Destinations
Ideas of travelling in Italy: art, culture, food, far from the mass tourism.
Naples, Roma, Florence, the Vesuvio or the Etna, who have never seen at least once a postcard or a picture of these citiesAbsolute masterpieces that testify the important economic and cultural role that Italy always had during its history, probably for its central position into the Mediterranean Sea.
Italy is a land where in thousands of history many different cultures have left their mark: Arabic, Persian, Greek, Normans, and so on. Is possible nowadays to admire this heritage visiting the extensive archaeological sites all over the boot, from North to South. Italy is worldwide known for its incredible heritage of art and culture. 41 spot declared by UNESCO world heritage and the 75% of the whole worldwide heritage is in Italy. Italy is also a land of excellent food. Every region can delight the guests with delicious dishes prepared from the abundant fruits that Mother Nature gave without exception! “La Bella Vita” people say because after a holiday enjoyed in Italy you will never forget the stunning landscape, the excellent food, and the warm welcoming! Italy is all wonderful and each region has something special to offer. We have selected those that match with our project of tourism: far from the mass tourism, convenient and real.
From Lucca (Tuscany) to Marzamemi (Sicily) there are 1200 kilometres of Italy to enjoy! Ideally would be a trip of a couple of months through Agriturismo, Bed&Breakfast or Holiday house selected from Vesuvio Tour. Maybe one day we will receive such a request, and will be a pleasure to build such a memorable journey!
