Holiday 2011 - Top 3 destinations

Italy is one of our favourite destinations. We love Umbria, with its rolling hills, sparkling lakes and medieval hill towns, and little-known Le Marche for its luscious countryside and beautiful villas. Or head south to Puglia where you can stay in a five-star masseria or a luxury self-catering trullo with pools. For old-school Italian glamour it’s hard to beat the Amalfi coast.


The Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia have great beaches: we recommend Forte Village in Sardinia and Verdura Golf & Spa Resort in Sicily.

Greece is all about simplicity: sun, sand, traditional cooking and great hospitality. For families, we recommend Sani Resort on a spectacular stretch of beach on the mainland. Paxos is a simple, laid-back island that doesn’t even have its own airport, while Crete offers great beaches and lots to do. Avoid the package resorts and stay at one of these gorgeous boutique hotels.

Spain has many great beach destinations. We like the coast of Catalonia for fishing villages, quiet coves and mountains, but if you want long stretches of fine white sand and dunes, rent a villa on the Costa de la Luz. The Balaeric islands of Mallorca and Ibiza both have wonderful beaches – just avoid the low-rent resorts. You know the ones we mean.
