you can visit time and time again and still want to return to. Any of Europe’s destinations are perfect in

beach resorts and sophisticated cities; stunning lakeside hideaways
and countryside retreats. Portofino, famous for its idyllic pastel-
painted harbour and dotted with stylish yachts, contrasts with the
selection of stately resorts of Lake Coma and Lake Garda. For the
classic sun-drenched Med there’s the Amalfi Coast (Positano and
Ravello) and Sorrento – the centrepiece of Italy’s Adriatic Riveria.
Then there are the cities: romantic Venice, lively Rome and elegant
Florence – all perfect for weekend breaks, or combining with a
coastal or lake holiday. Away from the mainland are the islands:
Capri, ‘Playground of the Rich and Famous’, is enchanting, awash
with pretty cafés, restaurants and the very best designer boutiques;
while the glamorous Costa Smeralda, on Sardinia, is host to some of
the world’s most luxurious yachts. And, of course, Sicily – considered
one of Italy’s most cosmopolitan destinations and home to a variety
of cultural attractions, intriguing towns and dramatic scenery,
including Mount Etna.
