Il Bel Paese (The Beautiful Country), as Italy is often referred to, has always been a major European destination. From cultural trips to last minute weekends there are cities and places in Italy that have attracted globe trotters and renowned celebrities, intellectuals and individuals who simply go there to “see” the sights and “live” the life.

for example:

Lombardy (Lombardia)

Outstanding for its monumental romantic waterways, rich art galleries and quality cuisine. Of course there is also heavy industry, and business. The whole region is identified with Milan, the capital, one of the world's leading commercial centres and the home of famed La Scala Opera House. For the tourist there is the countryside, valleys, the Alps, and the "lake district" with the shores of Lake Como, Maggiore, Garda and Iseo. In addition to Milan, Pavia, Brescia, Cremona, Bergamo and Mantua are rich in art treasures.

For business or for pleasure: better the comforts of a real home
