Plenty of people dream of a destination wedding and Italy is an extremely popular destination, which makes sense – the food, the wine, the gorgeous scenery in historic towns or lush countryside locations! However, you might have a nebulous idea of an Italian wedding but haven’t quite landed on a perfect spot. If this is the case, read on as we have curated a list of five of Italy's premier wedding destinations, each with its own unique wonders that will make your big day utterly magical and unforgettable...

If you have been talking about a vacation in Rome forever or if you have been to the city before but are dreaming of going back, then we would suggest booking your villa in Rome right now – for Christmas! The Eternal City always has plenty to offer visitors but at this time of the year it is extra magical and here’s why:

The city is adorned with dazzling lights and decorations and is filled with a festive atmosphere and various activities – this makes the famous attractions and landmarks from the Colosseum to St Peter's all the more beautiful!

In the weeks running up to the big day, Christmas concerts will take place, there will be markets, restaurants will serve even more delicious feasts, bakeries will be stuffed with festive treats, shops will be selling special gifts, festive events and attractions will be held, and much more besides, giving you the chance to engage in local traditions and experience a Roman Christmas...

One of the most important things for a majority of travellers who choose to vacation in Italy is the food. The country is impossibly famous for it and for good reason. Classic Italian dishes form a backbone of the diet of people all over the world today due to the simple and often inexpensive ingredients and rich flavours that come from this cuisine steeped in hearty peasant cooking traditions. However, it’s not simply pretentious to say that the Italian food in Italy hits different, it is a fact. So, if you really love Italian food then you need to book a villa in Italy and head there for a holiday to start sampling the authentic version for yourself.

When it comes to particular dishes, each region has its own specialities and strengths but you’ll often also find that the mainstays are great no matter where you go. Take, for example, pizza. You’re sure to find great pizza in pizzerias and restaurants all over the country. But if you're a serious pizza-lover looking to really do it justice and experience it in its birthplace, Naples and Rome are the key destinations that you’ll want to keep in mind. 

We recently wrote about how to travel to Italy with your pet – what paperwork you will need, what vaccines your pet must have, how to fly with your pet in the cabin or hold, and more – for our Italy Villas blog. In that article, we also briefly mentioned new regulations that were brought in this summer, allowing bigger dogs to be brought in the cabin along with their owners but what does this actually mean for those who book a villa in Italy and are travelling with their pet by air?
