Finding it hard to choose between Italy and Croatia this summer? Well, why choose at all? With the opening of a new train route between the two countries – taking in gorgeous views and passing through Slovenia along the way – for less than ten euro this summer, you can easily enjoy both destinations at once! Whether you’re interested in booking a vacation rental in Italy for some of your time and then hopping on the train to a holiday rental in Croatia or you’re just looking to plan a day trip to Croatia during your vacation in Italy then this is excellent news.

Read on to discover the second part of in our two-part series aboout the filming locations and sights and to go beyond Campania and find Ripley’s (2024) other destinations that you can visit on vacation in Italy.

Following on from the last post, we have been charting the adventures of the titular character of Ripley as he explores Italy. In episode three,  Ripley and his friend, Dickie, go on a trip to the town of Sanremo, in Liguria, a leading tourist destination along the Italian Riviera. Amidst the tense scenes, it is still possible to see the seaside charms of the town – the elegant buildings, the palm trees waving in the breeze, the lovely beach along the seafront, the pretty streets, and more. You might even take a cue from the characters and rent a boat for a trip, though hopefully in more pleasant circumstances! All is possible should you book a holiday rental in Liguria and come explore the delightful Sanremo for yourself.

Continuing to showcase Italy’s charms and cinematic beauty, Netflix’s Ripley released on the 4th of March 2024 on Netflix only adds to the endless reasons to book a villa in Italy as soon as is physically possible. Using our comprehensive guide to the filming locations and destinations of the show, plan your own chic adventure in Italy but do note that there may be mild spoilers from things implied so read on with caution if you have not finished it yet!

Netflix’s new limited series, an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1995 novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley, once again showcases some of Italy’s most remarkable destinations, though with a gritty and Hitchcockian filter. Anthony Minghella’s 1999 movie adaptation of the same name, starring Matt Damon and Jude Law, elegantly displayed the laconic pleasures of holidays on the coast in the south of Italy as well as the cosmopolitan delights of her most famous cities while Ripley opens with some rather ominous shots of details of Rome’s lush and plentiful architectural and sculptural figures.

Here at Easy Reserve, we really care about our customers’ opinions and feelings. In order to ensure guests continue to have perfect getaways with us, we pay close attention to reviews. 

Reviews are also helpful for future guests, whether they have never booked with us before and want to know what to expect from Easy Reserve or they are curious about a specific property (even if they have booked with us before) and want to know what previous renters thought. 

Reading reviews is one more way to help you find the villa of your dreams, whether you are thinking of a villa in Tuscany to enjoy her stunning scenery and rich culture, a relaxing holiday rental in Crete, a sunny getaway and a vacation rental in Mallorca, or a villa in Rome to see the Eternal City – no matter what you want, we can help you find it along with the help of previous renters. 

To help you get started, here is a collection of just some recent reviews of some amazing vacation rentals that our customers loved… maybe one of them is the right one for you!

There is, of course, no shortage of incredible beaches to choose from along the famed Italian Riviera but if you book a villa in Liguria and you are after a perfect sandy beach for a day by the sea in the area then you might actually have a little bit more trouble. This is a beautiful stretch of coast, marked by the pretty, colourful clusters of buildings climbing up from the azure waters that are the towns of the Cinque Terre and the striking craggy cliffs lapped by the waves that make up most of the Italian Riviera. So, while it is certainly picturesque and a place full of lovely spots to swim, typical sandy beaches are less common. However, if you have found a vacation rental in Liguria and are after a traditional perfect sandy shore then the Spiaggia di Fegina is an ideal option!
