Welcome

Another year has flown by with Typically Italian and my love affair with this beautiful country grows. For 2013 we are adding Elba to the family as well as some wonderful new properties while still staying true to our firm beliefs and values and using traditional family run properties that give added service and charm. For 2013 we are working closely with our properties to try to give more flexibility on durations and arrival dates, we are working with more airlines offering different departure dates and more regional flights so to give you extra savings. I personally believe that all holidays should be sold with 100% financial protection. With Typically Italian Holidays we are fully protected by ATOL and ABTA. From a complete package to accommodation only, your money is safe with us. So we look forward to you booking your next trip and enjoying a Typically Italian Holiday. Buon Viaggio !!

Daniele Broccoli Director

Local representatives and agents As this is a tailor made program for seasoned travellers we have no local representatives. We have local agents in Italy who can give any necessary help and guidance and can always be contacted. You will not be visited in your accommodation. Please remember that wherever you are, most of the hotels’ managers, owners and receptionists are often keen to help you with local information. Any problem you experience must be reported locally so that we are given the opportunity of solving them. If you cannot reach our local agent then do not hesitate to contact our 24/7 emergency number.

100% financial protection

ABTA No.W6934

Our Prices As all our holidays are tailormade, we have adopted a flexible pricing policy based on individual airline fares which now, as a result of changing airline industry, fluctuate on a regular basis. We have shown a range of indicative prices for our featured accommodation and will quote the accurate price on application. This price will reflect the latest prices and any offers from hotels.

Taylor made holidays For holidays or hotels not featured in this brochure or of a longer duration and more complex itinerary please ask us for a quotation. From walking, cooking, wine tasting, painting for individuals to groups, we can arrange all types of packages and multi-centre with flights, trains, car hire, private transfers or accommodation only.

All roads lead to Rome… Let’s fly... Typically Italian is pleased to work with most airlines that fly to Italy from national carriers to low cost airlines. With over 300 flights a week from UK to Italy this means we can offer you more choice and even better value with total flexibility.

Let’s drive... With today’s many options to cross the channel and Europe’s modern road system, taking your own car to Italy has never been easier. In no time you will be touring those Italian roads and filling up your boot with wine and goodies for when you get back home.

Naples Sorrento

Palermo

It’s easy, comfortable, scenic, surprisingly quick and environmentally-friendly. In fact, it’s amazing that some people still think you have to fly, and remember you only need 1 hours check-in and there is no luggage allowance! The Eurostar from London to Paris takes 2 hours 25 minutes, then travel by high-speed TGV train from Paris to Turin or Milan arriving in the evening. Next morning, Italian Frecciarossa high-speed trains whisk you from Milan to Florence in 2 hours and Rome in 3½ hours or take a Frecciabianca train to Venice in 2½ hours.

Lecce

Messina Catania Syracuse

Or you can take an afternoon Eurostar from London to Paris, then the direct Thello sleeper train to Milan, Verona or Venice, arriving the next morning.

Please note that Eurostar is only bookable 4 months prior to departure. Italian trains are not bookable until 90 days prior to departure. 002 Intro.indd 5

Montecatini Terme The town of Montecatini Terme is world-famous for its spas, springs and thermal baths. The baths and spas date back to the 14th century and nowadays there are nine fully-functioning ‘terme’ spread around the town. Elegant, peaceful and relaxing, they make for perfect resting places. Enjoy a glass of enriched water, or take the plunge for the full treatment ... you will be in illustrious company. Previous visitors include Rossini, Verdi, Orson Welles, Clark Gable and assorted European royalty. Verdi was particularly taken, searching for eternal youth each year for 25 years. The town also has many art galleries and antique shops and is famous as the Tuscan capital of Liberty Style.

Fiesole Fiesole is a pretty town in the scenic hills above Florence with Etruscan roots, Roman ruins and spectacular views of Florence. During summer the Roman Amphitheatre holds outdoor theatre and music performances as part of Estate Fiesolana. Summer concerts are also held in the Castel di Poggio. Fiesole holds an antique fair on the second Sunday of every month. For centuries Fiesole has been the favoured retreat of Florentines during the hot summer months and it still provides cool summer air and magnificent views. The main sights are the Roman theatre and baths, as well as the Duomo of Fiesole, and there are many splendid villas in the area. Some are hotels and some are open to visitors. The most famous and the prototype Tuscan villa is the Medici at Fiesole.

Chianti offers a unique landscape, with green, gentle hills covered with wide fields of vineyards and olive groves, small stone villages, characteristic parishes and countryside homes in stone.

San Gimignano San Gimignano is a small, walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany. It is mainly famous for its medieval architecture, especially its towers, which may be seen from several kilometers outside the town. The town is also known for the white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, grown in the area. It served as an important relay point for pilgrims travelling to or from Rome on the Via Francigena. The patrician families who controlled the town built around 72 tower-houses (some as high as 50m) as symbols of their wealth and power. Although only 14 have survived, San Gimignano has retained its feudal atmosphere and appearance. The town also has several masterpieces of 14th and 15th Century Italian art.

Lucca Imagine a beautiful little Tuscan town protected by massively thick 16th Century walls, featuring some of Italy’s finest medieval and Renaissance architecture, superb dining, antique markets, classical and rock music festivals and easy access to stunning nearby villas in the surrounding hills. Add to that endless beaches less than half an hour away and it’s no wonder Lucca is one of Tuscany’s best-kept secrets. A wealthy and colourful town, it is sufficiently off the beaten track to have kept its civility and reserve. Lucca is a city of merchants who know how to woo the visitor and the shopper, but the pace of life varies between slow and slower.

Chianti The Chianti area in Tuscany is one of the most beautiful in the whole region, as well as the best known, and is appreciated by visitors from across the world. The borders of the Chianti area are not clearly defined, but in general it extends over the provinces of Florence and Siena, covering all of the area between the two cities and extending to the east toward Valdarno and to the west to Val d’Elsa.

Siena Is it the best preserved medieval town in Italy? You decide! Siena is the perfect counterpart to Florence. Largely enclosed by ancient walls and with a Gothic cathedral which dates from the 12th Century, this is a city which invites you to explore each square and narrow street. Start at the Piazza del Campo, where the spectacular Palio horse race is held on July 2 and August 16. Age-old rivalries are rekindled as bareback jockeys from Siena’s 17 districts contest the race, and there are hundreds of bars and restaurants. Try ribollita, a vegetable soup or a wild boar stew. Best-known of Siena’s desserts is panforte, a calorific bomb usually made from nougat. Florence is easily reached by train, and the Chianti countryside is waiting to be discovered if you hire a car.

Val d’Orcia The Val d’Orcia, or Valdorcia, is a region of Tuscany which extends from the hills south of Siena to Monte Amiata It offers a landscape of never-ending hills, interspersed with torrents, ravines, rugged outcrops and river banks which are broken up by the gullies and picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza, Radicofani and Montalcino. Thanks to its incredible historic and cultural value, the Orcia Valley has been recognised by UNESCO, who designated it a World Heritage Site.

Pomaia Pomaia itself, is a small medieval town amidst the green hills of Pisa and belongs to one of the most beautiful Tuscan countrysides. The old core consists of small houses and a church square. Because of the Tibetan-Buddhist monastery of Lama Tsongkhapa this idyllic spot is famous throughout the world. The breathtaking monastery is like a little Tibet in the middle of Tuscany, where the Dalai Lama is frequently a guest.

Riparbella Riparbella sits in a beautiful position on the southern slopes of the Poggio di Nocola. Standing on a hill, like every town of ancient origin, Riparbella is distinguished by a view of rare beauty. A mixed landscape of woods, olive groves, vineyards and countryside reflect the agricultural origins of the town. Opposite is an open view to the sea with a peek of Elba and Capraia on the horizon. Don’t miss the historical town centre that rises around the medieval castle and dates back to around 1000AD. The Town Hall and the church of St. John the Baptist are interesting to visit. Riparbella’s gastronomic offerings include a series of typical Tuscan dishes based on game, good wine and typical products coming from the breeding and cultivation of local farms.

Greve Many people believe there is a romantic and magical aura surrounding Greve in Chianti. This small town owes its reputation mainly to the fact that it is right in the middle of Chianti Classico and is one of the main producers of wine in the region. Greve is different from many other Tuscan towns because it has no fortifications, no medieval buildings and it is not positioned on a hilltop! Greve lies down in the valley, and the town is arranged around an irregular town square with charming, sheltered colonnades under which there are restaurants, cafés and various tourist shops all the way round.

Radda A tiny town with a typical Tuscan medieval town plan perched on a hilltop, which serves as a natural boundary between the Pesa and Arbia valleys, at 533 metres above sea level. The town is so picturesque that they can’t keep visitors away. Everyone comes here to admire the stunning views across the vineyards and enjoy the marvellous food and drink. The town belonged for a long time to the aristocratic Guidi family, who had to concede it to the Province of Florence in 1203. It was thoroughly fortified around 1400, and you can still see parts of the fortress.

In Gaiole in Chianti, in what was once a 15th century mill, the Hotel L’Ultimo Mulino is a charming property where tradition lives in perfect harmony with the very latest in modern technology. Following a restoration project, the rooms of the old mill have been transformed into attractive spaces. Hotel L’Ultimo Mulino has an open air swimming pool overlooking the surrounding countryside and a terrace where, in warm weather, breakfast and lunch are served al fresco. Inside, there is a large lounge area, which offers a unique atmosphere to complement the building’s centuries old past. Bedrooms are decorated in soft, neutral tones which perfectly complement the original architectural features of the old building, many of which are still clearly visible. The rooms are

all equipped with the usual comforts of a 4 star hotel; heating, mini bar, air conditioning, telephone, satellite TV, hairdryer and safe. A number of rooms boast particularly appealing features such as whirlpool bath, private terrace and patio-garden opening out onto the Tuscan countryside. The hotel can also organise excursions, as well as wine tasting and cooking classes.

To me this hotel has everything, charm, sophistication and history and to top it off a great location in the middle of Chianti. The stone effect and the wooden beams are a wonderful feature.

Podere La Pieve Vecchia is an old farm dating back to the late 18th century. The now completely restored farm buildings sit peacefully in the Tuscan hills around Riparbella and maintain the old charm and atmosphere of their original state. The farm has wonderful gardens and is surrounded by olive trees giving that real country feel, yet it is only 4km from Riparbella and 14km from Cecina, where there are sandy beaches and large pine forests. All 37 apartments are stylish and well furnished and are situated on the ground floor, first floor or split over both. Each has satellite TV, phone, safe and a garden with table and chairs. Amenities • Children’s playground • Swimming pool • Tennis court • Bicycle rental • Small restaurant Car hire is recommended.

For me this ticked all the boxes for a family holiday. Space and a nice pool area, but not too far from the beach. Spacious apartments, simply furnished with the added bonus of a good restaurant in the grounds. I would recommend the ravioli in ragu.

An 18th Century country house lovingly converted into an upmarket hotel, the Casafrassi is a few miles from Siena, off the road to Florence, surrounded by the beautiful Chianti countryside. Far from being a conventional hotel it takes in a villa dating back over 200 years and several former farmhouses in the old village, a cloister and chapel from an ancient monastery are also part of the experience. Siena is about seven miles away and easy to visit, car hire is advisable. The Casafrassi is also a great base for sports and activities, including walking in the surrounding forests. In keeping with its rural traditions, the hotel also produces its own award winning Chianti Classico wine, extra virgin olive oil and pork. The hotel’s own restaurant serves fresh local dishes in the former lemon house or on the terrace in summer. Enjoy wine tasting and pick grapes from the vine just yards from your room. All 25 rooms have wide spaces and high ceilings, overlooking the green panorama of vineyards and olive groves, and are equipped with

During its long and glorious history, Vicchiomaggio Castle has hosted various famous artists, including Leonardo da Vinci and Francesco Redi. Leonardo stayed at the castle while he was painting his masterpiece, Monna Lisa. Francesco Redi, a member of the Accademia della Crusca (Florentine Literary Academy), wrote CATELLO VICCHIOMAGGIO

Marina di Pietrasanta The seaside resort of Marina di Pietrasanta with its broad sandy beach, 5 kilometres long, gently shelving into clear seas as backed by pinewoods gives a feeling of spaciousness even during the crowded periods. Behind the seafront avenue its shady tree-lined streets, elegant buildings and green parks and gardens are home to the shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. Whilst on holiday in Marina di Pietrasanta you are close to the old town of Pietrasanta which is renowned for its artists and poets. Viareggio Viareggio is the southernmost Italian Riviera style resort on Italy’s Mediterranean coast and the largest beach town in Tuscany. Art nouveau buildings housing shops, cafes and seafood restaurants line its promenade. There are two beautiful pine forests on either side of the town, allowing all kinds of activities sports and games or you can relax in the healthy clean air. Viareggio holds one of the largest and most celebrated carnival festivals in Italy, drawing over a million people. The elaborate parade, running along the seafront promenade, is usually held the three Sundays before Carnevale, the day of Carnevale (Shrove Tuesday), and the Sunday following. Cittadella Jazz and More is a festival of concerts during summer from mid-June through Mid-August. Theatre and dance performances are held during summer, too. Lido di Camaiore Lido di Camaiore is a charming and modern beach resort of the historical centre of Camaiore. It is situated in a quiet zone of the sea between Viareggio and Marina di Pierasanta. This place has become famous for the wide beach with its fine and golden sand. The views are beautiful with fertile hills and the peaks of the Apuan Alps standing out in the deep blue sky. A lively promenade brims with shops and bars and family-run trattorias lure you in with the tempting aroma of good home-cooking. Cecina Mare Cecina Mare with its sandy beach and crystal water lies on the south coast of Livorno, alongside pine woods extending on over 13 km and offering wonderful walks and bike rides. This lively little town offers mini-golf and many restaurants serving Tuscan food and wines. And on Sundays there is always a traditional market with local and regional products.

Cecina Mare is an ideal base for the exploring Pisa, Florence, Volterra and Siena, or take a boat trip to the Island of Elba. No doubt that Cecina Mare is the ideal beach resort to suit families. Tirrenia It is lovely to find a stretch of Mediterranean pine forest that hides a beach resort, a place where no building has been allowed on the shore. Whoever comes to Tirrenia is struck by the beauty of the forest. If you want to reach the shore from your hotel, you have to walk through the cool shade of pine trees and find the large beach and blue sea. After all day sunbathing you can take a stroll amongst the shops and have a typically Italian gelato (ice cream).

Elba Elba is the biggest island of the Tuscan Archipelago and the third largest in Italy after Sardinia and Sicily. Together with eight other islands, including Giglio, Giannutri and Montecristo, it is part of the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago, the largest marine park in Europe. The island of Elba is famous around the world for harboring French Emperor Napoleon in 1814 during his exile. But its history goes back to prehistory, with the Ilvati tribe from Liguria who named the island Ilva. It was then inhabited first by the Etruscans and later by the Romans, who really appreciated the island and its rich deposits of iron and its mud baths.

This property was formally an ancient Umbrian convent that has now been lovingly transformed into Villa Paradiso. Set in an estate of around 30 hectares, principally made up of olive groves, Villa Paradiso is situated on the top of a hill with breathtaking views of the entire Umbrian Valley. The city of Foligno is just 2km from the villa and can be easily reached via the main road. In Foligno there are numerous restaurants, a bank, supermarket, post office, pharmacy and petrol station.

On the other side of the cloister there is a large kitchen with access into the garden where there is a large table with chairs and umbrella for al fresco dining. The kitchen is equipped with cooking range, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, electric oven and a small laundry area.

The restoration has been sympathetically performed maintaining all of the original features, including a small now deconsecrated chapel. Accommodation in the main building is set over two floors. On the ground floor the ancient cloister has maintained its original function as the entrance to the villa, from which there is access into a living room with elegant dining area with French doors to the garden. The living room features a fireplace, sofas, satellite TV, DVD player and a reading room with armchairs.

In the ancient stall and barn of the convent there are two apartments each with lounge with sofas, satellite TV, DVD player, a kitchenette with cooking range, electric oven, kettle and toaster. Each apartment has two bedrooms - one double and one twin – and a bathroom with shower.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms - one double, one twin and one single. There are also two bathrooms, one with shower and one with a bath.

Portico di Romagna

Cesena

The small medieval town of Portico di Romagna was founded in ancient times and is located on the border between Romagna and Tuscany. The centre of the village is typical, with the ruins of the old castle, narrow, winding streets, fortified walls and a river which runs through with natural pools and a waterfall. Horse riding, cycling or hiking in the surrounding hills are some of the more popular pastimes. It is also within easy reach of National Parks or the stunning Adriatic beach resorts. The village still retains its medieval appearance and is divided into three parts: the upper part with the castle and the parish church; the middle part with the aristocratic houses from the 13th and 14th Centuries inhabited by Romagna and Tuscan nobles who escaped here from political fights; and the lower part with the houses of craftsmen with their workshops.

Cesena, which is only about 10 miles from the Adriatic Sea and at the foot of the Apennines, was also a Roman settlement and dates back about 100 years before the founding of Forli. Its castle dates from 1380 and its Gothic cathedral from about 1500, and it also has several monasteries including one which is now a gallery. Some of the ancient walls remain, and the Church and Monastery of Osservanza dates from 1460 is well worth a visit. The Capuchin Monastery is still a place of peace and contemplation standing above the city. Like most cities in Italy, Cesena enjoys its festivals. The festival of St John in June each year honours its patron saint, and events devoted to agriculture, gastronomy, music and sport also give the city plenty of character.

Faenza Faenza, situated on the main road from Forli towards Bologna, is a beautiful medieval town which is famous throughout Italy for its ceramics. The tradition of decorative ceramics goes back more than 600 years, with a large collection in the International Ceramics Museum not only from Italy but from other exotic parts of the world. Ceramics also adorn many of Faenza’s historic buildings, and wandering around the medieval piazzas is a delight as you take in the atmosphere.

Parma Parma is an elegant and welcoming city with a centre rich with art, parks and treasures from different ages. It offers a feast of art, architecture, culture, haute couture, gastronomy and has been voted the “City with the highest standard of living”. It is surrounded by green hills, themselves dotted with castles, and the river Parma runs across the city. Bars, boutiques, shopping centres, restaurants and hotels cater for its growing number of tourists. The Piazza Garibaldi lies at the heart of Parma, A statue of Garibaldi, the Governor’s Palace and the Town Hall, both dating back to 1673, are located in this square. The Duomo, a bell tower and the baptistery nestle close to each other, each a superb example of the architecture of its kind, while The Battistero or Baptistry, made of pink marble, is an octagonal building and a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Parma is also known as the food capital of Italy, having given to the world two sublime items of cuisine – Parmesan Cheese and Prosciutto Ham.

Ravenna Ravenna is truly a city that sums up all things Italian – a beautiful, historic and cultural centre which at the same time manages to have lots of fun. Situated in the north of Romagna and linked to the nearby Adriatic Sea by a canal, it was once capital of the Western Roman Empire and an important centre of early Christianity. Roman, Gothic and Byzantine rulers have all left their mark, and from the Piazza del Popolo you can set out to discover a manageable and very likeable city where you won’t be overcome by tourist hordes. Among the many museums is San Vitale, a 6th Century Byzantine basilica with fine mosaics. Also look out for Spirito Santo church with its 16th Century portico, and the Venetian Brancaleone Castle, dating from 1457. Above all don’t miss Dante’s Tomb, resting place of one of Italy’s greatest poets who wrote The Divine Comedy. Ravenna has some wonderful places to eat, and special events which include the Festival of Music in June/July. Being close to the sea (Marina di Ravenna and Punta Marina being the nearest resorts), it’s a good choice for families, and Ravenna also boasts a major entertainment park, Mirabilandia, open in summer with 44 attractions to choose from. It’s a complete day out – or more – for all the family.

Perugia As the capital of landlocked Umbria, Perugia a perfectly preserved, historic town dominating the Tiber Valley from high on a rough hill inhabited ever since prehistoric times. Today Perugia is a modern and cosmopolitan city proud of its historic traditions and beautiful buildings. You will find layer upon layer of history still in use alongside our hectic modern world. Renaissance palaces have been turned into shops and modern escalators put into mediaeval remains. Despite a rich heritage and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, in summer you can visit without tourist hordes. The Arts are very important within the city. The famous painter Pietro Vannucci, was a native of Perugia. He decorated the local Sala del Cambio with a beautiful series of frescoes. Today Perugia hosts a 10 day jazz festival in July and in October the whole town goes chocolate crazy during the nine-day event, Eurochocolate.

Spoleto One of the most beautiful Italian mediaeval towns, dating back to the 3rd century BC. Developed on the original Roman road connecting Rome with Rimini, the many different regimes of rule have created the city’s diverse architecture producing the perfect combination of art, culture and history. The Duomo, also known as the church of Saint Peter, has one of the most elegant façades in Umbria from the 5th century. Spoleto is known for its love of the arts. Don’t forget the famous Spoleto festival, a celebration of dance, theatre, opera, music and the visual arts all showcased at the Festival of Two Worlds held every July and August.

Assisi The town is great for wandering and exploring. Its narrow and steep lanes are picturesque and full of hidden restaurants, faded frescoes and stunning views. After the earthquake it suffered in 1997, Assisi has been carefully rebuilt and restored. For hundreds of years Assisi has been dominated by the unpretentious figure of St. Francis, whose followers filled the little town with churches, monasteries and shrines. Assisi’s churches are numerous as are the Roman excavations, which can be seen in the town’s little museum. As well as archaeological finds the museum gives access to a tunnel running under the modern piazza. Here you walk on the original surface of the Roman Forum. For the best views over the town visit the Rocca Maggiore, a large fortress towering above Assisi and providing a spectacular view over the surrounding hills and valleys.

Citta della Pieve At the centre of the mediaeval village, still today encircled by the walls of the 13th century, the narrowest streets in Italy can be found. The churches and palazzi were built of red brick within a fairly short span of time, from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance. The church Duomo dedicated to the Saints Gervasio and Protasio rises high above the ancient roofs accompanied by the gothic Romanesque bell tower. Inside the church, works can be found by two great painters from Città della Pieve and other works of the Renaissance.

Sorrento

Naples

Sorrento is situated on a plain above the sea, overlooking the Bay of Naples. The view from Sorrento stretches back to the north, encompassing Vesuvius, the city of Naples and the island of Ischia. It has a pretty old town, a harbour with ferry departures to Capri, Amalfi and Naples, and is within easy reach of the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Herculaneum and the city of Naples. There is some good walking in the peninsula and plenty of restaurants and bars. The tourist focal point is Piazza Tasso, where tables and chairs crowd the central square, which is built over a gorge. Please note that there aren’t many actual beaches in Sorrento; sea access is generally via wooden or stone bathing platforms at the foot of the cliffs.

Naples is the largest city in South Italy and one of the most beautiful, particularly around the Bay of Naples. To one side is Mount Vesuvius, and near to the bay are the pretty islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, which all lend themselves to day trips. Naples city centre is compact and full of grand palaces, impressive churches, monasteries, convents, castles and other splendid buildings. The Napoli Sotterranea is a fascinating series of underground tunnels, passageways, stairs, rooms and halls, right in the heart of Naples Naples stretches along the waterfront and throughout the city there are many squares, parks and gardens. The shopping centre in central Naples has a wide variety of retail outlets trading in the four glass-roofed arcades. The lively markets are also a great place to find a bargain, full of atmosphere and Italian market banter. There are countless restaurants, cafés and bars in Naples, and many afford great views of the city and bayfront.

Sant’Agnello A couple of kilometres east of Sorrento, on Campania’s Sorrentine peninsula, the little town of Sant’Agnello occupies a delightful position. With the Mediterranean on two coasts you’re never far from the sea, while Sant’Agnello itself is a pleasantly quiet little place - the hotels nestling amid greenery between the hills and the sea. With mighty Mount Vesuvius brooding on the horizon, you have the blue waters of the Bay of Naples to the north. Sant’Agnello is a quieter alternative to staying in the centre of Sorrento to which it is connected by regular buses along Corso Italia from Piazza Tasso. It also has its own train station (just off Piazza Matteotti) linking it with Sorrento and via Pompeii and Herculaneum, Naples. There are restaurants and bars around Piazza Sant’Agnello and near the coast, with great views. There is the Chiesa (church) Frati Cappuccin and La Tenuta della Cocumella.

Maiori This typically Italian resort has a maze of narrow streets, whitewashed houses, ancient walls that once guarded the town from the Romans and the beautiful domed Santa Maria church which offers a chance to view the world-famous carving of the Madonna and Child. Wander a little further and discover the romantic 10th century monastery perched above the town and admire its age-old frescoes and chapel. During the daytime, the main activities revolve around the beach, swimming and watersports. The long sandy shore gently shelves into the calm waters of the Bay of Salerno bordered by a tree lined promenade with a large fountain feature and crammed full of ice cream bars, pizzerias and bars. In the evenings, there are many authentic trattorias to enjoy traditional Italian cooking, with menus offering fresh seafood and steaks to pizza and pasta. If you have a sweet tooth, you must try Maiori’s delicious traditional chocolate cake, made with almonds, pine nuts and, believe it or not, aubergines!

Pompeii

Naples 55km

Hotel Diana is a small, friendly hotel conveniently situated in the heart of Pompeii’s historic centre, just 300 metres from the entrance to the ruins of the ancient Roman city, perched on the lower slopes of the still-active Mount Vesuvius.

Comprehensively renovated not long ago, the hotel has 22 simply yet elegantly furnished rooms all spotlessly clean and fitted with ensuite facilities, air-conditioning, direct-dial phone line, satellite TV, and internet modem link.

One of Italy’s most popular tourist attractions, the 65-hectare archaeological site created from the volcanic ash from the eruption in 79AD offers visitors a remarkable insight into everyday life in ancient Roman times. Chariot tracks are still clearly visible on the ancient cobbled roads and exquisitely preserved colourful wall paintings bear witness to the vibrant culture of Roman times.

Amenities • Bar • Breakfast room • Garden • TV room • Parking • TV room • Luggage storage

Puglia

If you have already toured the northern part of Italy and are looking for something equally fascinating, completely different and much less crowded, then consider Puglia, or Apulia as it is called in English, is Italy’s boot heel, its southeastern most region. Gateway to and from the East, it has been conquered by legions of foreign rulers. One of which was Frederick II (1194-1250), the last Emperor of the Hohenstaufen line. An enlightened man, he built many castles which still grace the region, along with acres and acres of vineyards and olive groves.

Apulia produces one-tenth of the wine drunk in Europe; and its olive oil is renowned. Traditionally both of these commodities were mainly used to dilute their finer counterparts up north, but lately the local food artisans have begun creating some first-rate oils and vintages that are

ieta

It offers at least one excellent archeological museum, a host of cathedrals dating back to the 10th century, several deserted - and thus highly atmospheric - Greek and Roman ruins, a gleaming necklace of lively fishing villages, one of Europe’s largest forests, a chain of medieval hill towns, and some of the very cleanest beaches and water in the Mediterranean. It also has its own subspecies of architecture, called barocco leccese. Characterized by extremely ornate carvings that cover the entire surface of churches and palazzi, its apex is reached in the delightful little city of Lecce.

Fasano The town of Fasano is situated in an extended area with olive trees and its territory extends from the hills to the sea with rich Mediterranean vegetation. Among some of the places of interest in the surrounding area are the Selva di Fasano, today a garden with villas, original trulli houses and the zoo safari Fasanolandia, the first of its kind in Europe. Coming down from the hills, the town of Fasano occupies a dominant position in the valley which then leads down to the sea. The coast is characterised by a peaceful atmosphere that prevails despite growing tourism.

Lecce Lecce is to the Baroque as Florence is to the Renaissance. It is famous for its wealth and fine examples of Baroque architecture. Here and there are magnificent churches and palaces, and the local cuisine show traits of the Arab, Spanish and Greek dishes. The local dialect has many similarities with ancient Greek. The Baroque Holy Cross church, situated in the centre of the old town is definitely worth a visit, as is the Roman Amphitheatre, built in the 2nd Century AD and situated nearby Sant’ Oronzo Square.

Gallipoli Gallipoli, from the Greek Kallipolis meaning beautiful city, is a fishing village on the coast in southern Italy’s Puglia region. It has a good old town and is linked to the mainland by a 16th century bridge. The old town is picturesque and a nice place to stroll through with its maze of alleys. The 17th century Baroque Sant’ Agata Cathedral is in the centre of the town and several interesting churches are along the perimeter of the old town facing the sea. The walls and bastions surrounding it are believed to have been built in the 15th century to fend off attacks, especially from pirates. The walls were altered in the 19th century permitting beautiful views of the sea, port, and harbours. The pretty port is still used by fishing boats and restaurants serve fresh seafood. Sea urchins are a specialty of Gallipoli. A sandy beach, Spiaggia della Purita, lies on one side of the old town, outside the walls where Private boats can dock in the recently-built tourist harbour.

The Il Palmento Resort offers unique accommodation in traditional stone buildings where you can enjoy a relaxing stay in the Itria Valley. The hotel consists of 30 trulli, the typical Apulian buildings made of white stone. While renovating this ancient resort all the original features have been kept using the same materials which used to be employed in the past.

Amenities • Bowling green • Car/Bicycle hire • Children’s play area • Beauty centre/massages • Laundry • Multi-use sports court • Private parking

I never realised the charm of a trulli until I went round this beautiful, stylish property which has lovely rooms and great grounds. It makes a wonderful choice.

Car hire is recommended.

Despite the ancient history of the hotel and its location, it provides customers with all modern comforts. All rooms have a telephone, satellite TV, safe, mini fridge and air conditioning. In this charming hotel, customers will find two outdoor swimming pools with hydromassage, steam sauna and Turkish bath. The welcoming restaurant offers fine traditional Apulian cuisine.

To our minds, Italy’s dark horse is unquestionably Sicily, cursed by an unfair Castellabate stereotype that vanishes almost the minute your plane sets down or your boat Pollica touches the shore. Speak to anyone about anything and you will be met with a Ascea Taormina smile that manages to be shy and dazzling at the same time.

Miles and miles of vineyards rivaling any in Tuscany or Piedmont, endless olive groves sprouting from emerald-green carpets of grass, veritable forests of shiny citrus and fruit trees, rugged silver mountains, all against a backdrop of the deep blue sea. Sicily has a massive amount of world-class art, ranging from Greek to Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, French and Spanish, and some of it enjoys the most astonishing setting, abandoned on a hillside or nestled into a deserted cove. There is something very ancient about Sicily, more than in Rome or Ravenna or Pompeii, and the thing we like the most about it is its unpretentiousness, the matter of fact, day-to-day atmosphere that turns all this history into a landscape as natural as a prickly pear blooming alongside a country road.

Taormina The picturesque historic centre of Taormina is perched on the cliff top complete with castle, cathedral and cluster of chic shops and piazzas full of cafes. From Mazzaro Beach the town with its pedestrianised streets can be reached effortlessly by cable car. This attractive and permanently fashionable little town has locals and visitors alike showing off their finery as the cafes and bars wake up at night. During the day you can wonder at the view of the coast and Mount Etna. If you decide to visit in the less crowded off season months of March, April and May, you will enjoy the sunshine (usually) and also enjoy the beauty of the spring flowers and take advantage of the uncrowded streets and best tables in restaurants.

On the only main street in the town of Porto Empedocle, you will find a few interesting shops, some bars and restaurants. Outside the city, you can visit the magnificent Valley of the Temples which is one of the most impressive classical sites in Italy.

Giardini Naxos The thriving town of Giardini Naxos with its old fishing harbour is a popular holiday resort on the site of the ancient Greek colony of Naxos. The whole area is of great historical interest, with many archaeological sites and just 8km from Taormina. Those who venture to the top of the hill will enjoy stunning views.

Siracusa This pleasant town lies between two natural harbours on the eastern shore, with more than enough to occupy the busiest tourist for at least a couple of days and a great base for exploring the south-eastern corner of Sicily. The historic old town centre of the city, Ortigia has been appointed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the outdoor market here is one of the most amazing places to visit with fresh fish, vegetables and fruits. The maze of narrow mediaeval streets leads you to the beautiful Piazza del Duomo home of the ancient baroque Duomo. Standing tall on the tip of the Ortigia Island is the impressive Castello Maniace which once protected the harbour and enjoys the most amazing views out to sea.

Palermo

After decades of Mafia domination, Palermo’s cosmopolitan character is now emerging, creating an exciting European capital city. Situated on the North coast known for the best beaches, a lazy day in the sun may tempt you away from the elegant shopping streets lined with exclusive boutiques. The ancient and enchanting old city is divided by winding alleys lined with vibrant outdoor markets with an incredible mix of cultures, architectural styles and culinary flavours.

Porto Empedocle Porto Empedocle is an important fishing and trade port in South-western Sicily, situated on a peculiar limestone hill. In its historic town centre, you will find numerous narrow and winding streets that offer many sites worth exploring. Among the most popular points of interest

Visitors can choose between numerous restaurants and shops or try any of the various sporting facilities available, such as windsurfing, tennis, squash or trekking.

It is no stranger to wealthy and famous visitors and even royalty has dashed through the streets of Cadenabbia, with guests such as Queen Victoria, Nicholas II of Russia and Pope Pio XI. Today visitors can walk among these beautiful gems or view them from a distance walking around the lakeside promenade or from a boat. Despite its small size you can still partake in sightseeing, stop for gelatos and coffees, shop and people watch.

Milan was the Western Roman Empire’s capital for a short but significant 109 years. But for most northern Italians, Milan is the country’s heart. Milan is the engine room of the country’s economy and home of its stock exchange, yet it isn’t driven by tourism. Treasures that survived WWII’s extensive damage include its elaborate cathedral, Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, La Scala opera house and Castello Sforzesco. What really sets Milan apart, though, is its creative streak. You won’t be dashing from street to street ticking sights off a must-see list, as in Florence, but cultural gems are hardly few and far between. The restored Duomo is a majestic Gothic folly that took half a millennium to complete. But the city’s charms can also be understated: there are pleasures

in its dusty churches, on the narrow streets of the Brera district, and in courtyards glimpsed through wrought-iron gates. Armani, Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci, Gucci and many more took off on Milan’s runways. Fashionistas make a pilgrimage here to shop at the designers’ flagship stores in the Quadrilatero d’Oro (Golden Quad). Boutiques stocking emerging labels and chic concept shops also line the city’s streets, while discount outlets selling samples, seconds and last season’s cast-offs are a bargain-hunter’s Holy Grail. The city also harbours some lesser-known attractions such as the Navigli’s canal-side cafés and oldfashioned gelaterie (ice-cream shops) and the funky design district of Isola.

gardens. The city’s old castle, Castelvecchio, is a famous attraction in its own right too, built by the powerful della Scala family in the middle Ages and restored in the 20th century by worldfamous architect Carlo Scarpa.

Verona is a lively city with the Old Town, framed by the River Adige to the north, east and west, as the picturesque centre for cultural activities, tourism, shopping and nightlife. You will find most of the best restaurants here too. Known by most for its Roman amphitheatre, the Arena, one of italy’s largest and the home of its annual summer opera festival, Verona also boasts one of italy’s finest Romanesque churches as well as one of the country’s most beautiful Renaissance

Arguably, however, the reason behind Verona’s thriving tourist industry has less to do with architecture or history than with literature William Shakespeare’s romantic and tragic play about the young lovers Romeo and Juliet is set in the city, and such is the power and resonance of this story that every year a stream of tourists flocks to Verona to visit the famous courtyard and balcony at Casa Giulietta (Juliet’s House) on Via Cappello in the Old Town.

the most memorable sights is Rialto Bridge, a ten-minute walk away, where you cross the Grand Canal. Venice lives and breathes history and character at every turn, and almost every house is a palace. Shop with the locals or in elegant boutiques; discover the many museums and churches; ride on a water-bus; splash out on a meal on St Mark’s Square or find a better value restaurant in a secluded square. Whatever else you do, you must experience a gondola ride – with or without a serenade! Go off-season when the crowds are sparse, even in winter Venice is atmospheric. In summer enjoy the sun at the Lido or nearby resorts, and at any time of year take a cruise to the nearby islands of Murano and Burano, famed for their glassware and handicrafts.

The word unique has been applied to cities all over the world, but for Venice it really is true. Nowhere on earth compares with this wonderful city of canals and slowly crumbling antiquity, but the phrase “see it now before it disappears” is partly true. Rising water levels threaten the old city, situated on an island and separated from the mainland by a bridge. The only “roads” in the old city are canals, from the broad thoroughfare of the Grand Canal to the many byways to discover. The excitement starts as you are transferred by waterbus or water-taxi from the airport or railway station, and that excitement never leaves you.

The hub of all this activity is St Mark’s Square, with the Basilica and Doge’s Palace, but one of

Boasting one of the country’s great medieval cityscapes – an eye-catching ensemble of red-brick palazzi, Renaissance towers and 40km of arcaded porticoes – Bologna is a wonderful alternative to the north’s more famous cities. Italy’s culinary capital, it’s an attractive, animated place; and a large student population (Bologna boasts the oldest university in Europe) ensure a vitality that’s so often missing in many of Romagna’s smaller towns. The Via Indipendenza is the heart of Bologna, with some restaurants decorated by the beautiful frescoes of the Carracci brothers. In the evening the city comes alive in the streets around the grand Piazza Maggiore, full of bars, pastry shops, ice cream parlours and restaurants. Night life thrives with theatre, opera and nightclubs and many of the shops open late too. It’s a wonder the students find time to study!

P isa

Once a maritime power to rival Genoa and Venice, Pisa now draws its fame from an architectural project gone terribly wrong: its iconic Leaning Tower. But the worldfamous tower is only one of a trio of Romanesque splendours on the green carpet of the Piazza dei Miracoli – a serious rival to Venice’s Piazza San Marco for the title of Italy’s most memorable square. Pisa has a centuries-old tradition as a university town and swarms with students. Possibly of Greek origin, Pisa became an important naval base under Rome and remained a significant port for many centuries. The city’s so-called golden days began late in the 9th century, when it became an independent maritime republic and a rival of Genoa and Venice. The good times rolled on into the 12th and 13th centuries, by which time Pisa controlled Corsica, Sardinia and most of the mainland coast as far south as Civitavecchia. Most of the city’s finest buildings date from this period, when the distinctive Pisan-Romanesque architectural style flourished.

The Chianti area, between Florence and Siena, has some of the most beautiful countrysides in Italy and is famous for it’s fantastic wines.

Florence is an open-air exhibition of art and culture. It is famous worldwide, the heart of the Renaissance period and the home of the fine arts and literature. Florence has powerful symbols of Italian and European culture in every nook and cranny, to the extent that it is hard to identify this city with just one symbol. It may be the sculpture of David by Michelangelo, or perhaps the romantic Ponte Vecchio, or Giotto’s bell tower, but Florence could also be represented by famous people such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo or Dante Alighieri, to name but a few.

How do you begin to describe the Eternal City? Rome is a world-class capital by any standard, and unique as it takes in the Vatican City, a self-governing state and the heart of the Roman Catholic church. Wherever you look there are reminders of a glorious and sometimes scandalous past. The magnificent ancient monuments, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the forums are still part of everyday life and make Rome a living museum. Climb the 137 Spanish Steps to gaze over the narrow, cobbled streets crammed with Renaissance and Baroque buildings, fine palaces, countless churches and famous fountains. Visit one of the many pavement trattoria and watch the world go by or scour the elegant boutiques with Rome’s most avid shoppers. There’s so much to see that you need to pace yourself and not try to cram too much in, but you must cross the River Tiber to enter the Vatican state, home to the Pope, to see St Peter’s. The Vatican complex houses 10 museums and masterpieces such as the Sistine Chapel and St Paul’s Basilica. If you feel like taking a risk try putting your hand in the Mouth of Truth to test your sincerity, or throw a coin into the Trevi fountain. Either way you are sure to make a return visit to this wonderful city.

GENERAL INFORMATION Airport Hotels

We have details of hotels close to departure airports and would be happy to give you a quote and make a booking for you.

Airport Parking

Italy tourist tax

Tourist taxes have been introduced in many areas of Italy. The amounts vary between region and hotel star rating. They are payable by customers locally at the hotel. Tourist taxes are generally up to 5€ per person per night (often with reduction for children). Our reservation team will be pleased to give current details on your chosen hotel.

We have details of car parks at all our departure airports and would be happy to give you a quote for the duration of your holiday and make a booking for you.

Hotel Photographs

Baggage

Infants

On many flights the baggage allowance has now been reduced to 15 kilos per person in the hold and between 5-10 kilos for hand luggage. Some low cost carriers now charge for taking luggage, priority boarding and check-in. Please check the restrictions of your chosen carrier at the time of booking. There is no allowance for infants – always check if you are unsure.

Banking

Many of our hotels have individually decorated and styled rooms, therefore the hotel room photographs are set as an example only. Cots and highchairs are available in many hotels please request at the time of booking. In some cases a small local charge may be made for hire and linen.

Insurance

It is our company policy that clients traveling with us are required to insure against all holiday risks.

The Euro is the currency in Italy. Banks are open Monday to Friday 0900-1200 and 1400-1600. Cash machines are not widely available, but many hotels offer an exchange facility.

We recommend that you take with you an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) which can be obtained through the Post Office or online at www.dh.gov. uk/travellers as this can help to lower excesses.

Beds

Languages

Beds and cots in accommodations do vary in size and comparison to the UK. Some doubles may be two adjoining single beds or Austrian twins. Child beds may be pull out or put you up beds, smaller than an average single bed.

Disabled Passengers

If you are disabled, please contact our reservations staff who will be able to suggest the most suitable accommodation according to your requirements and mobility. Collapsible wheelchairs are accepted on the flights, provided we receive notification.

Driving Abroad

Italians prefer their mother tongue, although English is widely spoken and understood everywhere.

Passports & Visas

A full British passport, (valid for at least 6 months from return date) is required for all holidays in this brochure. At the time of going to press UK passport holders do not require a visa for our destinations. Holders of non UK passports should check with their travel agent or the relevant embassy or consulate. We cannot accept responsibility for passports and visas. We advise you to take with you the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) obtainable through the Post Office or online at www.dh.gov.uk/travellers.

You are required to drive on the right hand side.

Health and Safety

All hoteliers are required to meet local health and safety standards and fire regulations. You should be aware that standards and regulations vary in different countries and may not compare to the generally higher standards set in UK establishments. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with the emergency fire procedures within your chosen accommodation. Doctors and chemists are available locally and are advertised in daily newspapers or at the reception. We do recommend that clients obtain a DoH leaflet on Health of travellers and those under medication should ensure they take a plentiful supply and if possible, with a letter of confirmation from the doctor. Pregnancy Note: Air regulations state that women 28 weeks or more into pregnancy, at the time of return travel, must have a certificate of fitness to travel. Normally, after 32 weeks permission to travel is refused (check with insurers too).

If you are travelling with a pet this must be advised at the time of booking and well in advance of travel. It is your responsibility to provide all the necessary documents and make all the arrangements to satisfy all legal requirements. Failure to do so will prevent your pet from being permitted to travel.

YOUR CONTRACT IS WITH Britaly Travel Limited, a member of ABTA. Trading as Typically Italian Holidays 1. Your Holiday Contract You can make a booking with us through your local Independent Travel Agent. Once we know your requirements and have checked availability, we will tell you the up to date price of your chosen holiday. Before the booking is confirmed we reserve the right to increase or decrease the cost. When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. At this point we will issue you with a confirmation number and a contract will exist. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. We will then send you a confirmation invoice verifying the details and prices of the holiday booked. Please check the details of the invoice carefully and contact us immediately if there is any discrepancy. ALL HOLIDAYS AND OFFERS ADVERTISED IN THIS BROCHURE ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. 2. Your Financial Protection We provide full financial protection for our package holidays, by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 6872. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists the flight, accommodation, car hire and/or other services that are financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). We provide full financial protection for our travel arrangements that do not include a flight by way of a bond held by ABTA The Travel Association. 3. ABTA We are a Member of ABTA, membership number W6934. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of this contract. The scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently. It is a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you for costs. The upper limit on claims is £5,000 per person and £25,000 per booking form. The scheme doesn’t apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. It can however deal with claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within eighteen months of the date of return from holiday. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com. 4. Your Holiday Price 1) We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. 2) When you make your booking you must pay a deposit of £180.00 per person. Should the travel arrangements be on a low cost carrier or on a restricted saver ticket the payment for this part of your booking will be due for payment in full at time of booking (any cancellation or changes to ticketed flights will result in a full loss) and will alter the deposit due. The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 12 weeks before your departure date. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit. All monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on our behalf at all times. Payments made directly to Britaly Travel Ltd made by MasterCard, Visa, American Express will incur an additional processing charge of 2%. The price of your travel arrangements was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 24/08/2012 in relation to the following currencies: Euro 1.2 The Price Policy The price of your travel arrangements may vary due to changes in transport costs, including the cost of fuel, scheduled airlines and other cost changes which are part of the contract between the airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates. Government action, such as VAT and other changes mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. In the case of a small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges will be absorbed or retained. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more that 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the change mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that

travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. 5. If You Change Your Booking If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £40.00 per person, per change, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements (e.g. flight tickets purchased from low cost carriers or restricted tickets) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. 6. If You Cancel Your Holiday You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent on your behalf must be received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown in clause 7. Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. 7. If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you or your travel agent of them at the earliest possible date. We also reserve the right to cancel your holiday in the event of a major change and will inform the travel agent as soon as reasonably possible. However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 10 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If we are unable to provide the booked travel arrangements, you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us; if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). In accordance with EU Regulations we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We do this by providing you with written confirmation as soon as the booking is confirmed. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change. Other examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard.

The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so. Force Majeure: This means that we will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport. 8. If You Have A Complaint If you have a problem during your holiday, please contact the relevant supplier (e.g. your hotelier, airline, car rental supplier etc) and our resort representative immediately (contact numbers are provided with travel documents) who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint cannot resolved, then you must contact our Emergency our of hours service (number can be found within travel documents) to inform us of any problems. Matters can most easily be resolved for you on the spot, when the supplier can see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. It is unreasonable not to take any action whilst on holiday and then complain. If you are still unsatisfied please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer Services Department at 8-10 London Road, Peterborough, PE2 8AR giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you.

It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question as well as to our representative without delay. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract. 9. Our Liability to You If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury and illness, shall be limited to a maximum of twice the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to (a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and (b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices Britaly Travel Ltd, Britaly House, 8-10 London Road, Peterborough, PE2 8AR. Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in this contract. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport Users’ Council on 020 7240 6061 www.auc.org.uk 10. Personal Injury unconnected with your booked travel arrangements If you or any member of your party suffers death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your package travel arrangements or an excursion arranged through us, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs, benefits received under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5000.

11. Passport, Visa and Immigration Requirements Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. If we or your carrier are fined as a result of you holding incorrect documents, you will have to pay us the full amount.

Your responsibility We want all our customers to have an enjoyable holiday. Please remember that all clients are responsible for their own actions and the effect they may have on others. If we (other persons in authority) reasonably believe a customer’s behaviour is disruptive or affects others, is threatening or abusive or is likely to damage property, we may end that customer’s holiday. This could mean that the customer will be prevented from using the accommodation or transport arranged. If this happens we will not pay compensation or meet expenses incurred as a result. This brochure is our responsibility, as your tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit the airlines mentioned herein or any airline whose services are used in the course of your travel arrangements. Please note that in the accordance with Air Navigation Orders in order to qualify for infant status, a child must be under 2 years of age on the date of its return flight. 13. The brochure Description of the facilities provided at the hotels and all information are in good faith and every effort has been made to ensure their accuracy. However it is possible that hotels, restaurants and spas (over whom we have no control) may wish to change their facilities (e.g. pools may be closed for maintenance). In some cases the operation of air-conditioning or central heating is at the discretion of the management or the local laws. There may be a charge for some facilities, for example TV’s, safety deposit boxes, sunloungers, parasols, tennis courts, pool tables and air-conditioning. In some places during high season (and even at other times) there is a possibility you will be disturbed by noise from less considerate groups, so please bear this in mind when choosing you destination and accommodation. All distances provided in this brochure are approximate and may alter due to the route taken. Public holidays or religious festivals may also effect the operation of resort or hotel facilities. 14. Tourist tax Many Italian towns and cities have decided to introduce a Tourist Tax. All visitors must pay this tax. The tax is not included in the cost of the accommodation. It is an additional charge which must be paid directly to the hotel. The hotel will collect the tax on behalf of the local council. The rate of the tax varies from place to place. Please enquire for further details.
