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...

For the more serious water babies and beach lovers, a villa in Calabria means a vacation spent exploring some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and the world and a rugged coastline dotted by charming little villages, panoramic viewing spots, and all sorts of magical surprises. Yet, this is an area of Italy that gets comparatively few tourists and, unlike some parts of the country, is dying for more visitors! So, if you want to get ahead of the crowd, make your budget stretch further, and enjoy stunning beaches where finding a nice spot is not quite as much of a competitive sport during the summer months, then maybe Calabria is the place for you...
