Your Italy Holiday

Italy package holidays transport you to a country impossibly rich in history, culture and culinary prowess. You can stick a pin anywhere along its 4,700-mile coastline to discover breath-taking beaches framed by beautiful blue seas. Head inland for ancient ruins, winding country roads and many a masterpiece by the Renaissance greats. All this before you’ve even hit the iconic cities of Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice, each with its own history, charm – and version of pizza. And let’s not forget, the Alps are here, too. Ski holiday in Italy, anyone? There really is nothing this place can’t do!

This is not a typical hotel where there is a lobby or staff to greet you . Instead it is a set of apartments in a corner building . The person who let us in was awaiting for us at the door at check in. Breakfast was serve in a buffet style . Staff would ask if you would order something else if you like. Continental breakfast is available .Overall it was comfortable and easy to find . Shops and restaurants are all walking distance.

Holiday in Rome to explore ancient and modern iconic sites

The ancient capital of Rome is one of the most popular destinations for travellers in the world.
