Tuscany has a volcanic island? And even more so, did you know that Napoleon spent a year here during his first exile? That’s right! It's called the island of Elba
The tower of Pisa is not the only leaning tower? It is the most known, but the Campanile San Michele degli Scalzi and the Campanile of San Nicola (both also in Pisa) are at least as leaning.
Tuscany is the region of origin for a plethora of sayings? Just think of the famous Pinocchio story, a delicious ‘gelato’, the well-known saying ‘all roads lead to Rome’ and even the Italian language! All of these have their origins in Tuscany
Seven monuments in Tuscany have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status? That is even more than Australia and South Africa put together!
That San Gimingnano has the best ice cream in the world?
TheAmalfiCoast
TheAmalfiCoast ataglance
The Amalfi Coast is a unique region located in the province of Salerno and the Campania region in Italy
These romantic villages are located south of the Gulf of Naples and are a popular holiday spot among Italians, but also among other foreign tourists
The Amalfi Coast has a wide variety of charming pastel-coloured villages that cosy up the mountainside, delicious Italian food, the necessary amount of ‘mundane’ hidden beaches, and so much more
Since 1996, this entire coast has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List because of its rich cultural history and rugged nature In our eyes, this region is a real Italian dream spot, so let us take you on this Italian adventure!
Lemonsand limoncello
Lemons grow in abundance from trees clinging to the cliffs of the spectacularly beautiful Amalfi Coast These Amalfi lemons possess a unique sweetness that is the result of a combination of the volcanic soil, year-round warm temperatures and a perfect amount of rain
In the kitchens (cucine) of every ristorante, trattoria or home along this divine coast, lemons are part of the life of the locals and are used for everything from cooking, to cleaning, to beauty treatments As always, nothing is wasted in Italy
And of course, there is also an alcoholic drink brewed from these yellow fruits, limoncello!
The story goes that fishermen and farmers used limoncello to keep themselves warm, which is why homemade limoncello's still contain a very high alcohol content
Mountainside villages
Coastal villages seem to rise out of the sea and to be hewn from the rocks The many houses in the villages have all kinds of bright colours that, together with the surrounding forests, form a true painting.
All buildings are surrounded by terraces, vineyards and gardens Lemons, olives, grapes and flowers fill the air with a divine smell Narrow streets are covered with pebbles and of course there are a lot of stairs; endless stairs
Fromcastletohotel
Along the jagged coastline you will see many rocky points with (ruins of) old castles and fortresses
There are quite a few of them, but there used to be many more Many of these buildings have been bought up and turned into hotels.
And what hotels they are ! They have the most beautiful sea views and are often built with the most luxurious materials You often pay at least €1,000 for a night in one of these
