From the silvery crests of the Alps to the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, Italy’s beauty is unparalleled. A visit could mean marveling at the Colosseum after a tender plate of pasta, or drifting lazily down a canal, your belly full of local Sangiovese. Explore Tuscan vineyards and olive groves or drool over boutiques in fashionable Milan. Look for mermaids from the cliffs of Sorrento or nibble on Parma’s famous cheese and prosciutto. Anywhere you choose, the country will captivate you.

Cefalu Club Med is Sicilian art
We stayed in this truly exquisite resort earlier this month. We really appreciated the personalised welcome upon arrival with a glass of prosecco and intro to the resort with a tour to our room. The grounds are lovingly manicured and picture perfect. Our villetta was also perfectly maintained and the views from the terrace, beautiful. We sampled all of the restaurants, each of which provided a great standard and variety of food. During the day the riva bar by the sea is a must and at sunset, the Palazzo terrace restaurant is delightful (you need to book for the latter). The staff genuinely seem to love their jobs and are so friendly and helpful. The GO’s put on a great show in the evening, what a talented bunch! We saw a Bridgerton themed performance and a Queen tribute act while there. There is a dress code in the eve that is recommended which we initially wondered how many people would actually adhere to - it turned out to be quite fun with most people joining in, though it’s not overly serious. There is a helpful path just outside the entrance to the resort which leads you straight down some steps and along the beach promenade to Cefalu town (est 20-30 min walk)- definitely worth a trip. Also, if you just need a few essentials, there’s a pretty decent supermarket just over the road from the resort. I read a few reviews highlighting that this is a very French resort, exercise classes in French, language spoken in restaurant etc. Indeed it is - as Brits we were one of very few non French guests, which, given our French is not fluent, did make it a little challenging for us to understand a few things at times. But, that’s our fault for not speaking another language fluently! It did mean we had to brush up a bit on that. Thank you very much to the team at Club Med Cefalu for a lovely holiday.

I spent two days in the Atlantic with my boyfriend, great position in front of the beach, nice welcoming from the receptionists and good breakfast ( with all the covid precautions). I would advice a better soundproofing because we could hear everything that was happening in the corridor. Good hotel to spend some days away from the caos.

Centered on the eastern coastline of Sardinia, in the ex province of Ogliastra, Perdepera Resort is named after the beach on which is stands on the outskirts of Cardedu. The Ogliastra, undiscovered by most until a just few decades ago, is now considered one of the most beautiful places in the world and was, in fact, elected 2013's most beautiful province of Italy. Those that come across the region are enchanted by the alternation of arid plains, white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, woods, and rocks overlooking the sea. Perdepera is comprised of 150 independent villas (double, triple and family rooms) beautifully arranged among colorful gardens. All areas of the resort are connected by romanticly lit pathways accented by lush, mature landscaping. Throughout the grounds, guests may be found enjoying a leisurely tennis match or a competative ping-pong tourament. The amphitheatre holds reward ceremonies, dance parties, and shows put on by the youngest guests of the resort.
Lovely hotel which grew on us as the days went by. In a very pretty and rural location. A car is a must unless you simply want to stay in resort. The grounds are beautifully kept and is where the bedrooms are. Our room was unfortunately very dark meaning all the lights had to be kept on at all times. Mealtimes are a buffet and food in the restaurant is really good. The pools are great with a picture perfect backdrop. Beds with built in sun shades round the pool. Beach is lovely as is the beach bar. There is a cheap pizzeria up the road from the hotel however would take half an hour plus to walk there, it’s a very short drive though.

We checked into our room which was fantastic and even had a little kitchenette, which was great especially as lots of local restaurants were closed as it was out of season. We decided to upgrade to a room with a hot tub and we are really glad that we did. We had a great time. Thank you Blu Suite Hotel. If we came across you again we would definitely book with you. The only thing that was disappointing was we couldn't really find anywhere to get something to eat as most places were shut, even the hotel restaurant although we could get something there.

We booked this as a family holiday through TUI and some of the photos - especially of the pool area and gym - are incorrect/ misleading. The pool areas are lovely though, but the photos aren't correct (there's no island in the middle of the pool for example). Also - the restaurant photos are taken of the paid restaurant, not the basic buffet restaurant which is where you go if you're all inclusive, as we were. I wouldn't rate it more than a 3. We did think most of the food was lovely though - very fresh and particularly italian - considering the huge amount of guests they had to cater for, it was very well run kitchen and staff were very helpful around the dining areas! You did have to get there close to opening times to get all the good food though, we went late one lunch and there was alot that wasn't available. Most of the staff were lovely and friendly although most can't speak much english so just be aware of that if you're only english speaking. We did try some basic italian greetings etc but not very successfully! One of the staff around the pool was particularly grumpy and quite rude to alot of guests - and couldn't speak any english at all but would come over to us and tell us off (we didn't realise as soon as we finished any drinks that we had to go and throw our plastic cups away straight away - sometimes we hadn't even finished them and he was over telling us off) - he got very stressed if anyone tried to move sunbeds together (bigger families etc) Don't take your gym gear, the gym was truly awful - run down, old equipment and some of it didn't work (the one treadmill they had didn't work!) - also only opens at 10am - pointless if you want a workout before breakfast! Rooms were basic and clean with good airconditioning and cleaned daily.

Got this place at pure chance, initially booked for 2 nights but ended up for 3 as it was so good. Stayed in the pod section of the hotel which works out at about 30€ a night with buffet breakfast and thermal pool access. The pod was grand, very modern had your own little space, lights and curtain. Locker underneath the as big enough for plenty baggage ! Shower and bathroom was also very stylish though unfortunately very dirty when I arrived.. The pool was a great size and warmth, went here in the evenings about 10-11.30 as it was usual quiet. The breakfast is from 7-11 I believe, with a wide variety of stuff !! Everything you could imagine and more… even vodka / rum etc for your coffee if that’s your interest ! This place is definitely more of a hotel feel than a hostel but for 30€ a night I think it seals the deal in being superb for any backpacker / living cheap while wanting luxury ! The only down sides to this place is the pods are very stuffy and warm. The rooms are also quite dusty, and bathrooms were always left in a mess even after people checked out.. Despite these little flaws, 30€ was a great bargain for me on my travels with a budget ! I would recommend this place to others for a relaxing time and solid base to visit other cities Padova / Venice etc.
