Looking for travel tips in Italy?

Question

I'm going to italy Aug 25-Sep12. I was going to visit a friend but he decided to buy a plane ticket back home before I was going to arrive! :(

Oh well. I've been all over italy, but never south of Naples. I was wondering if anyone has any good places to go? I speak conversational italian, so I'm open to going off the beaten path and figuring stuff out as I go

Anyone looking for a travel partner during that time?

I'm also wondering about those resorts that italians go to. I think it's the sort of thing where you go to the beach for a week and food is paid for and they have activities. Anyone know the name for those in italian?

Answer 1

I suppose you're talking about a "villaggio vacanze", like these ones, for instance: http://www.esperidi.com/it/index.htm

Answer 3

Hi there,

I'm going to Italy too but unfortunately, just from 25 to 30 Sep. I already have plan to stay in London and Paris for the prior period so can not change my plan.

As for resort, think you may find out from lonely planet or guide on google. I am not much help here, am afraid:(
