The staff here at Easy Reserve (who run the websites Italy Villas, Tuscany Villas, Easy Reserve and more) is made up of both Italians and passionate Italophiles and we thought, who better to give you insight on the best places to visit and the lesser-known, hidden gems in Italy? Here are some of our members of staff's picks of their favourite spots in Italy and why they made them fall in love!

1. Trieste's Piazza Unità d'Italia

One of our staff members is from Venice, has family from the south of Italy and has spent his university years in Bologna but his pick is actually a magical corner of Trieste! Specifically, he singled out the Piazza Unità d'Italia, “because it is surrounded by beautiful buildings and...one side of the piazza is actually the sea, the Gulf of Trieste. So, especially at night, with the lights and everything, there is a really nice atmosphere.”     Read More

Venice
In the previous post, we discussed how hard it can be for those planning their first trip to Italy to even decide upon a location in the first place.

If you are struggling to choose, read on, answer our important questions and find the right holiday destination in Italy for you!

3. Love the seaside?

There are plenty of locations that are great for those interested in a seaside getaway as Italy juts out into the sea and very few regions are completely landlocked (Lombardy, Trentino-Alto-Adige, Umbria, Valle D'Aosta, Basilicata and Piedmont are the only ones).     Read More

Prosecco
In the last post, we discussed the history and characteristics of Prosecco, trying to provide a greater base of information on the famous beverage that is both affordable and tasty. It is something that many of us consume on a regular basis without thinking on too deeply but, like any other wine, there is a lot more to learn about it and the best way is to visit a vineyard and taste some delicious wines for yourself! Just find a vacation rental in Friuli Venezia Giulia or a luxury villa in Veneto and then plan a trip to one of these incredible vineyards so you can get to trying some amazing wines.

1. Azienda Agricola Vettori

Azienda Agricola Vettori is a vineyard run by Arturo Vettori and produces two types of Prosecco and two kinds of white wine. Located in a sunny valley around 8km from the town of Conegliano in Veneto. It is a beautiful and historic estate that was re-established by the Vettori family in 1990 and its methods, grapes and wines were greatly increased at this time.     Read More

Spanish Steps
There is an endless list of things to see and do in Rome. However, this particular series of posts have been concerned with must-see attractions that are also photogenic gems because nothing happened unless you have photographic proof, right? All jokes aside, photographs of your holiday are important as, once you have found a vacation rental in Rome and are making a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Eternal City, you'll want to remember it. A holiday is about making memories, not merely passing time. Here are some more of those photogenic locations where you can capture your memories beautifully...
