Authentic Villa Holidays

Italy is four holidays in one, each on its own calendar. Tuscany's restored farmhouses between Florence and Siena, for the vineyards and the long lunch. The late baroque of south-east Sicily, Noto and Ragusa, with Etna a morning's drive away. Sardinia's granite coast and clear water, and Umbria, the quieter hills next door, no coast and no crowds.

Best months: May–June and September–October; the harvest weeks are Tuscany at its best
Fly into: Pisa or Florence for Tuscany, Palermo or Catania for Sicily, Olbia for Sardinia
