Italian Escapes Worth Shouting About
It’s all about location on a Travelsphere guided holiday
An escorted tour is the perfect way to get out and see Italy. You’ll get to discover all the must-see sights and, when you travel with Travelsphere, you’ll also find itineraries that have been created to make sure you get to experience a few hidden gems too! What puts the icing on the cake is the accommodation – carefully selected to make sure you have somewhere comfortable to relax at the end of each day.
We take a closer look at just a few of the places you could be spending time on a guided holiday to Italy…
1. The Italian Riviera
For a trip to the Italian Riviera, Portofino and the Cinque Terre, Travelsphere have found the perfect hotel – The Grand Hotel, located on the seafront promenade at Forte dei Marmi. The tour includes a visit to the Cinque Terre and a scenic cruise from Rapallo to Portofino, but if you’d prefer to relax back at the hotel, you’ll love that the beach is close by and you can easily get out and explore the beautiful resort.
2. Sardinia’s Emerald Coast
On a tour in Sardinia, where millionaires’ yachts and designer boutiques are the norm, you’ll enjoy a touch of luxury. Stay on one of the most exclusive stretched of coastline in the world, Costa Smeralda, where your home from home, the Club Hotel Baja Sardinia boasts a private bay and beautiful terraces overlooking the sea.
3. Secret Sicily
Known for fortified wine, Marsala is a coastal town with ancient ruins, salt pans and more. When you take Travelsphere’s Secret Sicily tour, not only will you get to experience the sights of this stunning town as well as more undiscovered treasures of the island, you’ll enjoy two nights at the Hotel Carmine. This historic building has been beautifully decorated to complement its charming exterior. Located the heart of the town, if you want to explore Marsala further… it’s all on your doorstep.
4. A Taste of Medieval Italy
Give your taste buds a thrill with Travelsphere’s A Taste of Medieval Italy tour, where you’ll sample flavours from the region. But that’s not all – you’ll stay at the Albergo dei Medaglioni located in the heart of Correggio. This recently renovated property occupies a beautiful art nouveau building and retains much of its classic charm.
5. Sailing the Aeolian Islands
If you’re looking for something completely different, how about taking an escorted tour that will have you sailing the magical Aeolian Islands on an unforgettable cruise?
