Italy Christmas Holidays

Few parts of the world can boast such riches as Italy. With its captivating cities, amazing architecture and art, and gorgeous gastronomy, this European jewel inspires and moves like no other place. Spending your Christmas in Italy means indulging in the good life – if you are after a cultural break, head to the culture-filled streets of Florence to explore the magnificent Duomo, the Uffizi gallery and the Ponte Vecchio, discovering one of the world’s finest open-air museums. You could also spend your Italy Christmas Holidays exploring the Italian Lakes, where you’ll find cinematic scenery, elegant towns and plenty of luxurious hotels lining the waterfronts. Be sure to visit Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Lake Garda – some of all all-time favourite spots which are framed by the snowy Alps. If you are looking to spend your Christmas in Italy skiing, look no further than the Dolomites. This super-ski area comprises some 800 miles of slopes, including the Marmolada glacier, creating a network that rivals the Trois Vallées in France.

"Exceptional, genuine, tailored recommendations and clearly well thought through with passion. Both hotels were spot on to my brief, quirky, boutique and bags of charm and character. Love the app, this is a genius touch. And the reading list touch was lovely - again, so much thought had gone into this. The Concierge was so responsive, so helpful and so knowledgable about local places. The whole experience was memorable."

"Within a couple of days of our introductory call, we had a full itinerary and a better trip than I could have planned on my own. I would highly recommend working with Emily, she was amazing to work with and extremely helpful. The staff at the hotels were extremely attentive to us because they knew we had booked through Original Travel. The app made everything easy to follow throughout our long trip, and the Concierge were always quick to respond with great information. Every excursion that was booked was a 10/10 experience. Nothing that could have been better - it was the best honeymoon I could have asked for."
