Italy Travel Blog I The Boutique Adventurer

Italy is my favourite country in Europe – I have lost track of how many times I have visited. Start in Italy’s food basket region Emilia Romagna with my posts on things to do in Rimini and the best boutique hotels in Bologna. Then head to nearby Venice and Venetian Palaces that you can visit or sleep in. Or if its winter check out these ski resorts in Italy.

Don’t waste time on your trip standing in lines – check out my Colosseum Skip the Line guide. Then head to some of the amazing wineries in Montepulciano and sleep in some of these lovely boutique hotels in Tuscany.

Head south and discover the best places to see in Puglia and the best boutique hotels on the island of Sardinia.
