Long Travel - Holidays in Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia

Some Ideas and Recommendations:

Italian Lakes and Mountains

Southern Italy has some of the most stunning countryside you can find anywhere in the world. Beautiful lakes, soaring mountains that are snow-capped for much of the year. The amazing landscape is relatively unknown to many who visit the South of Italy, Sicily and Sardinia.

We have a variety of accommodation, which allows you to take full advantage of these wonderful sights. The self–catering apartments at Il Vecchio Borgo are not only close to Rome, but they are just a short distance from Lake Bracciano and the Gran Sasso Mountains of Abruzzo. Lake Avernus, just North of the Amalfi Coast, is a volcanic crater-lake, which was of major importance to the Romans who considered it to be the entrance to Hades.

Hotel Su Gologone, famed throughout Sardinia for its wonderful food, is backed by Mount Corrasi, the highest summit of the Sopramonte mountain range. The views are stunning and in sheltered gullies below the summit you will find bushes of wild peonies, St Pankratius Lilies and Cyclamen .

Villa Tommaso is unique, a converted castle on the edge of the Madonie Mountains, the highest point in Sicily after Mount Etna, where, if you are really lucky you may see eagles and hawks soaring overhead. La Maiella sits close to the foot of the mighty Gran Sasso mountain range in Abruzzo, where you can enjoy views of the snow-capped mountains for many months of the year.

Or for something a little different, stay at Villa Sonia in Sicily, perched high above the coast in Castelmola di Taormina with uninterrupted views of the magnificent Mount Etna. What could be better than, after a long day out, heading back to sit on your terrace to watch the sun set over the countryside where, only an hour or so earlier, you were walking.
