L'Italie pourrait presque constituer deux pays différents: le Nord riche, industriel et stylisé et le Sud aride, rural et traditionnel; on pourrait même la diviser en quatre si l'on compte la Sardaigne et la Sicile, toutes deux fières de la spécificité de leur histoire et de leur tradition. Si vous vous rendez sur n'importe laquelle de ces îles, vous n'aurez pas le temps de profiter de tout ce qu'elles ont à offrir; mais si vous vous rendez sur les deux, c'est à travers le temps que vous aurez l'impression de voyager.
Le nord de l'Italie est la région la plus développée et Milan, capitale de la mode et du design, en est le symbole. Turin possède de nombreux sites classés au Patrimoine de l'Humanité tandis que l'historique Gênes reste encore aujourd'hui un important port de la Méditerranée.
Que ce soit dans les villes alpines du Tyrol ou au milieu des canaux de Venise, le nord de l'Italie est riche en petits hôtels de luxe. Dans les décors classiques de la Toscane et de l'Ombrie, où les vignes et les cyprès enveloppent les fermes, quelques uns des plus beaux hôtels boutique attendent d'être découverts.
Rome, ancien coeur de l'Empire Romain, siège de l'Eglise Catholique, capitale moderne, trône fièrement entre le nord et le sud. Au-dessous, Naples et Capri offrent de splendides paysages côtiers, destinations estivales populaires dans ce pays. Pour ceux qui seraient en quête de calme et de tranquillité, Apulie, le talon de l'Italie, est riche en sites archéologiques et naturels.
