With wildflowers dusting the hillsides, mild sunny days, and wisteria tumbling over cobbled streets, spring is when Italy is at its most captivating.

Across March, April and May, coastal villages wake up with fresh energy, gardens burst into bloom, and the countryside is painted in vibrant spring colours. It is the ideal window to experience the country at a more leisurely pace.

For over 30 years, we’ve designed journeys that balance iconic Italian highlights with hidden regional gems. If you are looking for the most rewarding way to discover Italy, this glorious season is the answer.

Here are four unforgettable spring tours to inspire your next journey

THE ITALIAN GRANDE

18 Days | Milan to Rome

A classic journey through the heart of Italy: a private boat cruise on Lake Como, strolls along Venice's canals, a visit to the fairytale 'town of towers' San Gimignano, olive oil tasting at a Tuscan farmhouse, and three glorious nights on the Amalfi Coast.

SARDINIA & CORSICA, THE LANDS OF MYTHS AND LEGENDS

15 Days | Cagliari to Bastia

Two islands. Two very different characters. Visit over 3,500-year-old Nuraghe stone towers, wander the medieval lanes of Alghero, enjoy a shepherd's picnic lunch deep in the Supramonte Mountains, and spend three nights at the unforgettable boutique resort.

ITALY, THE DEEP SOUTH & SICILY

17 Days | Rome to Palermo

Discover Puglia, Matera and the island of Sicily. Sleep in the unique Trulli houses of Alberobello, stay within Matera's ancient Sassi cave dwellings, stand on the crater of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, and enjoy a memorable seaside seafood feast.

SICILY, MALTA & AEOLIAN ISLANDS

15 Days | Palermo to Valletta

Experience four beautiful Mediterranean islands in one journey. Cruise to the Aeolian Islands, watch Stromboli's volcanic fireworks at dusk, wander the baroque towns of south-east Sicily, and explore Valletta and the island of Gozo in Malta.
