Sicily
A sun-baked island of Greek temples, an active volcano and warm beaches — big, varied and rich in family adventure and hearty food.

Amalfi Coast
A postcard coastline of pastel cliff-top villages and blue sea — dramatic, relaxing and a scenic family base for beaches and boat trips.

Tuscany
Rolling vineyards, medieval hilltop towns and gentle countryside — a relaxed rural base where families slow down between the art cities.
3.1
Naples / Pompeii
Gritty, vibrant Naples beside the frozen-in-time ruins of Pompeii — home of pizza and one of the most vivid history lessons a child can walk through.

Mediterranean: hot summers (busy and pricey, especially August when many Italians holiday), mild springs and autumns ideal for families, and cool winters with Alpine snow in the north.
