Where should I go for vacation in Italy?

Question

I am Canadian of Italian descent and I speak fluent Italian. I am a 35 y/o guy and have been to Italy many times where I have been to Milan, Turin, Rome, Amalfi Coast, Isle of Capri, Pompeii, Abruzzo (this is where my family is from and I have relatives there).

I am planning to go back again this year most likely in July or August and I want some input as to where I should go.

What do you suggest?

Answer 1

Florence! Lovely town. And good rail service to the surrounding towns.

Answer 2

VENEZIA (non si può vivere senza averla vista, è una città unica!!!), SIENA, S.GIMIGNANO (il più bel paese medievale d'Italia), PORTOFINO, CAPRI & COSTIERA AMALFITANA!

Answer 3

Hop on Ryan air in Rome over to Olbia...Rent a car and drive out to Palau...Take the ferry over to Lamaddalena....Lay on the beach all day and then get dinner at Laragosta's..or any of the ristorante's on the island....Gelato at Gelatissimo and Caffe and Charlie bar....There are quite a few hotels close to the Piazza Umberto...We lived over there for two years....Awesome place!!

Answer 4

Portofino is beautiful! Deffinately put that on your list! It's great there!

Answer 5

Avoid Naples.. Rome and the Isle of Capri are nice.

Pompeii I guess if your into history, Its nice when you have relations they can help you avoid all the tourist traps :)

Its worth a look see at Vatican City the museums are incredible!

Answer 6

Hi,

Try one of the off-tourist tracks?

Like Apulia or Calabria.

My wife and I have stayed there for our last summer vacations and loved it very much.

The seafood there is just superb.

The people are also much more open and not as fed up of tourists as in the mid and northern part.

Have a look at this article archive to get some more info:

Answer 7

Tuscany.For its landscapes and its artistic legacy, Tuscany is considered the most beautiful region in Italy.

Answer 8

You're LUCKYYYYY! I always dreamt of going to Italy with a special someone. Now when I have someone special in my life.. guess what? we're broke..hahahaha. I think the company is more important than the place and revisiting the places with someone special or new.. you'll see them differrently... try to enjoy the sun since you live in a cold  country

Answer 9

Try Tuscany near Florence. Was there last year. LOVELY area.

Answer 10

ti manca tutto il veneto! fai un tour del veneto : venezia , verona , padova , il lago di garda. Non te ne pentirai!

Answer 11

My husband and I go to Capri every year, and we absolutely love it.  If you go, stay at the Punta Tragara.  A day trip to Axel Munthe's house on AnaCapri is a must.

Answer 12

I suggest Rimini where you'd enjoy the beach and weather.

Answer 13

go to venice and theres this other place its like a marble quary I saw it on tv its like near parma

Answer 14

just walk around and find a place, it's more spontanious that way

Answer 15

The whole country is beaufitul.....avoid going to Naples if all possible...

Answer 16

Venice

Answer 17

Try Sicily

Answer 18

Portofino

Answer 19

I agree- If you have been to Italy so many times without seeing VENICE, you MUST go!  It is BEAUTIFUL!  I stayed in a 4 star hotel on an Island right next to Venice and it was wonderful!  (AND Cheaper than expected!)

Answer 20

Lucca. Its a beautiful walled city in Tuscany about 25 mintues drive from Pisa and Viareggio(on the coast).. If you stay in the walled city you have to walk everywhere, but the shoppingis fantastic. Via Del Fillilungo is the best.  While I was there I saw Jerry Seinfeld , Elton John, and Naomi Campbell. Great spot in and of itself, but it is near some of the very best spots in Itally (although there are a lot)- that is to say Florence, Rome (2-3 hours away), Cinque Terra, Siena. I reccomend it to anyone travelling there. I've visited there twice and the next time I go, I'll stay there again.

Answer 21

back to sorrento!

buon viaggio

Answer 22

Venice or Florence!
