From stunning scenery and fascinating history to mouth-watering cuisine and welcoming hospitality, Italy’s many charms make it the ideal holiday destination. Packed with fantastic excursions, specialist tour operator Newmarket Holidays’ 2012 Italy holidays and escorted tours offer the chance to discover this beautiful part of the world.

Priced from just £339 per person, Newmarket’s Italian holidays fly from a wide choice of airports throughout the UK. For a relaxing holiday in one of Italys most beautiful settings, look no further than Lake Garda. Surrounded by towering mountains, the glittering lakes clear, blue waters have long been a popular draw for visitors seeking a tranquil getaway and watersport thrills. Holidays in Lake Garda offer a choice of several delightful resorts on the lake’s shores, each with its own individual charms just waiting to be discovered.

For a holiday that combines gorgeous scenery and fascinating history, Newmarket Holidays’ Venice, Verona and Lake Garda escorted tour is the perfect choice. As well tours of the breath-taking Dolomite Mountains and Lake Garda, this holiday includes excursions to two of Italy’s most majestic cities. Trips to ‘Fair Verona’ – the backdrop to Shakespeare’s tragic tale of star-crossed lovers – and to romantic, labyrinthine Venice, are enhanced by a knowledgeable Newmarket tour manager, on hand to answer any questions and offer advice.

Newmarket Holidays’ Sorrento holidays guarantee more picture-postcard relaxation. Priced from just £379 per person, a Newmarket holiday to Sorrento offers a wonderful range of excursions. Visits to Pompei and Montecassino uncover the secrets of Italy’s haunting past, while a trip to Capri – the magical ‘Isle of Dreams’, overlooking the Bay of Naples – and a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast, promise stunning views. Both resorts – Sorrento and Sant’ Agata – offer a great range of hotels in which to enjoy the glorious Mediterranean sunshine and sample the local way of life.

Sunseekers looking for some cultural stimulation will love Newmarket’s escorted Sicily holidays. Located between Italy and Africa, this sun-blessed island has natural beauty in abundance: inland, quaint hilltop towns perch on volcanic slopes whilst beautiful beaches and elegant resorts dot the coast. Sicily’s landscape contains many historic treasures, ready to be discovered on a range of fantastic excursions – to the island's capital, Palermo, medieval Agrigento and fabled Mount Etna. Its many cultural influences have ensured that Sicilian cuisine is especially impressive, combining Greek, Arab and Spanish textures with traditional Italian flavours – and, of course, the ice cream is legendary.

A magical blend of unspoiled beauty, history and culture can be found on Newmarket Holidays’ Florence and Tuscany holidays. A holiday to Italy’s beautiful heartland is a journey into its past, as a wonderful range of excursions reveal – from Botticelli's exquisite 'Birth of Venus' in Florence and Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome, to Siena, one of the world’s most perfectly preserved medieval cities. For those who prefer to explore at their own pace, this break also offers the chance to discover the famous rolling hills and artistic legacy at leisure.

Choose one of Newmarket Holiday’s great-value breaks to this wonderful corner of the world and fall under Italy’s spell.
