If you have decided on a vacation in Italy, you might be weighing up your options when it comes to accommodation: Is a villa better than a hotel? Why might you choose to book a villa in Italy instead? Well, of course we’re a little bit biased but we think that there are plenty of great reasons to book a holiday rental in Italy…
There are many destinations in Italy where you don’t need a car at all but there are also some where it’s kind of impossible to get around properly or easily without one and there are some where you could still enjoy a holiday without a car but you won’t be able to experience your destination of choice very thoroughly. If you have been dreaming of a stay in one of our villas in Italy but you’re wondering which of these categories that a particular destination may fall into then read on for our handy guide....
Utterly singular, with incredible local traditions, and truly spectacular landscapes, Sardinia offers vacations in Italy but not as you imagine them. The second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and an extremely popular tourist destination, it is one of those places that you will likely have heard about plenty if you haven’t been yourself already. However, don’t come expecting the culture of mainland Italy but, rather, a distinct culinary scene, history, language, and more. Those who book a villa in Sardinia will come to find that there is nowhere else quite like it…
Often, when you go into the store of a nationally famous beauty brand in any country, you will see that they proudly proclaim, “Established in” and then a year. For many this might have been in recent history, some throughout the 20th century, maybe the 19th century, more rarely they will be slightly older still. If you come to Italy, however, it is not entirely uncommon to find that major heritage brands have far longer histories.
Take, for example, the brand Carthusia, hailing from the gorgeous island and exclusive tourist destination that is Capri. While the current iteration has been in existence for just over 20 years, it has a background of centuries of history and tradition and the brand is intertwined with legendary tales of monks on the island going all the way back to the 14th century. While stores throughout Italy sell the brand, those who find a vacation rental in Campania and who come to the island should make a point to visit their stunning fragrance laboratory for themselves to discover the perfect scent by which to remember a dream holiday...
The 50km stretch of coastline in the southern region of Campania in Italy that is the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy’s best-known and most beloved tourist destinations and for good reason. Those looking to truly escape the mundane routines and surroundings of daily life and leave their stresses and worries behind would be hard pressed to find a location as truly idyllic as this stunning part of the world. Book a villa on the Amalfi Coast and expect impossibly blue waters, pretty little beaches, pastel-coloured fishing villages, thrilling winding roads along rugged cliffs, fragrant lemon groves, and much more besides!
