Isola Madre is the largest island and visitors will want to see the palace (where the boat docks). Three of the islands can be visited by boat from Stresa for around 25 Euros, but the fourth Isolino dei Giovanni is closed to the public. The enchanting Borromean Islands comprise Isola Madre, Isola Pescatori, Isola Bella and Isolino dei Giovanni. Golden hour on the Borromean Islands, Italy The lake is a picturesque paradise known as Italy’s Garden of Eden and, to see Lake Maggiore in all its splendour you need to visit the Borromean Islands (Isole Borromee), which is one of the best hidden gems in Italy. Lake Maggiore could be described as one of Italy’s hidden gems, not due to its size, it is after all the second largest of the Italian Lakes, but it is one of the lesser-known lakes to tourists visiting Italy. Recommended by Jasmine from The Life Of A Social Butterfly Guests and locals dress up in medieval clothes and enjoy a special Middle Ages meal, whilst actors perform among the tables. Once a year, the main street in Certaldo is laid out like a giant medieval banquet and the town turns back to the 14th century for an evening. First up, head to Su Stani Saliu – a salted lake which is a nesting place for pink flamingos.Īt the end of the main road in town, Via Boccaccio, stands Palazzo Pretorio, an imposing building decorated with the coats of arms of the past vicars sent from Florence to live here. This will give you the flexibility to explore the beautiful surroundings. The best way to explore Serdina is on a road trip. Considering there are only around 3,000 inhabitants, that’s quite a lot! At the heart of the Parteolla region, which is famous for the production of olive oil and wine, Serdiana has a whopping number of wineries (there are 5 at the moment). Located around 20 minutes drive from Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, Serdiana is a beautiful secret place in Italy! The kind of place that has yet to be touched by tourism. Recommended by Claudia Tavani of Strictly Sardinia The formations of the rock walls, the clear, cold waters running through them and the beauty of the lava caves is stunning. The canyons were carved into black lava walls and are 50m tall at their steepest.
It’s a 20km trek from Taormina and a natural marvel. Lastly, spend some time exploring the gorges of Alcantara.
Go off the beaten track in Italy and visit Alcantara Gorge Park near Taormina, Sicily The closest airport is Catania and it’s easy to reach Taormina from the airport or other large cities including Palermo. The beautiful Italian town boasts medieval walls with dramatic gates and hillside views. It lies on the east coast of Sicily, not far from Mount Etna. One of the best hidden gems in Italy is the cozy hilltop town of Taormina. Recommended by Derek and Mike from Robe Trotting If you haven’t been to Bologna before, I’d recommend reading my guide to spending one day in Bologna. Instead, book yourself into one of the quaint family-run boutique guesthouses and B&Bs for an authentic local experience. Modena has a distinct lack of big name hotel chains in the old town. Dominated by Duomo di Modena, a beautiful 12th-century Romanesque Roman Catholic cathedral and a majestic 89m bell tower which awards those fit enough to climb to the top, a stunning birds eye view over the city. In the centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Piazza Grande.
