Celebrating its 150th Birthday of a national unity in 2011, Italy is considered one of the world’s most magnificent places to visit. Perhaps no other country offers such diversity in landscapes, culture, food, history and relics of its ancient past. Its many faces are part of Italy’s appeal. From the fashion capital Milan to the rolling hills of Renaissance Tuscany and the peaks of the Alps, there’s something for everyone in Italy and you’ll find yourself drawn back repeatedly.
Eating out can be expensive. In larger cities you tend to pay a lot more than smaller towns. On average you should reckon on at least €20 to €50 for a meal (two courses, dessert and house wine), although you can still find basic set lunch menus for €10 to €15.
Puglia
Located in the south of the sunny southern Italy, Puglia is a place of beautiful landscapes, blue sea, golden sands and hillsides lined with silvery olive groves.
Alberobello is a town in the region of Puglia famous for its unique and fairytale like trulli houses - limestone dwellings with pointed roofs. Take a stroll around these little houses and wait around for the beautiful sunsets that can be seen from here - we promise it's worth the wait!
Sardinia
Sardinia - the heavenly island of idyllic white sandy beaches, warm turquoise waters and the perfect location for a relaxing beach holiday.
The best time to visit Italy is between April - June when the weather is warm but not stifling hot! Be aware of religious festivals and carnivals during this time especially around Easter.
Most Italians take their holidays during July & August when the weather is at its hottest in most places in Italy. This is when prices soar and when places will be at their busiest.
In the winter first snow normally falls around November however a freak snow fall in June is not uncommon.
Italian is the official language.
Euro (EUR; symbol €) Notes are in denominations of €500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of €2 and 1, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cents.
Most destinations in Italy can be easily reached by train, bus or ferry services and are relatively cheap. For longer distances an internal flight maybe more cost effective.
Car hire will give you the most freedom, but be aware of petrol costs on motorways and finding parking in busy cities.

Jackie FillisThe Egnathia Spa at Borgo Egnazia is just out of this world. It looks like a traditionally build Roman bath, and includes two Roman bath scrub rooms, many treatment rooms, beauty salon and more. There is no better place to loose yourself in absolute relaxation.
