point to head to Limonoro Fabbrica Liquori Di D'Esposito Ciro.

A villa on the Amalfi Coast means access to endless beautiful seaside towns, pretty beaches, and charming spots with incredible views over the coast. It is an innately scenic part of Italy and the world and if you're fond of wonderful panoramas and visiting impossibly picturesque attractions then it is a great option for your next holiday in Italy. Among all of the lovely things to see and places to visit in the region, however, one of the most magical of all has to be the Giardino della Minerva in the town of Salerno. Browse our vacation rentals on the Amalfi Coast and get planning your trip today to take in this gorgeous garden and the infinite list of other beautiful attractions in the area.
The Giardino della Minerva (or Minerva's Garden) is a rather special botanical garden located on a high terrace that boasts sweeping views over the city of Salerno and out over the coast. Found in the medieval core of the city, in an area that was once known as the Plaium Montis, the garden traces its roots all the way back to the 12th century and is a very special gem that is now open to the public to be enjoyed for its educational, aesthetic and therapeutic qualities.
