Welcome
They say “time flies when you’re having fun” - and enjoying what you do. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than finding new, family run hotels and people really enjoying their holiday in 2014. I have added a few more great hotels and, after popular demand, expanded our product in the Puglia region. After spending a few weeks in Italy, re-visiting hotels and discovering new experiences, our new programme is even bigger and better than ever. Our team always try to go that extra mile to make sure guests experience that one hundred percent Italian feel. We always choose our hotels very carefully and this year Trip Advisor has kindly given us permission to use their Certificate of Excellence award and Travellers Choice award. Out of over 200 hotels over 140 were awarded one of them for 2013 and the rest was just one step away from the award, which gives us fantastic satisfaction. This year we have tried to give you more flexibility so you can go where you like for as long as you like so the holiday you choose becomes totally yours. For your next trip to Italy pop in to your local travel agent and between us we will book you a truly authentic Italian Holiday and at the same time give you complete financial protected with ABTA and ATOL. So we look forward to you booking your next trip and enjoying a Typically Italian Holiday.
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.
Buon Viaggio !! Daniele Broccoli - Director
Local representatives and agents
100% financial protection 4
ABTA No.W6934
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 whenever 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 out local agent then do not hesitate to contact our 24/7 emergency number.
Tailor 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. We can also arrange all types of packages and multicentre: 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 the 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.

Eurostar Scenic Route with hotel Zurich Scenic route via Paris-Munich sleeper Paris-Milan TGV trains Paris-Italy sleeper trains Connecting trains The ferry alternative
Bari Brindisi
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 6 months prior to departure. Italian trains are not bookable until 90 days prior to departure.

Grand Hotel - Cesenatico Brian H - London, United Kingdom “Typically Itallian, food, hospitality, first class.” “My wife and I recently spent 8 days in the Grand Hotel Cesenatico. We booked through ‘Typically Italian’, Our welcome at the hotel was exceptionally warm and friendly. Our room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Reception staff were always friendly and helpful.”
Villa Campestri - Tuscany bnowlin, Minnesota “Learn about olive oil at the source!” “Villa Campestri was a highlight of our trip to Tuscany. We were also in Florence and Siena. This place was built in the 1200’s and is full of history. The olive oil lesson and tasting started under a 200 year old olive tree and progressed down into the tasting room in the main house and to the oil processing building.”
Hotel Canal Grande - Venice Ruth719, London, United Kingdom “Simply superb!” “Booked for a special birthday weekend and special is what the Canal Grande certainly is! Fantastic location, friendly and attentive staff who couldn’t do enough for you and a beautiful room! Book the Santa Lucia suite for a wow factor, 3 levels with top one being your own private roof terrace, simply superb!”

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.
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.

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 can be seen from several miles 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.
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.
Poggibonsi The town of Poggibonsi, immersed into the heart of Valdichiana, is one of the “classic” Tuscan dream places: rich in culture, art, traditions and with blessed beautiful monuments and landscapes. The splendid San Gimignano and Monteriggioni are just a few miles away. Must sees include the Church of San Lorenzo, meeting point of Charles VIII of France and Girolamo Savonarola to discuss the future of Florence and the Sanctuary of Romituzzo, with a splendid “Madonna della Neve” (1300) by an unknown author.
Capannori The Municipality of Capannori is located in Tuscany and spreads out in the plain of Lucca for 16,550 kmsq, making it one of the largest rural municipalities in Italy. The territory presents a central flat area and two hilly sections towards north, in the proximity of the Pizzorne Plateau, and towards south, where Mount Pisano rises. There are plenty of things to see including the Acuaduct of Lorenzo Nottolini, the Angel of Leonardo, The Tower of Sant’Andrea and the natural springs. The larger more famous Tuscan town of Lucca is nearby.
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.

Marina di Pietrasanta The seaside resort of Marina di Pietrasanta with its broad sandy beach, 3 miles long, gently shelving into clear seas, 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 near the historical centre of Camaiore. It is situated in a quiet area 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 8mls 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 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.
Forte Dei Marmi Forte dei Marmi is located along the northern Tuscany coast between the Marinas of Ronci and Pietrasanta, in an area known as Versilia. Forte dei Marmi offers a great Wednesday market that deals in designer clothing, among other things.

Forte dei Marmi is a low key beach resort aimed at wealthy Italians. It was one of the first beach resorts in Italy, begun at the turn of the century and becoming instantly popular with royalty and the rich “beautiful people” who still flock to villas in the pines.

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. What really makes Elba famous and renowned are its clear and blue sea and beautiful beaches. The extraordinary richness of its landscapes, both land and marine, turns the island of Elba into a unique destination in Tuscany In addition, Elba is the perfect place for outdoor sports and activities. Among the most appreciated sports, there is diving and snorkeling in Elba, thanks to its rich seabeds housing lots of different species of fish. But outdoors lovers can also enjoy spending time on land hiking and mountain biking, enjoying a round of golf, a day of sailing or enjoying days of complete relaxation at the thermal baths of San Giovanni. These are just a few of the many things you can do in Elba!

Romagna is a slice of Northern Italy which has much in common with its famous neighbour on the other side of the Apennines, Tuscany. It has the same rolling countryside, but with beaches facing the Adriatic rather than the Mediterranean. It has historic cities, traditional villages and relaxing thermal spas. What it doesn’t have are the crowds. Tires

The cuisine and wine of the region are remarkable. This is the homeland of one of the greats in Italian Gastronomy, Udine Pellegrino Artusi, who has inspired generations Trentoof chefs. Home-made pasta and piadina – a delicious flatbread with all kinds of tempting fillings – are complemented perfectly by fine local wines such as Sangiovese and Albana.

Portico di Romagna
Faenza
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.
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.
Cesena 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.

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.

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 any 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 miles 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.
Amalfi Amalfi sits in the ravine of the Valle dei Mulini. It is hard to grasp that pretty little Amalfi, with its sun-filled piazzas and small beach, was once a maritime superpower with a population of more than 70,000. For one thing, it’s not a big place – you can easily walk from one end to the other in about 20 minutes. For another, there are very few historical buildings of note. The explanation is chilling – most of the old city, and its populace, simply slid into the sea during an earthquake in 1343. Today, although the resident population is a fairly modest 5000 or so, the numbers swell significantly during summer, when day trippers pour in by the coachload. Its churches, towers and arcaded houses are grouped together with attractive irregularity, rising above a small harbour.
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!

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 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.
Monopoli Sitting on Puglia’s Adriatic coast around 30km south of Bari, Monopoli is a lovely town where you can mix a dip in the sea with a good lunch and a wander around the old town centre. Like so many towns on the Adriatic, Monopoli’s history has been thoroughly influenced by its east-facing position and its fortified sea-front walls and castle tell many a story.
Ostuni Rising high above the vast olive-carpeted plateau of the lower Murgia, Ostuni has long been an awe-inspiring sight for those traveling across Puglia. Strong defensive walls and tumbling clusters of white-washed houses wind around
the hillside, at the top of which, proudly surveying the surrounding land, sits the magnificent Gothic cathedral. First founded by an indigenous tribe some 600 years before Christ, Ostuni’s long and varied history saw it pass from the Romans to the Ostrogoths, from the Lombards to the Saracens, from the Byzantines to the Normans, from the Hohenstaufen to the Angevins and from the Aragonese to the Bourbons. Traces remain from each domination but most of what visitors can see today dates from between the 1400s and the 1700s. The most distinguishing characteristic of Ostuni, and the reason for it’s taking the epithet La Città Bianca, is its uniformly white buildings.
Otranto Otranto is Italy’s easternmost town. But it is much more than just that: its mix of history, architecture, views, sea-front restaurants and white sandy beaches makes it one of Puglia’s most interesting, charming and picturesque towns. Otranto sits right on the Adriatic Sea, gazing out across its eponymous strait towards the Balkans and Greece, a strategic position that has profoundly influenced its history. In Roman times, it became an important commercial port - there was a significant Jewish population of traders - but also a departure point for Roman military expeditions to the east, as testified to by two marble pillar bases recording the transient presence of Emperors Lucio Vero and Marco Aurelio. For a period Otranto even overshadowed Brindisi.

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 Marsala 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.
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 4mls from Taormina. Those who venture to the top of the hill will enjoy stunning views. The long town beach gently slopes down towards the sea with parasols and sunbeds and a wide range of watersports available for hire, while the nightlife revolves around the many bars, nightclubs and excellent restaurants serving fresh fish brought in on the many local boats daily.
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 medieval 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 is the famous Cathedral which stands beautifully on the foundation of the temple of Jupiter dating back to the 6th century B.C. 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.
Marsala Best known for its sweet dessert wines, the historic centre of Marsala is an elegant town full of stately baroque buildings and bookshops within a perfect square of walls. It was founded by the Phoenicians who escaped the Roman onslaught at
Mozia. Not taking any chances, they fortified their city with 7m-thick walls, which ensured it was the last Punic settlement to fall to the Romans. In AD 830 it was conquered by the Arabs, who gave it its current name, Marsa Allah (Port of God). It was here in 1860 that Giuseppe Garibaldi, leader of the movement for Italian unification, landed in his rickety, old boats with his 1000-strong army – a claim to fame that finds its way into every tourist brochure.
Ragusa One of the most fascinating towns in Sicily, Ragusa has caused many a visitor’s jaw to drop as they first set eyes on the lower part of the town. Essentially Baroque, the Ragusa you will see today dates almost entirely from 1693. Indeed, it was in this year that Ragusa, along with its neighbours, Noto, Modica, Scicli and Catania, was razed to the ground by a terrible earthquake that hit most of the eastern side of Sicily. Public opinion on where to rebuild the town was divided, and so a compromise was made. The wealthier, more aristocratic citizens built a new town in a different site, now Ragusa “Superiore”, while the other half of the population decided to rebuild on the original site, on a ridge at the bottom of a gorge, now Ragusa Ibla.
Marina di ragusa Marina di Ragusa is located on the Mediterranean coast of the island of Sicily, directly opposite the island of Malta. Once a small fishing village, the development of the port area and opening of the marina in 2010 has seen this once sleepy place turned into a popular beach resort. The renovated town centre is adjacent to the marina and is fronted by beautiful beaches, crowded in summer, quiet in the off season. The surrounding area features beautiful historic baroque towns, a “must” visit. The marina has space for over 700 yachts and according to feedback from cruisers who have made comparisons; this is currently the most affordable marina in Italy, possibly the entire Mediterranean, for wintering.
Agrigento Surrounded by green, Agrigento curves around Sicily’s oldest tourist site (the Valley of the Temples, or Valle dei Templi), first put on the map by Goethe in the 18th century. In ancient times, Pindar declared that the people of Akragas were ‘built for eternity but feasted as if there were no tomorrow – nowadays the modern town, with its savvy inhabitants, has more in common with the character rather than the aesthetics of its ancient counterpart. Overshadowed by the new city on the hill above it, the splendid Valley of the Temples loses much of its immediate impact and it is only when you get down among the ruins that you can appreciate its true monumentality. Modern Agrigento is one of the most lively cities in Sicily and, disquietingly, has been known to harbour a number of notorious Mafia families.

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

Monthly average temperature, Bologna (in degrees celsius)
Boasting one of the country’s great medieval cityscapes – an eye-catching ensemble of red-brick palazzi, Renaissance towers and 25mls 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!

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 world-famous 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.

Florence, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science. 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.

Monthly average temperature, Rome (in degrees celsius)
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. 10 1

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to 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).

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 £20.00 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.

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 price of your travel arrangements was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 14/08/2013 in relation to the following currencies: Euro 1.15
The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.
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
210
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.
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. (c) 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. For up to date UK Government health & travel advice please visit www.fco.gov.uk, www.hpa.org.uk and www. bathnac.org and contact your GP. NAMES GIVEN TO US SHOULD MATCH THOSE ON YOUR PASSPORTS. 12. 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.
