Holidays in Italy have been popular through the ages, though it is surprising to learn that few of these are taken in the beach resorts. Indeed, it is somewhat of a hidden paradise for Italians themselves, as many visitors content themselves with visiting the cities.
There is one beach location that has drawn the crowds for many years, and it is in Sardinia that some of the best beaches in Europe are to be found. With the Mediterranean lapping the coast, it is no wonder there is such a rich selection of resorts to choose from.
Tuscany is one of the most popular destinations throughout the country, but a move away from the beautiful countryside and hills delivers some breathtaking beaches. A worthy mention would have to be Monte Argentario.
Here in particular there are some wonderful private villas which can be rented for days or weeks at a time. Though the sea waters are inviting, the appeal of a private pool to relax in through the day or night is always welcome. Other great destinations include the beaches in Gallipoli and Sicily, where Syracuse is a always welcoming.
The benefits of a holiday in Sicily offer much more than this however, and a trip that includes the Egadi Islands is always memorable. Set in amazingly clear seas, it is no wonder the seafood here is well respected throughout the country. As we're talking about Italy; that is saying a lot!
For the most opulent of beach holidays, Viareggio on the western coast of Tuscany is amazing. Though out to the east too, in Rimini, both party animals and culture vultures are equally sure of a satisfying stay.
Holidays in Italy are always going to be a draw; such is the beauty and appeal of the culture, the people and the food. That all this can be enjoyed set amongst stunning beach locations makes it all the better.
