Award Winning Active Holidays
Why choose Italy?
Picture Italy and you'll probably see sparkling coves, warm, crystal-clear water and quiet roads winding past vineyards and olive groves, all rounded off with a long, lazy lunch of pizza and pasta. An activity holiday in Italy gives you all of that, just with a little more movement involved.
Sitting in the Mediterranean, Italy is made for water sports. Steady breezes are perfect for sailing and windsurfing, sheltered bays are made for paddleboarding, and the sea is warm enough to make falling in less of a punishment and more a treat. Then there’s the scenery, quiet rolling coastal roads and sleepy terracotta villages dotted between olive groves makes will have feeling like you’re living “la dolce vita” as you explore them by bike.
Our two resorts, in Sardinia and Sicily, bring it all together. Both stylish, chic and packed with activities like tennis, padel and favourite fitness classes to enjoy. All with expert coaching and other intrepid explorers to enjoy them with.
All that’s left for you is to pick the island you fancy for your next Italian activity holiday.

Eating like a local
Italy has a reputation for world class cuisine, that is so much more than pizza and pasta. Every region of Italy has its own take on the Italian staples. In the north polenta, risotto, pork and cheeses are common ingredients. In the south tomatoes are king, as are peppers, olives, olive oil and garlic. Spaghetti and pasta, the foods most people associate with Italy, originate from central regions in the country.
Italians take their food very seriously and love to gather family and friends together to enjoy long, sociable lunches. Most meals start with ‘antipasti’, bite-sized pieces to share, usually cured meats, cheese, and olives. This is followed by ‘primo’, the first course, which is usually pasta or risotto, then ‘secondi’, the main course - meat or fish served with vegetables. Dolce or sweets are then served, usually with coffee.
On the subject of coffee, one thing you will probably never see in Italy is someone drinking a cappuccino with a meal, the locals drink it most of the time for breakfast. After the one milky coffee, locals generally stick to espresso for the rest of the day.

As you would expect summer in Italy is lovely and warm, with temperatures in the peak summer months of July and August regularly topping out in the mid to high 30’s. You’ll want to be close to the water when these temperatures top out, so head to the beach and take to the water on a kayak, dinghy or windsurf. May and June tend to offer a more manageable climate, although the sea may still be a little fresh. September days are lovely and the sea is still warm enough to swim in.
For ideal wind conditions, we generally advise to head out onto the water at around midday. If you're just starting out in the water, the breeze is at its most gentle in the morning, easing you into your activity before the conditions pick up at lunchtime.
