Luxury Honeymoons & Holidays in Italy

Three millennia of living it up have taught the Italians a thing or two about la dolce vita, and a luxury holiday to Italy is a celebration of all that is dolce: good food, great wine and gorgeous people. Italy's heady mix of art, architecture, beaches and beautiful scenery is hard to resist so we suggest you give in to its obvious charms and take your time to soak up one of Europe's most vibrant cultures.

From the cultural big-hitters of Rome, Florence and Venice to the clear waters of the Italian Lakes and off the beaches of Sardinia and Sicily, right through to the spectacular, world-renowned Amalfi Coast and Portofino, Italy offers enormous diversity and a tailor-made holiday or luxury honeymoon in Italy works incredibly well for romantics who want to cherry pick from Italy's many exquisite highlights.

Meanwhile for a luxury family holiday in Italy, Tuscany is always a firm favourite, along with Sicily and Sardinia for wonderful beaches, child-friendly hotels and great food the kids will love.
