Italy is known for its outstanding beauty, something which has recently caught the eye of the British press. The daily newspaper, the Guardian, has highlighted 3 particular Italian destinations in a feature about the most relaxing and peaceful places to visit in Italy. The spotlight is on Val Badia, Roero in Piedmont and the Maremma area in Tuscany. Let's see what all the fuss is about!
Val Badia, South Tyrol
This one is for mountain lovers, as the Guardian highlights the area of Val Badia in Trentino-South Tyrol. Here, the enchanting peaks of the Dolomites stand out in this area which is a favourite destination for winter sport lovers. However, summer also offers wonderful hiking and biking trails away from the crowds, not to mention the fact that trying the typical products of the area is a must.
Maremma, Grosseto
Moving to the coast, the Guardian highlights the Maremma area of the Tuscan coast. The natural park of Maremma stands out and is just a stone's throw from the former fishing village of Castiglione della Pescaia. For those who love the sea, this is the perfect peaceful destination for you. Don't miss out on Punta Ala, one of the most beautiful coastal towns recommended in the area.
Roero, Piedmont
To conclude, the Guardian also mentions another area in the North of Italy: that of Roero in the province of Cuneo. In these lush green surroundings, you can even camp among the vineyards, while a visit to the beautiful town of Bra is recommended, as is a tour of the small shops in the old town centre.
