From Tuscany to the toe of Italy, this southern European country has been attracting visitors in their millions for literally thousands of years and this is definitely not difficult to see why. The nations is so varied, there is bound to be something that will appeal to even the most discerning of traveller.

Starting up in the north of this beautiful country, you have The Dolomite Mountain range, on the border with Austria and Switzerland. This is where many Italians head for the winter skiing excursions and is a particularly picturesque part of the world.

Then we hit some of the great cities such as Milan and Venice: both are exceptionally popular attractions in their own right. Florence and Rome are equally welcoming millions of visitors every year and this is for the awesome museums of Firenze and the Roman ruins of the capital.

Right down in the far south-western corner of Italy you come to the island of Sicily. This enjoys one of the warmest climates in the country and is where you will find Mount Etna - one of the last remaining active volcanoes in Europe.

Italy is massively diverse and it would take you months to see all that there is to on a holiday. With so many airlines competing on routes to Italy nowadays, it really is a perfect time to take a vacation there and by booking a villa for multiple people, you may end up saving even more money.
