Art, food, landscape and some of Europe’s most accomplished hotels and villas
Italy works because each region has such a distinct identity. The lakes, Venice, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Puglia, Sicily and the great cities can each anchor a complete holiday, while excellent rail, road and private transfer options make combinations straightforward.
The best luxury itineraries are often deliberately simple: a city paired with countryside, or a villa stay followed by the coast. Private guides, boats, winery visits and access-led experiences add depth without turning the trip into a checklist.
Where to explore in Italy
Our current Italy collection takes in Langhe – Piedmont, Amalfi Coast, Bologna, Capri, Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Milan, Naples, Perugia, Portofino and Santa Margherita, Puglia – Fasano, Sicily – Taormina, Sorrento, Tuscany and Venice. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.
Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.
Who Italy suits
Italy works particularly well for couples, families, food and wine travellers, celebrations and multi-generational villa holidays where location and service matter equally. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.
Planning your stay
Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine Italy with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
