Travel planning
Today’s savvy travelers have many resources to choose from when building and planning their trip. They often start by consulting and researching reviews, photos and videos that inspire them on where to go next!
Chianti region
Traveling to most of Italy’s major destinations can be well planned using good resources to enhance one’s knowledge and insight about what will best suit their personal needs and wants. Every visitor has their own trip defined with specific activities or places to visit, which can included admiring the watercolor views of the Chianti region.
Look to trusted friends who have been to Italy. Your social network is the greatest source on making your trip successful; they know your taste and likes! Tripadvisor reviews can also be a helpful source. But, be careful as the reviews and comments often widely vary and can leave you confused and even more undecided then when you started.
Travel technology has boomed in the past few years to include an abundance or recommendation systems like Wanderfly to Joobili. They are easy to use and provide users with personalized suggestions, events, maps and itineraries.
If you are serious about planning well, you will use a combination of your social network, customer reviews and travel technology. They provide you with the primary influences to make the right decisions on where you’ll go and what you’ll do on your next trip to Italy.
Buon Anno Nuovo!
It’s a new year, which travel destination are you headed for? If your call to adventure asks for good wine, glorious piazzas, great memories and much more… then you need to book your trip to Italy.
Most of us dream of seeing a European country that is rich in history, ruins, ancient monuments, medieval villages, houses stunning museum collections, has splendid beaches, and fabulous food. Italy is this very living historical showroom. Having received over 45 million tourists and ranking 5th on the United Nations World Tourism Organization, visiting this boot shaped country is a must do for almost everyone. Whether you prefer a city escape, adventure journey, romantic getaway, special celebration, family fun trip or last minute trip, Italy and Italy-Unique can give you all this and more.
Torre de lo Grado
Travelers can see, go and do many things in Italy in the first month of 2012 that include art shows in Milan, museums exhibits in Rome, and a chocolate festival in Mantova. If you opt for a more relaxing holiday, perhaps you may want to spend the days with a visit to the village located between Rome and Naples that has one of the longest life expectancies, or lounge at a cafè bar inside a converted convent, or dine on the Mediterranean diet that boasts using natural and fresh food. There are endless possibilities to fill your trip!
We think visiting Italy means experiencing it like a local. That being said, accommodations are a big expense in a travel budget. Rather than make the same reservation plans like always, consider trying something new and a bit more authentic, like vacation rentals. The benefits mean having access to full amenities in convenient locations, enjoying a more genuine travel with greater privacy & space and all of this without sacrificing comfort or luxury.
So take advantage of what January 2012 in Italy has to offer with 6 obvious reasons to come:
Snow and the winter sports
La Befana (Epiphany)
Not as many tourists/less crowded
Italy’s version of hot chocolate
Sales!
Many exhibits, concerts, museums
Remember that when Italy can’t go to the traveler, the traveler must come to Italy!
