Walking Grab your boots - if you love enjoying the great outdoors on foot, we have a huge range of resorts to suggest to you. There’s plenty of extensive walking trails, for all levels, through high alpine peaks in and around Europe - but our favourites are Austria, Italy, Switzerland and France. In the winter, most of these spots are ski resorts, but in summer you can still use the lifts. That means everyone in your group can enjoy the incredible views, even if they don’t want to hike up the mountain. Most resorts have summer cards so you can get free or discounted access to the lifts, and guided walking tours too. The best thing about walking holidays is the guilt free stop at the mountain hut for delicious food and a refreshing drink. Look out for this icon on our resort pages to find the perfect resort for Walking Planning a holiday should be as fun as heading out the door with your bags. But where to go this summer? Our top tip is to start with what you love to do the most when you’re away. That way, you can narrow down the places to enjoy a holiday that’s perfect for you. So, where will it be this year? Explore your passions and find your top summer holiday.

On a warm day, we like to head to the pool, which is small but a welcome relief when it’s hot.

Italy Lake Como
Best for Sightseeing Join the ranks of the rich and famous, wandering through the idyllic villas and botanical gardens of Como. Look out for the sculptures by Canova in Tremezzo’s 17th century Villa Carlotta. Visit Villas Melzi and Serbeloni in Bellagio and Villa Balbianello in Lenno - some offer discounted entry to National Trust members, so don’t forget your card.
Make sure you pack your designer sunglasses and fanciest shoes for a holiday on Lake Como - the most glamorous of Italy’s lakes. Spend your days dining in waterfront restaurants and taking boat trips. The scenery will take your breath away - the lakeside is dotted with palatial villas and botanical gardens. The lake’s three arms stretch out into the Apls to the north and towards Milan in the south. The best views are in the mountains and there’s plenty of walking routes to choose from, but you don’t have to exert yourself - in fact, we’d recommend jumping on the famous Bernina Express Railway to enjoy them in style.

Fraciacorta has gained well-deserved recognition since the sparkling variety was introduced in the sixties.

This clifftop town sets out cobbled streets, churches and shady lemon groves above the Bay of Naples. The Amalfi Coast rolls out south of Sorrento and the colourful towns of Ravello, Positano and Amalfi spill down the cliffs. Capri and Ischia are a short hop across the water.

Hotel Rivage HHH (Sorrento) This lovely hotel is in the historic centre of Sorrento. From the small rooftop pool you’ll have great views over the Bay of Naples towards Mount Vesuvius. The bar’s conveniently nearby, so if you fancy a poolside drink the friendly staff will be more than happy to arrange that for you. The restaurant is just beside the pool with chairs and tables sprawled out onto the panoramic terrace. We loved sitting out here, enjoying the mild summer evenings and the tasty Neapolitan cuisine.

The Grand Hotel Excelsior is all about the sea views. It’s about 1,500 feet above the town of Amalfi and on the edge of the cliff, which means you get uninterrupted views from pretty much everywhere in the hotel. Every room comes with a private balcony so you can step out each morning and enjoy relaxing sea views before heading to breakfast. We love the restaurant’s terrace and it’s hard not to linger over your morning coffee when the views are this good. When you do manage to tear yourself away, it’s quite easy to visit the Amalfi Coast and explore the area. There’s a free shuttle from the hotel that will have you in the centre of Amalfi in less than 15 minutes.

There’s so much to see and do in Sicily, we think it’s best to stay in more than one resort. Pair Taormina with a few days in Cefalù or head across to the Aeolian Islands.
Best for Sightseeing
Sicily’s food is wonderfully unique. Thanks to the Greeks, olive oil is abundant - pick up a bottle to take home with you. Pistachios are grown in the foothills of Mount Etna and sprinkled on top of cannoli - a sweet, ricotta filled desert. The island is known for its street food, which is a perfect excuse to snack as you wander around - try arancini (rice-filled balls) and scaccia (a type of sandwich).

Our favourite things about Sicily is that no town or village is the same. You could easily spend a couple of weeks here and still have plenty to see and do. Taormina’s a good base for excursions to Mount Etna and you can get to the Aeolian Islands from here too. Stay in Syracuse and discover towns like Noto and Modica - there’s plenty of architecturebaroquehere. Cefalù has the best beach though!

Sicily has over a thousand years of history to discover. Thanks to its outpost off the southwest coast of Italy, it’s had a near-continuous ebb and flow of settlers - from North Africans and Romans to Ancient Greeks and Normans. Everything from the food to the architecture is a cultural mash. Fans of classical history can walk through the Valley of the Temples or admire the pristine Greco-Roman amphitheatre above Taormina. Meanwhile, the beautiful south east has baroque towns that cling to cliffs and Syracuse, which is home to Ortygia - the Ancient Greek city centre.
Best for History
The Greek Theatre in Taormina is Sicily’s most famous historic landmark. They still put on shows here and the film festival brings in A-listers from around the world. The views from inside are spectacular so bring your camera along. Syracuse has its own ancient theatre and the Valley of the Temples is an absolute must for history buffs - it has some of the best preserved ancient Greek temples in the world.

Baia del Capitano HHHH (Cefalù) Hotel Baia del Capitano has a great Mediterranean style throughout and a laid back atmosphere. It’s located in the Bay of Mazzoforno, just four kilometres away from the historical centre of Cefalù. From its elevated position you get views over the sea towards the picturesque town. The rooms are decorated in a typical Sicilian style and offer plenty of comfort and modern amenities - most have views over the hotel’s Mediterranean gardens but upgrades to a sea view are available for a supplement. Your time at the hotel can be as relaxing or active as you want - there’s plenty on offer for everyone. You can relax by the pool, where you can keep your glass topped up with drinks from the pool bar or lay back in the whirlpool; or head to the nearby private sandy beach where there are plenty of loungers (normally open mid June to mid September). There’s lots of activities available too including tennis, cycling and scuba diving (some activities are payable locally). The centre of Cefalù is around a 15-minute drive away and local buses stop directly outside the hotel. This is a charming seaside town with a lovely historic centre that’s filled with stunning architecture, restaurants and bars.
Hotel Villa Diodoro HHHH (Taormina) Villa Diodoro is built on the hillside with views over the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna. It’s under ten-minutes’ stroll to Corso Umberto, Taormina’s main street, yet inside the quiet sanctuary of the hotel you wouldn’t believe it. You could spend all day just enjoying the views and lounging beside the large outdoor pool. If you’d like to make the most of Taormina’s beautiful coastline, the hotel runs a shuttle service (payable locally) that takes you to their sister hotel where you can use the sunbeds and umbrellas free of charge on the lovely private Thebeach.dining room has Belle Époque décor and high ceilings. Ask to be seated beside the windows if you can to make the most of the view. The whole dining experience is a very elegant affair. On the warm summer evenings, we loved sitting on the comfy armchairs of the Bar il Vecchio Carrubo terrace. The rooms have a classic Italian feel. If you upgrade to the Superior Room you’ll have a lovely furnished balcony that looks out over the gardens. Some have side views towards the sea.

The Amalfi Coast isn’t too far from Puglia and we love seeing two very different coastlines in one holiday.
Best for Water based Puglia has some of the best beaches in Italy. The central region is filled with trendy beach clubs where you can top up your tan on a lounger or try some water sports. The south has sandy beaches and plenty of them. Marina de Pescoluse is our favourite - there’s clear, shallow water and white sands.

The towns all offer something different so visit as many as you can - it’s a tough call to pick our favourites but Polignano a Mare and Ostuni are unmissable. This is a great place to dust off your walking boots or jump on a bike too. It’s quite flat and there’s some great country trails where you can slow down and appreciate the views.
Puglia is a farmer’s region so the food comes straight from the field to your table and locallysourced produce is the star of the show. The region produces most of Italy’s olive oil and you can visit some of the farms for a tasting. Another must-do is spending time in Bari where ladies will sit on the street making orecchiette, or ‘little ears’, Puglia’s pasta.

getting lost here is half the fun. Time-worn streets lead you past tiny pizzerias and shops hung with Venetian masks. Gondoliers glide down waterways navigated by their ancestors, while vaporetti speed down the Grand Canal to St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge. Islands gather in the surrounding Venetian Lagoon - and each have their own specialty. Nip over to Murano to see the masterful glass blowers or to Burano to wander the canals framed by rainbow-coloured houses. Best for History Venice was once the gateway for trade between Europe and the Byzantine empire, which brought a lot of wealth to the city and makes it a fascinating place to explore. See some of the best examples of Byzantine architecture in St. Mark’s Square and explore the museums. Best for Culture Whatever your reasons for coming to the floating city, great art and culture is unavoidable. We can’t get enough of the city’s galleries. The Bellini family’s creations are beautiful examples of a classic Venetian style - see them in the Gallerie dell’Accademia. Best for Sightseeing There’s plenty to see and do in Venice’s historic centre but we like to venture off the beaten track a bit. The Jewish Quarter is always great to see and a good way to mingle with the locals. During the summer, jump on a boat and head to the Lido. There’s lots of sandy beaches and fishermen’s towns to discover.

the home of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet - but it gained star status long before Shakespeare found inspiration beneath Juliet’s balcony. Back in the first century, Verona was a Roman stronghold. Arena di Verona - one of the most impressive Roman sites in Italy - transforms into a spectacular opera venue each summer. And the Teatro Romano still hosts plays and music performances 2,000 years after it was built. Elsewhere, pink marble townhouses and piazzas (including the cavernous Piazza Bra) hide away osterie wine bars stocked with local Soave and Amarone wine.
Best for Culture
The Verona opera is one for the bucket list. Sitting in the ancient, open-air arena and watching a performance is one of the most incredible experiences you can have. Even if you’re not attending the opera, try and be in the piazza during the evening in the summer. It’s a great place to people watch as everyone starts to arrive in their tuxedos and cocktail dresses.

There’s more modern culture here too. Milan is a powerhouse of fashion with the world’s most well-known fashion week’s taking place in the city twice a year. Best for Sightseeing The historic centre of Milan is quite small so you can see all the sights on foot. The Duomo is a must-see. Its gothic exterior is stunning with so many intricate details.

Best for History There’s over 3,000 years of history in Rome and there’s more sights being uncovered every year.

Discover the city’s stunning piazzas or take some time out in the manicured Villa Borghese gardens. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, the city changes.
