Frequently Asked Questions
On the coast, the Amalfi Coast dominates with cliff-hanging hotels and sea views, while Sardinia (Costa Smeralda) and Sicily deliver the Mediterranean's finest beaches and baroque-meets-volcano landscapes respectively. In the cities you'll find palace hotels in Rome, Venice and Florence, and design-led luxury in Milan.
The Amalfi Coast for dramatic coastline and romance — Italy's classic honeymoon choice. Sardinia for beach luxury: Costa Smeralda's coves stand comparison with the Caribbean. Sicily for combining beaches with culture, gastronomy and a richer history than any other Italian region.
The coast and islands are at their best May–September. The cities are most pleasant in spring and early autumn, with milder heat and lighter crowds — Venice and Florence in July–August are both hot and busy.
Very much so. Italy is one of the world's leading food nations, and many luxury hotels have their own Michelin-starred restaurants — especially on the Amalfi Coast and in the major cities. Staying in historic palazzo and villa hotels makes the meals an experience in themselves.
Italy sits at the pricier end: a five-star hotel usually starts around €350–550 a night, and the most exclusive Amalfi Coast addresses run well over €900 in high season. Sicily and the south generally give you more for your money.
Both, but in different regions. The Amalfi Coast and Venice are classically romantic and suit couples and honeymooners, while Sardinia and Sicily offer plenty of family-friendly resorts with large pool areas and beaches.
