Neighbours Italy and Croatia lay claim to some of Europe’s most stunning cities and landscape. We’ve rounded up our best holiday offers from this Adriatic duo to help you plan your perfect break.
Italy evokes images of rolling green hills with ancient hilltop villages and pinstripe vineyards, beautiful stretches of coastline, stylish islands, dramatic lakes, and everything from historic cities to floating ones. It promises to combine history, culture, art and cuisine all in one unforgettable trip.
The Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromées, undoubtedly the most exclusive hotel on the shores of Lake Maggiore, represents elegance and luxury, paired with first-class facilities and enchanting views of the Borromean Islands and the Alps. Ideally situated just a few minutes' walk from the centre of the picturesque town of Stresa, this wonderful hotel opened in 1863 and has hosted a number of prominent guests, including Ernest Hemingway and Clark Gable.
Croatia is a country that's big on natural beauty. Its interior is a patchwork of vineyards, forests, olive groves and lakes, while along the coastline you'll find white-pebble beaches, beautifully clear waters and a generous sprinkling of pine-clad islands. The main cities, Split and Dubrovnik, tick all the boxes when it comes to al fresco dining and age-old sites.
We've been finding people their own slice of paradise for 50 years, and like to think we're pretty good at it.
