With so many famous beach resorts, you might think Italy is almost too obvious a destination for a summer holiday. Think again! From the exclusive Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, to the charms of Rimini and the beautifully preserved coasts of the UNESCO-protected Aeolian Islands, there is bound to be an Italian beach just for you. Italy Summer holidays are also about exploring the country’s many stunning national parks. The Dolomites are positively gorgeous in summer and host a vast range of sports from hiking and riding to cycling and Via Ferreta climbing routes. For a romantic, Belle Epoque-like escape,
shore up on peaceful Lake Maggiore, or - if you're willing to brave the heat - you’ll find Italy’s cities blissfully deserted in August; perfect for submersing yourself in culture.

Rome with the children was such a wonderful experience and so reassuring to have the organisation and back up of Original Travel to support it. The Concierge was excellent, always available and ready to help.
