My first glimpse of the gorgeous coastline of the Italian Amalfi region was in Ravello, after having crossed the Parco Regionale dei Monti Lattari by car. There are many different villas worth visiting in Ravello, and we randomly choose the Villa Rufolo Gardens.
Foof dog museum : Naples Italy
I really like funky off-the-beaten track museums about something unexpected. The Foof dog museum in the middle of nowhere Italy is a great example of such a ‘museum’. We were looking for something interesting to break up the three hour

Stunning scenery from gorgeous Pacentro: Abruzzo Italy
Italy has lots of gorgeous places to visit, but most of the top familiar attractions are packed with tourists. We were looking for something not too far away from Rome but a bit off the beaten track, where there’s a
