Five days in the Dolomites — the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the postcard alpine lake of Lago di Braies, the Alta Badia’s mountain villages, and the cable cars and trails that connect them.

Five days in Puglia — the trulli of Alberobello, the cliff village of Polignano a Mare, the white town of Ostuni, the Baroque city of Lecce, and the slow southern Italian rhythm.

Three days in Verona — the great Roman Arena (still hosting opera in summer), Juliet’s balcony, the Piazza delle Erbe, the medieval bridges over the Adige, and the long Veneto lunches.

Three days in Milan — the great Gothic Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Leonardo’s Last Supper, the Navigli canals at sunset, and the food and design scene.

Three days in Naples and Pompeii — the chaotic city of Spaccanapoli, the National Archaeological Museum, the ruins of Pompeii at the foot of Vesuvius, and the pizza that was invented in the city.

Three days on Lake Como — Bellagio at the centre of the Y, Varenna across the water, the famous Villa del Balbianello, and the slow ferry rides between the lakeside villages.

Five days on Sardinia — Costa Smeralda’s turquoise water, Cala Luna and the Golfo di Orosei, the inland mountain villages, and the beaches that don’t look like the Mediterranean at all.

Five days in Sicily — Taormina with Mt Etna in the background, Palermo and the Norman cathedrals, the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento, and the seafood that the island is built on.

Five days in Tuscany — the cypress-lined Val d’Orcia, the hilltop villages of Pienza, Montepulciano and Montalcino, and the long slow lunches at the vineyards in between.

Three days on the Amalfi Coast — Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, the famous coastal road, and a boat trip out to Capri. Lemons, cliffs, and the most photogenic coast in Europe.

Three days in the Cinque Terre — Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore — the cliff-path walks between the five fishing villages, with focaccia, swims and gelato in between.

Three days in Venice — St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, a Grand Canal vaporetto ride, the quiet Cannaregio neighbourhood, and the Murano glassblowers.
