Turquoise Waters & Golden Hills:
From island paradise to countryside escape
Spend a week on the island of Ischia — a dreamy and iconic, yet surprisingly underrated little gem located in the Bay of Naples. I believe that the only reason that this island isn’t more famous is because it gets outshone by its incredibly popular neighbours: The Amalfi Coast & Capri. So if you’ve ever dreamed of an iconic Eurosummer experience on the Amalfi Coast —or have already experienced it and loved it — but are put off by the huge crowds and exorbitant prices, this is the island you didn’t know that you needed to visit.
Once you’re good and sun-drenched, you’ll head north for a relaxing stay at an agriturismo working farm in the Tuscan countryside — but first you’ll spend a couple of nights in Florence along the way to experience its charm & pick up your rental car. This will give you the freedom to explore the countryside along with its plethora of charming hillside medieval towns and wineries at your own pace.
