The Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park is a truly stunning geomarine national park on the coast of Sardinia that was established in 1994. Covering an area of over 12,000 hectares and stretching along 180 kilometers of coastline, it is comprised of a group of islands and islets located on the north-east of the coast of Gallura, in the stretch of sea between Sardinia and Corsica known as Bocche di Bonifacio, which is soon to be recognised as an international marine park.

All of these islands are either deserted or are only scattered with small human settlements, beside La Maddalena. As a result, it is an area of natural beauty that has largely been untouched and unaltered by human hands. It is just endless, impossibly blue skies and seas, lush hills and greenery, coves, inlets, and long stretches of pretty beaches. An unforgettable and beautiful place, it is a must-see for anyone who has found a vacation rental in Sardinia.

Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and a popular tourist attraction that is full of culture, history, incredible tastes and traditions, excellent beaches, underwater caves and grottoes, and monuments and museums. One of these amazing museums is located in Nuoro, a perfect Sardinian city that has managed to escape mass tourism. MAN, or the Museo dell'Arte di Nuoro, is distributed across four floors in a 1920s building in the city and displays art from the 19th century to the present day, with a focus on Sardinian art. If you find a vacation rental in Nuoro and are looking to escape the heat and adventures of the island for a little while, this museum is a perfect little introduction to the artistic history of this fascinating place.

The word, “leprosy,” doesn't exactly conjure images of a good time or a desirable tourist attraction but the former leprosarium known as the Lazzaretto, or Mole Vanvitelliana, in Ancona is a stunning building that has become a must-see for those visiting the town. An incredibly impressive architectural gem with a rich history, it is an extraordinary sight to behold if you have managed to find a vacation rental in Le Marche.

Punta della Penna beach is a little-known beauty and Abruzzo’s best kept secret. Located in the nature reserve of Punta Aderci and surrounded by vineyards that roll back from the coast, it is a perfect powdery white beach that stretches out for kilometres, crystal-clear turquoise waters and boasting Blue Flag status. Utterly picturesque and one of the best beaches in all of Italy, it is a must for anyone who has found a vacation rental in Abruzzo.

Manfredonia is a name that you may not have heard of before but maybe you should have! It is an incredibly beautiful seaside town located on the eastern coast of Italy, in the comune of Apulia, that has managed to fly under the radar but has lots to offer the discerning visitor. So, if you find a holiday rental in Apulia, come explore and discover its charms for yourself.

Faced by a long stretch of coast, with endless crescent moons of perfect sandy beaches to play on and aquamarine waters to splash in, the town is comprised of an astounding historic core, surrounding by a fascinating sprawl of newer buildings.

With lots to offer visitors by way of sights, restaurants, bars and stores but far from the beaten tourist trail, it is a great spot for the more intrepid traveller looking for something new.
