Italy

Porto Ercole

Amid Italy’s romantic and world-famous Tuscany region, you’ll find Porto Ercole, a laid-back harbour town with a picturesque bay dotted with luxury yachts and fishing boats. It’s long been popular with elite Italian travellers, offering relaxed days, family-run restaurants and secluded sandy beaches. This stunning historic town is worth exploring for its maze of narrow laneways, stone houses and several important landmarks, which include a series of old fortresses, Forte Filippo, Forte Stella and La Rocca, built during an era of Spanish domination in the 16th century.

Italy

Gaeta

Set halfway between Naples and Rome, Gaeta is on a headland that juts out into the sea, making for sweeping views up and down the coast. It remains one of the hidden gems of this region and a popular weekend getaway for Italians. As well as its beautiful beach and abundant fresh fish, Gaeta is best known for Montagna Spaccata (Split Mountain), a natural sea grotto and 11th-century sanctuary. According to tradition, the mountain split apart at the moment of Christ’s crucifixion, leaving three dramatic fissures plunging into the sea.

Italy

Sorrento

The much-loved resort town of Sorrento is perched dramatically atop cliffs that overlook the Bay of Naples, boasting stunning views of Mount Vesuvius across the water. An impossibly romantic haven, Sorrento bewitches with its elegant Italian villas, world-class restaurants serving up mouth-watering cuisine and fragrant lemon groves which contribute to the production of limoncello – famous the world over. Get a glimpse into its storied past as you explore grand cathedrals and palazzos built of warm golden stone, then sit down at a cafe to watch the world go by.
