There are lots of wonderful walks located all across Italy so that, no matter your fitness level or interests or time constraints, there will probably be something perfect for you. Whether you are merely wandering and admiring the pretty surroundings of a palace garden or you are undertaking a proper trek through Alpine trails or across the famously beautiful Tuscan island of Elba or something in between, a vacation rental in Italy means plenty of opportunities to enjoy a nice stroll. However, if you are particularly interested in fascinating, almost alien, somewhat exotic, impossibly beautiful landscapes as surroundings then there is nothing for it but to find a villa in Apulia. The whole region of Apulia is known for being gorgeous but we reckon it deserves even more praise as a holiday destination and, in particular, as a destination for those who enjoy hiking and exploring. There is much to see and do in the region but one of the loveliest and most magical trails that one could possibly undertake while on vacation in Apulia has to be the Sentiero delle Orchidee, or Path of the Orchids. Come and stretch your legs, take in the delicate and incredibly stunning blooms, enjoy the scent, take in the other surroundings, and forget about the rest of the fast-paced modern world for a nice chunk of time during your holiday...

While the region of Emilia-Romagna is famous for towns like Ferrara, Ravenna, Bologna, and Modena, among others, there are obviously some lesser-known gems that are well worth exploring, particularly if you want to get away from the regular tourist crowds. One such destination is the charming town of Comacchio, known as the, “Little Venice,” of Emilia-Romagna. Located 3km from the coast in the Po Delta, 50 km from Ferrara, 35 km from Ravenna, and 110 km from the actual Venice, a villa in Comacchio offers both the chance to enjoy a beautiful, peaceful hidden gem while still being able to take day trips to some of Italy's most famous and incredible cities and to spend days exploring the wonderful beaches and seaside fun of Emilia-Romagna.

A lagoon town, steeped in history, swathed in sea air blowing in from the coast, Comacchio is now known as the capital of the Po Delta Park and boasts endless architectural gems, seven nearby beaches, and pretty canals. Best visited between April and mid-October, when the weather is pleasant enough to enjoy all of the outdoor and seaside charms of the destination, there is an endless list of things to see and do while on vacation in Comacchio . Here is our guide to some of the highlights!

While summer is still going strong in some parts of the world, across much of the globe, fall colours are taking over and a nip is suddenly in the air. Very quickly, autumn will fully descend, the holidays will be upon us, and ski season will be in full swing. If you're looking for some mountain breaks to look forward to this fall and winter, whether you're interested in hiking or winter sports, it is time to start booking before it's too late!

One of the best mountain destinations for those who want to vacation in Italy has to be South Tyrol. A northern region of Italy with unique, Germanic-influenced traditions and culture, a section of the Alps cutting through it, and some exceptionally pretty towns and scenery, a vacation rental in South Tyrol is perfect for those who want to experience the best of the outdoorsy fun and stunning views that can be offered by a holiday in Italy's alpine areas.

A particularly lovely part of South Tyrol, however, has to be the area around Seiser Alm and the Alpe di Siusi ski resort. Utterly stunning, this plateau is nestled among the craggy and romantic peaks of the Dolomites and is the largest high-altitude Alpine meadow. A major tourist attraction for both skiing and hiking, it is an exceptionally picturesque part of the world and the perfect blend of that combination of outdoor adventure and gorgeous surroundings that draws visitors from all over the globe.
