Long Travel - Holidays in Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia

Some Ideas and Recommendations:

Food and Wine of Italy

Enjoy real Italian food. Many dishes served in Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia are not just regional, they are specific to just one village! Then of course, there is the wine – wow! Some of them are the finest you will taste, anywhere in the world.

Italy is synonymous with good food and wine, organic produce is the norm, not the exception, and ‘slow food' is an accepted practice and has been for many years. Whether you are thinking of a holiday in Puglia, Calabria, Basilicata, Abruzzo, Molise, Sicily or Sardinia or any of the other regions in southern Italy, you will eat and drink as well as you could, anywhere else in the world. Hand made scialatielli pasta with seafood from the Amalfi coast; African influenced tuna with cous-cous from Sicily or the traditional Lucanian cookery, which is a blend of the dishes and flavours found in Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria.

Southern Italy has some fantastic food markets, and many famous chefs have travelled to the south of Italy, Sicily and Sardinia in search of fine ingredients and inspiration. So, if you are self-catering on holiday, pack your recipe books, as by using such fresh and flavoursome ingredients, you can easily re-create the authentic Italian dishes cooked by Jamie Oliver or Rick Stein.

If you want to experience some of the finest hotel food, we have a selection of hand-picked properties where you can experience southern Italian food and wine at its very best.

From the fantastic antipasti and Salice Salento wines served at the Masseria Bosco in Puglia to the Porcheddu (pork) and Cannanau wines, which are regularly served at the Hotel Su Gologone in Sardinia, and of course, the Fattoria Dell'Uliveto in Abruzzo who has been part of the Italian slow food movement for many years and supplied the Ventricina salami for Prince Charles & Camilla's wedding! We can cater for all tastes.
