Discover the Italy you've been dreaming of

Italy isn’t just one destination, it’s a tapestry of regions, each with its own rhythm, flavour, and charm.

At Avanti Italy, we curate journeys that honour the unique character of each place while offering a deeper, more intimate way to explore. These are not just stops on a map — they’re places to linger, taste, and connect. From iconic favourites to quiet, soul-stirring corners, this is Italy as it’s meant to be experienced: unhurried, unforgettable, and deeply personal.

Here’s a small taste of what awaits. From north to south, we design unforgettable journeys through all 20 of Italy’s unique regions.

Amalfi Coast

Cliffside glamour, sparkling seas, and unforgettable indulgence

This Italian paradise offers some of the most divine scenery imaginable. From the cascading cliffs of Positano to the sunlit charm of Salerno, the Amalfi Coast is a breathtaking ribbon of winding roads, dramatic cliffs, and pastel-hued villages that appear to defy gravity as they cling to the rugged coastline. Steep rocky slopes rush toward the shimmering sea, where small beaches and hidden coves invite moments of sun-soaked serenity. With Avanti Italy, you’ll experience the Amalfi Coast through a local, luxurious lens, where every detail is curated and every moment is elevated.

Cinque Terra

The Jewel of the Italian Riviera

Tucked along the rugged coastline of Liguria, the Cinque Terre is a dreamscape of five centuries-old fishing villages — Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore — each one more enchanting than the last. Here, colourful houses tumble down steep terraces, fishing boats sway gently in tiny harbours, and the scent of fresh pesto drifts from seaside trattorias. A place where time slows and beauty is everywhere, the Cinque Terre offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and simplicity. Whether you're hiking cliff-side trails, sailing past pastel villages, or sharing seafood by the water's edge, this region invites you to pause and truly take it in.

Rome

When in Rome, do as the Romans do

Timeless, powerful, and endlessly fascinating, Rome is a city that lives and breathes history. From the mighty Colosseum to the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica, every street corner, piazza, and ruin whispers stories of emperors, artists, and saints. And yet, Rome is more than its past. It’s a vibrant, modern capital where locals sip espresso in sun-drenched squares, Vespas weave through ancient laneways, and life moves with passion and flair.

Sicily

A land of contrasts, colour, and deep heritage

Sicily is bold, sun-soaked, and utterly captivating. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, it has long been a cultural crossroads — where Greek temples, Arab domes, Norman cathedrals, and Baroque palaces all exist in harmony. The result is a place rich in contrast and character, where every corner tells a different story. From the vibrant chaos of Palermo’s markets, the serenity of seaside villages, the volcanic majesty of Mt. Etna, or the rolling vineyards of the countryside, Sicily is a land of layers, history, flavour, and feeling.

Tuscany

Under the Tuscan Sun

Tuscany is the timeless heart of Italy, where golden light bathes rolling hills, vineyards stretch to the horizon, and Renaissance art forms the soul of the region. From Michelangelo’s David, the grandeur of Florence’s Duomo, and the masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery, this region is steeped in beauty, culture, and centuries of creativity. Beyond the art and architecture, Tuscany’s natural landscape is just as breathtaking. Snow-dusted mountains, sun-drenched beaches, and the vineyard-draped hills of Chianti create a setting that inspires rest, romance, and rediscovery.

Venice

The Floating City

Venice is a place of poetry and wonder, where stone meets water, and time seems to stand still. Built on over 100 small islands in the heart of a shimmering lagoon, this magical city is a maze of narrow alleys, hidden piazzas, and gently winding canals. The Grand Canal curves through it all like a ribbon of history, carrying gondolas past gothic facades and sun-drenched palazzi. A UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety, Venice is famed for its art, architecture, and atmosphere. Romantic, mysterious, and awe-inspiring, it’s a city best explored slowly, with intention and curiosity.

Puglia

Italy’s sun-soaked secret

Tucked in the heel of Italy’s boot, Puglia is a region of quiet charm, rustic elegance, and rich tradition. With its whitewashed hill towns, ancient olive groves, and impossibly blue coastline, Puglia offers a slower, more soulful kind of luxury — one rooted in authenticity and natural beauty.

Here, you’ll wander through the storybook streets of Alberobello, marvel at the unique trulli houses, dine beneath the stars in hidden courtyards, and swim in crystalline waters off the Salento coast. Local life thrives in every sunlit piazza, and the cuisine — simple, seasonal, and unforgettable — is among the best in Italy.

Puglia is perfect for those seeking something undiscovered yet unforgettable. A place where tradition and tranquillity go hand in hand, and where every experience feels deliciously unhurried.
