Glorious cuisine, incredible coastline and over 2,000 years of history to discover
Incredible history, celebrated cuisine and iconic cities are just a few things you can expect from a luxury trip to Italy. Whether you’re looking to step back into the past and discover an ancient civilisation, dine on some of the world’s finest and most famous dishes, or perhaps cruise the coastline in search of “La Dolce Vita”, Italy is a country that truly treats, indulges and rejuvenates its visitors.
Italy encapsulates the best of European travel like nowhere else does. Each proud region has a unique identity that, combined, make Italy incredibly rewarding to explore. Our example trips include a range of authentic, fascinating and beautiful locations, beginning with one of the most historic destinations in the world, Rome. Hop from ancient landmark to grand church, only breaking to dine on delicious pizza and sip on world-class coffee, as you uncover thousands of years of mesmerising history.
Unique cityscapes and grand Renaissance triumphs reign supreme in Venice and Florence, while pristine rolling hills and incredible wines await in the gorgeous countryside of Tuscany. Coastlines and glistening shores are the order of the day in the likes of the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como and Puglia, where one can swap the hustle and bustle of the city for a gentle sea breeze and spot of sunshine. Get a taste of island living in Sardinia where idyllic beaches beckon and a variety of hiking trails wait to be explored. Those who truly want to escape civilisation and immerse themselves in nature should look no further than the Dolomites, Northern Italy’s awe-inspiring treasure, which spells outdoor adventure and exploration.
We can arrange private tours with expert local guides to help you get under the skin of this fascinating country. Speak to one of our Travel Designers about your interests and let us create your perfect luxury trip. Travelling with Jacada is a seamless experience, complete with handpicked hotels and in-depth insider knowledge.

When to visit
Italy is a year-round destination. Summers can get very hot and crowds do swell, so spring and early autumn are great times to visit. The sun is still shining and it’s much more pleasant to explore the cities once the intense summer heat has subsided.
