The Place
We don't do Rome–Florence–Venice in eight days. We do a Tuscan farmhouse for five nights, a Puglia masseria for four, an Amalfi villa for three, and one perfect day in a major city. Italy is best as a stay-put country with day-trips.

Field notes
Small things that change the trip.
Practical Italy knowledge from people who keep going back.
- 01
Don't try to cover Italy in one trip: pick a region, stay put, day-trip.
- 02
August is hot and crowded; locals leave, prices spike, we avoid it.
- 03
ZTL zones in historic centres cost a fortune in fines; we route around them.
- 04
Trains beat planes between cities, Frecciarossa first class is glorious.
- 05
Cash for tiny trattorie, card for everything else.
