Como

The city of Como is located on the lake’s southwestern tip and looks something out of a movie set. Lake Como is renowned for its lavish reputation, and you might even bump into George Clooney! With a view to the glistening lake and the stone-paved streets leading up to the impressive Como Cathedral, Como is a must see!
Our tip: If you haven’t scored an invite to a private villa party, go have a cocktail at Fresco Cocktail Shop. Try the flora cocktail- it’s bubbly!

Assisi

This is the town where St. Francis of Assisi was born, patron saint of Italy and founder of the Franciscan order. Assisi is a small, picturesque town, full of little churches and beautiful medieval streets. Don’t forget to visit the piece de resistance: the Basilica di San Francesco, dating back to the 13th Century.
Our tip: Our Italy trip planner suggests taking a bike tour to see a little bit of Umbria! You will get a taste of the locals’ experience, ride the roads less traveled, and take in the wonderful views.

Positano

Picture steep houses tumbling down to the sea, sunny beaches, and a pebble beachfront. As the setting for many a romantic movie, Positano is where you get down on one knee and propose. The sunset will paint the city in amazing peach, pink and terracotta colors while you two lovebirds celebrate your love together. Planning an Italy vacation has never been more romantic..!
Our tip: Go to Spiaggia Del Fornillo beach where you can spoil yourselves with fresh fruit and local wine.

Lucca

The beautiful Tuscan town of Lucca is protected by 16th Century walls which today serve as a pedestrian promenade. Take a  leisurely stroll down cobbled streets, or drink some local Lucchesi wine at one of the many charming cafes.
Our tip: You must eat at Da Pasquale, one of the best restaurants in Lucca. Pasquale will make you feel like you’re family and you will eat the freshest and tastiest antipasti  you can imagine! 

Lucca, Italy

Bellagio, Lake Como

Few places are as romantic as Lake Como, and even fewer as magical as magical as Bellagio. A charming little town set in a picture-perfect location, Bellagio is historic as well as beautiful. It boasts waterfront views and two gardens open to the public: Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melz.
Our tip: Take a leisurely walk in the gorgeous gardens, enjoy the vibrant colors and magnificent bloom, and soak in the view of the lake.

Taormina

Sicily’s resort town is a charming summer destination. With medieval churches and a chic vibe, the mountainside town of Taormina offers breathtakingly beautiful views. You may never have heard of this stunning little town, but it’s something that our Italy trip planner would certainly suggest if you were interested in seeing small towns! Don’t forget to visit the ancient Greek theater, which was built in the 3rd Century BC and is now hosting concerts and live shows!
Our tip: Visit Chiesa Madonna Della Rocca, a picturesque little church built into the mountain, which offers the best views in town. Bring comfy shoes because you have some stairs to climb!

Tropea

Located on a reef in Calabria, southwest Italy, Tropea is known for its many beautiful beaches and tiny cafes. According to an ancient legend, the town was founded by Hercules! Don’t miss the most impressive sight in town,  Santa Maria dell’Isola, a medieval church that sits on its own hilly island overlooking the ocean.
Our tip: Try Tropea’s renowned signature sweet red onions which are used to produce a delicious onion marmalade, or even ice cream!

San Gimignano

A small village in the heart of Italy’s wine country, with quaint streets, ancient towers and tiny restaurants, San Gimignano is the Italy is the Italy we see in postcards. Eat some homemade pasta, drink a craft of red wine, and don’t forget to whisper to your love “la vita e piu dolce con te.” (That’s Italian for “life is sweeter with you!”)
Our tip: If you could only do one thing on your Italy trip, run over to Gelateria Dondoli, named “the best ice cream in the world.” It is. Don’t ask questions, just go.
