It's no coincidence that we offer more places in Italy than in any other country on the planet. There is just so much to see and do, from exploring the temples of southern Sicily to skiing in the drop dead gorgeous Dolomites on the northern border with Austria, and a few highlights (Rome, anyone?) in between.
