A trip to Italy is a trip like no other. It's a feast for the senses, and you never get bored. The Italian lifestyle is laid-back, social and all about la dolce vita - it's a struggle to leave and not want to emigrate straight back. From the Italian cuisine (hello freshly made pasta and pizza) to the vibrant arts and culture scene, it's a playground for all ages. It's like they took every good point of each European country and fit it all into one small boot-shaped beauty. Beaches on the Amalfi Coast, vineyards in the rolling Tuscan countryside, plus history and culture, world-class art and seriously impressive architecture absolutely everywhere. If you can't tell, we're totally in love.
