What’s the most beautiful place in Italy? We chose 21, and we\u2019re still lamenting all the places we had to leave out. When you behold a list of the most beautiful places in Italy, you realize how much stunning scenery this one slender European country contains.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Ultimate Italy<\/a>\u00a0journey is 12 days of signature luxury guided travel, taking in Venice, the Cinque Terre, Florence, San Gimignano, Tuscany, Rome, Naples and more, but you could always extend your stay (for a year or so) to fit in all of the locations below. The pictures are probably speaking for themselves by now, so let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

Burano, Venice<\/h2>\n

\"Coloured<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s impossible to choose just one beautiful spot in one of the most ethereally beautiful cities in the world, but Burano is a sight to be savored. It\u2019s the island in the Venetian Lagoon you\u2019ve seen on art prints a hundred times \u2013 pastel-colored homes reflected in the canal below. It\u2019s a special place, deserving of its fame, with its leaning bell tower, fairytale bridges and shops and workshops full of intricate lacework.<\/p>\n

Grand Canal, Venice<\/h2>\n

OK, we didn\u2019t choose just one. There is nowhere on earth like the Grand Canal, especially at sunset, when the sky is streaked with pinks and purples, and the surrounding palazzos take on a golden glow. The most elegant way to arrive in Venice is by private water taxi, which ideally takes you to your hotel by the water\u2019s edge, as on our Ultimate Italy journey.<\/p>\n

Polignano a Mare, Puglia<\/h2>\n

\"White<\/h2>\n

Just before the heel begins, on the southern Adriatic coast, this enchanting town is perched on limestone cliffs. It\u2019s petite, but spectacularly positioned. Day trippers come from Bari (30 minutes away) to see the waves crashing against the craggy cliffs and to cruise the coastal caves. Admirers tend to focus their gaze on Lama Monachile, a rocky bay between cliffs that was once used as a port.<\/p>\n

Lecce, Puglia<\/h2>\n

In the Salento region of Puglia, tucked well within the heel of the boot, this honey-coloured Baroque city of exuberant carved sandstone is often referred to as the \u201cFlorence of the South\u201d. However, that seems a little reductive because Lecce is a masterpiece on its own merit \u2013\u00a0a mini metropolis of 17th century piazzas, basilicas, columns and gargoyles, with architectural surprises (and leisurely lunches) around every cobblestone corner.<\/p>\n

Ostuni, Puglia<\/h2>\n

\"beautiful<\/h2>\n

Will we ever leave Puglia? Perhaps. But first we must take a pause in Ostuni, which is known as the White City for its wedding cake of sun-drenched, whitewashed houses, arranged across three hills. Delicious things await in Ostuni\u2019s medieval alleys, and from the walled city\u2019s many balconies, you also get glorious views of the Puglian countryside \u2013\u00a0olive groves, vines and all.<\/p>\n

Ortigia, Sicily<\/h2>\n

Ortigia is the tiny Sicilian island that forms the historical heart of Siracusa \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s connected by three bridges, with cars best left in the car park outside. Ortigia\u2019s story began in 734, when Archia arrived from Corinth to defeat Sicilians and form the Greek colony of Siracusa. Nowadays, it provides more of that honey-hued baroque magnificence we\u2019ve met before, but with added turquoise waters and atmosphere in abundance.<\/p>\n

Matera, Basilicata<\/h2>\n

\"View<\/h2>\n

You really have to see Matera to believe it. In Basilicata, in southern Italy, this city of stone is situated on a rocky outcrop and the whole place sparkles at dusk. Matera incorporates the Sassi (\u201cstones\u201d) districts, complexes of unfathomable cave dwellings which have been excavated and extended over millennia. It\u2019s one of the most unique landscapes in the world \u2013\u00a0beautiful inside and out.<\/p>\n

Spiaggia dei Conigli (Rabbit Beach), Lampedusa<\/h2>\n

What are the most beautiful beaches in Italy? Those of the Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast are up there, but Spiaggia dei Conigli is a special one we couldn\u2019t miss. It\u2019s accessible by boat or on foot via a 20-minute detour from the main road and it is a true Sicilian paradise, named after its original inhabitants. There are aperitif boat rides and dolphin spotting excursions, but once you get there, the best thing to do is sit and drink it in.<\/p>\n

Duomo de Milano, Milan<\/h2>\n

\"Milan<\/h2>\n

What are the most beautiful cities in Italy? While the capital of fashion might not rank highest in your mind, it\u2019s undeniable that the Duomo de Milano is a Gothic sensation, its facade festooned with gargoyles and spires. Constructed over several centuries, with the input of various architects, sculptors and artists, the duomo combines contrasting styles and contains more statues than any other cathedral in the world \u2013\u00a0over 3,500.<\/p>\n

Val d\u2019Orcia, Tuscany<\/h2>\n

This is a lush, hilly expanse of countryside so green and densely packed it\u2019s on the UNESCO World Heritage list, making it\u00a0officially<\/em>\u00a0one of the most beautiful places in Italy. This quintessential Tuscan landscape is graced with vineyards, olive groves, medieval villages, cypresses and chestnut groves. Visitors meander between thermal spas, rustic osterias and enrapturing wine trails, stopping to take photographs around each and every bend of the cypress-lined road.<\/p>\n

Roman Forum, Rome<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/h2>\n

Once the centre of public life \u2013\u00a0the place to witness gladiatorial combats, public speeches and criminal trials \u2013 this is now (bear with us) an assemblage of rather random ruins between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. And while it\u2019s hard to picture the area in all its former glory, the sheer spectacle of the iconic columns and archways seemingly sprouting from the ground right in the middle of modern day Rome is something special.<\/p>\n

Ravello, Amalfi Coast<\/h2>\n

High in the hills, with coastline views unlike anywhere else on earth, Ravello is one of the Amalfi Coast\u2019s quieter but no less flamboyant towns. It may not be as famous as Positano or Amalfi, but its position is second to none. Ravello is a place of such stark beauty that writers and artists have come here for decades to feel alive again, and be inspired. Whether you\u2019re creative or not, the view from the belvedere at Villa Cimbrone will live with you, always.<\/p>\n

Lake Como, Lombardy<\/h2>\n

\"Lake<\/h2>\n

Opulent neoclassical villas and garden follies in shades of pearl and rose are set against a backdrop of mountains, cypresses, magnolias and palm trees, arranged around the star of the show: the twinkling Lake itself. Add to the picture a few speedboats and ferraris and here you have the location of the Bond film Casino Royale and the site of Amal and George Clooney\u2019s wedding. Not just one of the most beautiful places in Italy, it\u2019s one of the most luxurious and captivating places on earth, and you have to see it.<\/p>\n

Tropea, Calabria<\/h2>\n

On the Gulf of Saint Euphemia, part of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tropea is another irresistible cliffside town. It\u2019s a white sand paradise, famed for its associations with Hercules (who may have founded it), for being \u201cthe jewel in the crown of Calabria\u201d, for its assemblage of cobbles and piazzas, and \u2013\u00a0not forgetting \u2013 its Tropea red onions. It\u2019s frequently named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.<\/p>\n

Vernazza, Cinque Terre<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/h2>\n

On the rugged Italian Riviera, this divine little fishing village is the Cinque Terre in a nutshell \u2013 little jumbles of candy-coloured houses balanced on and around the cliffs, opening out to perfect bays where lucky people are taking the most beautiful and invigorating sea swims of their lives. Cinque Terre means \u201cfive lands\u201d, and it actually consists of five villages, all of them absurdly photogenic, but Vernazza just pips the others.<\/p>\n

Capri, Bay of Naples<\/h2>\n

\"Water<\/h2>\n

In Italy\u2019s Bay of Naples, Capri (darling) is chic to the bones, with its elegant boutiques, megayachts and sun-kissed limoncello. But it also has natural beauty in rich abundance, in its dramatically craggy rock formations and sea caves tucked into cliffs. The Blue Grotto is the most famous sea cave \u2013 so-called because the sunlight streams through an underwater cavity, giving the water a blue glow that lights up the space.<\/p>\n

Langhe, Piedmont<\/h2>\n

The softly rolling, wine-growing hills of the Langhe may be less dramatic than Italy\u2019s city duomos and craggy coastline, but it is no less beautiful. As you drive around, among the vines, with the scents of hazelnut and truffle in the air, each hilltop appears iced with its own fairy castle. What are the most beautiful towns in Italy? It could be these Piedmontese dream locales: Alba, Grinzane Cavour and Barolo.<\/p>\n

Gulf of Orosei, Sardinia<\/h2>\n

\"Boats<\/h2>\n

On the east coast of Sardinia, the Gulf of Orosei is home to some of the most photogenic beaches in Italy and the whole Mediterranean, with their clear turquoise waters and white sand. Cala Luna is the real deal, with powdery soft sand and a gentle slope out to sea \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s accessible by boat, or a two-hour hike. Cala Goloritz\u00e8 is just as idyllic, with the same impeccable colour palette, but it\u2019s a little wilder, with a mighty limestone pinnacle.<\/p>\n

Piazza del Campo, Siena<\/h2>\n

Italy has piazzas aplenty, but no others quite like Siena\u2019s huge, sloping social centre. One of the most beautiful places in Italy, it\u2019s the shape of a scallop shell, divided into nine sections, recalling the \u2018Nove\u2019 (the nine) who governed the city for the \u2018common good\u2019, not for the nobility, at the end of the 13th century. Nowadays, it\u2019s surrounded by the Palazzo Pubblico<\/a>\u00a0and its\u00a0Torre del Mangia<\/a>, as well as various opportunities for aperitivo.<\/p>\n

Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Dolomites<\/h2>\n

\"Three<\/h2>\n

Three distinctive rocky peaks rise abruptly and spectacularly into the sky in the Sexten Dolomites of northeastern Italy. These are the three epic icons of The Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site and if you want to hike them all, it\u2019s a 10km route, best taken in the summer when the buttercups, forget-me-nots and vanilla orchids are in bloom. The Dolomites are a popular draw all year long, though, and one of the most inspiring places on earth to get outside and walk.<\/p>\n

San Fruttuoso, Liguria<\/h2>\n

What this list needs to finish is a good, ancient Benedictine monastery, right on the seashore. The tiny hamlet, situated between Camogli and Portofino, and surrounded by Portofino Regional Park, has all the right shades of aquamarine and sun-blanched white, but its dominated by the Abbazia di San Fruttuoso, with its domed watchtower. It has to be one of the most beautiful places in Italy to lay your chic, striped beach towel.<\/p>\n
