Holiday houses & holiday apartments Italy

Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Italy (2010), page 126

The authors Dr. Bernhard Abend and Anja Schliebitz give an impression of the country:
“Italy is not just a country – Italy is an attitude towards life. The country and its inhabitants represent a scale of different emotions that range from yearning for care-free life to an enjoyment of chaos and also include a thirst for knowledge or culinary cravings.”

atraveo offers you across Italy an exceptional choice of more than 28,000 holiday apartments and houses. From Tuscan country manors to cosy city apartments like in Venice or Florence all the way to luxury villas with own pool and several bedrooms like on Sardinia or along the Riveria are part of the comprehensive range provided by atraveo guaranteeing that everybody will find something matching their taste. When choosing the right holiday home you can get good guidance from reviews provided by atraveo customers that have already stayed there. This will ensure that the property you select will definitely correspond with your perceptions. Before taking this decision it will be necessary to pick a region for your vacation.

La dolce vita – discover the sweetness of live
Whether in Tuscany or at Lake Garda, the Ligurian Riviera or the Adriatic Sea, sunny Calabria or snowy South Tyrol: Italy has always been the epitome of wanderlust, travelling and relaxation. No matter where in Italy you are, it is always the open-hearted people with their original Italian love for life and the busy and colourful flair in the Italian villages and small cities that make this Mediterranean country that attractive and unique. Take a stroll along the small alleys to piazzas, refresh yourself in a typical Italian bar, discover ancient treasures from the renaissance or just bathe in the sun – you will soon understand the meaning of Italy and the “dolce vita” – the sweetness of life.

Worth a culinary journey
Whilst enjoying a holiday home vacation you can also have a try at preparing typical Italian food. Eventually the uniqueness of the country is also down to its culinary specialities. With fresh produce bought at the local market even a simple pasta sauce with a glass of wine tastes that much better than at home. Alternatively you can pamper yourself in one of the many Italian restaurants.

Explore Italy’s cities from your holiday apartment
One outstanding highlight is of course Italy’s renowned cities. Rome, the Eternal City, leads the way with its ancient treasures and architectural master pieces such as the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon or St. Peter’s Basilica. Venice is world-famous and unique for its setting in the lagoon and its canals which stretch through the city. Florence, Verona and Siena impress with their cultural sights. And while Milan in the north made its name as the fashion capital Naples in the south attracts tourists with its spectacular location between the sea and Mount Vesuvius. Choose a holiday apartment in one of the Italian cities or at least plan one or two city day trips – you won’t regret it.

By plane, car or train to Italy
Depending on your travel destination and starting point there are several journey options available. The most flexibility is guaranteed by travelling with your own car. However one must consider that travelling to south Italy takes a long time. There are international airports all over Italy and flights to popular holiday destinations are provided all year round. Travelling by train is also a good option when visiting the country south of the Alps.

The most popular destinations for a holiday home vacation in Italy with our atraveo customers are especially Tuscany, which probably embodies the longing for Italy like no other region does and the  Adriatic Coast with its pulsating beach life luring countless tourists year on year. Also very popular are the large Italian islands, the beautiful Sardinia and the hot Sicily with the renowned volcano Mount Etna. The same also applies for Lake Garda, situated at the foothills of the Alps and South Tyrol which is very much favoured by winter sports enthusiasts.
