Spotlight On Home in Italy

The past year has kept many families and friendship groups at a distance. But the changing Covid climate of 2021 is bringing the hope of larger get-togethers – this year and into the next. And as we haven’t been able to venture abroad for some time, the thoughts of many are turning to overseas trips. So bringing these two factors together makes complete sense. Expansive, first-class self-catering accommodation in some of the world’s finest European destinations is the answer, offering travellers a renewed sense of excitement, along with the ability to meet multiple needs and provide abundant adventurous opportunities.

Accommodating Groups In Large Self-catering Villas

Home in Italy presents guests with a home from home. Guests have exclusive use of their property, along with maid service (five-star villa packages have a full complement of staff). Its large properties can comfortably accommodate bigger numbers, as well as providing the peace of mind that comes with a self-catering holiday; travellers can remove the Covid related worries of shared public spaces, buffet restaurants and busy resorts, by booking a private rental. Just you, and those you care most about. Time to catch up, relax and explore new shores once again – in the complete safety of your chosen bubble.

Authentic Italian Luxury And Hospitality

Italy’s incredible food, wine, scenery and warm culture – as well as hot temperatures – makes it a well-loved destination for those of all ages and holiday tastes.

Choose Your Holiday Style

For those who enjoy a themed element, Home in Italy group their holidays into potential styles. Some have more of a sporty emphasis with access to a variety of energetic pursuits. Others have been chosen to provide a convenient base from which to explore the nation’s art and culture.

If privacy is vital for you, one of the secluded and peaceful properties will provide the retreat you need. Some are perched directly on the coastline, lending themselves to a sun, sea and sand beach break.
