Countryside: Holidays in Italy

Bungalows in the countryside in Italy
There are those who love the sea, those who love the mountains and those who prefer to relax in bungalows in the countryside in Italy, a choice that rewards the direct contact with nature in one of the richest countries from a landscape point of view. The Italian countryside is, in fact, synonymous with outdoor holidays, a short distance from the small villages rich in history and traditions, including the wine and food. Just think of the green hills of Chianti in Tuscany and the Langhe in Piedmont, lands of great wines, the Padana plain with its pasta dishes, which are famous all over the world, the Tosco-Laziale Maremma with its strong flavours, Umbria that is also known as The Green Heart of Italy, the olive groves of Puglia and the hinterland of Sicily with its strong local traditions.

Nature and ancient villages
The choice of bungalows in the countryside in Italy is the ideal starting point for travellers wishing to experience the real Italian holiday, in contact with people and away from mass tourism. This is the Italy of small villages set in suggestive landscapes, often perched on high hills that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and, quite often, just a short way from the sea. The long slim shape of the Italian peninsula offers the possibility to quickly reach the coast, even if you chose to stay in bungalows in the countryside located in the deepest hinterland: the distance from the Apennines to the sea, for example, can be covered in a couple of hours.

Nature and relaxation in bungalows
If holidays in bungalows in the countryside are often chosen for the possibility of exploring the surrounding area, it is not uncommon for this type of holiday to be identified precisely for the pursuit of complete relaxation. Imagine, for example, a weekend in the countryside, surrounded by silence and the possibility of excursions on foot or on horseback, all possibly enriched by the proximity to the spas and a good restaurant to try the typical dishes of the place. The recommended periods for these experiences are spring and autumn, although campsites and holiday villages with swimming pools offer the ideal conditions even in summer.
