No other European country oozes chic quite like Italy.
No other European country oozes chic quite like Italy. Fashionable boutiques complement the panoramic scenery, limestone spires, supreme rock faces and mysterious gorges. Luxurious villas add distinctive Italian glamour sought after by the mountain cognoscenti. It is a spectacular sight. Cervinia is perfect for families having both dramatic Matterhorn views and abundant cruising slopes. Drop the kids off at ski school and be free to relish the striking natural vista. Italian hospitality is agreeably unceremonious. Be lured into mountain restaurants for long leisurely lunches and informal après-ski. A spicy 'valdostano' coffee will spur you to depart and re-group for evening pursuits. Classy San Cassiano, deep in the Dolomites, has a backdrop of snow-dusted forests. Sit in a cosy trattoria, drink the fine wines and savour specialities such as smoked speck, strudel and polenta. It is an auspicious find for gourmets who can delight in the knowledge that there is a trusted Michelin star never too far away. Unchained by Italy's charm, unwind and cherish the tranquil climate drifting between shops and cafés. Laze and luxuriate in Italy's exquisite Alpine character.
