Luxury Holidays to Italy

A luxury holiday to Italy has it all. There’s natural beauty in abundance: the craggy cliffs of the Italian Riviera and Amalfi Coast fringed by fertile countryside, the glory of the great cities of Venice, Florence and Rome, the glamorous and dazzling Italian Lakes; you could go on and on. With a lot of hype to live up to, it’s a testament to Italy that it never fails to charm, surprise or reward you.

It’s also somewhere that appreciates finer things; la dolce vita is the phrase often repeated about Italy, and it has luxury holidays down to an art form. From urban boutique hotels to lakeside retreats and Mediterranean beaches to world-famous art galleries, with Lightfoot Travel, you’ll receive a highly personalised itinerary for the perfect Italian escape.

Where to go on holiday in Italy

Italy has numerous stand-out cities. In the north, there’s cosmopolitan Milan, east lies crumbling Venice: Italy’s most romantic holiday destination. South is beautiful Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance and arguably the world’s greatest city for art. Surrounding Florence, the lush countryside of Tuscany has long provided an idyllic retreat for luxury holidays in Italy. The cuisine is exquisite, and a wine tour of the Chianti vineyards is essential. Farther south is Rome, Italy’s masterpiece, once lauded as caput mundi (capital of the world). A living, breathing alfresco museum that harbours the treasures of an empire lost to time.

Luxury beach holidays to Italy

However, the cities only paint one side of Italy’s portrait. For unrivalled Mediterranean bliss, the Amalfi Coast is synonymous with luxury holidays. Famously photogenic, old whitewashed towns cling to steep, rocky cliffs framed between sweet-smelling lemon groves and the emerald-blue sea. On the horizon lies the mountainous island of Capri, encircled by golden sandy beaches.

Or why not head to the heel of Italy's boot, Puglia, defined by its craggy coastline, crystal clear waters and endless summer sunshine. These coastal destinations offer the perfect backdrop for a luxury beach holiday in Italy, fusing sun, culture and indulgent cuisine.
