Plenty of people head to a vacation rental in the Aosta Valley in the winter months to ski but it is also a wonder to explore throughout the other seasons on foot. In the summer, its mountains can provide a great escape from the more intense heat of the cities and towns of Italy, while in the fall and spring, the milder conditions make it an ideal time to hike and thoroughly explore the area. However, now is the time to visit if you want to see one of the region’s most charming attractions and one of the most magical botanical gardens in the world: the Chanousia Alpine Botanical Garden.
Casale Isidoro is the ultimate option for a luxury villa in Umbria, nestled amongst the lush landscape of rolling green hills, olive groves, and vineyards of the region. Stay at this beautiful stone villa, sleeping up to six guests in three bedrooms, with five bathrooms, and enjoy plush interiors like something taken from the pages of a décor magazine, relax by the private pool, lounge in the manicured gardens, and make the most of the long list of incredible amenities, including air-conditioning.
Love more authentic destinations? Enjoy exploring hidden gems and unspoiled natural wonders? Like getting a little bit off the beaten path and making your budget stretch just that bit further? Well, if you’ve been considering a vacation in Italy and this is the case, then there are some wonderful destinations that are unsung heroes.
Of course, it is not that these locations are utterly unknown. You may have friends or family who have visited them before, you may have heard of them but you are unlikely to have heard as much about them as some of the country’s more popular destinations. And while this all may be true, it does not mean that they have less to offer. Perhaps there won’t be quite the same concentration of famous sights to tick off a bucket list but there will be plenty of other amazing things to see, do, and experience. So, read on and find out why we recommend a holiday in Italy in these particular spots...
It has long been known that while those who book a villa in Italy can expect to eat well throughout their vacation, those who choose a vacation rental in Emilia-Romagna will get to dive into the foodie core of the country. In particular, the area called the Food Valley between the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, and Modena and Romanga, has an unparalleled amount of PDO and PGI foods and wines. In addition to these products, there is a wealth of incredible local dishes and foodie traditions as well, which is probably why this part of the world boasts a whopping twenty-five different museums that are entirely dedicated to different foods and food products. So, if you’re a dedicated food-lover who not only wants to eat well but also wants to learn more about some of the most beloved and high-quality products and ingredients in Italy, check out these specialised museums...
