Travel Info - Why not drive?

Having driven to Italy many times we can advise on the best routes and places to stay. This can be a most enjoyable journey from the UK if spaced out over 2 to 3 days giving you the chance to visit other parts of Europe and saving on car hire costs at your destination.
Please call or email for any help required.

Travel Info - Flights

There are many websites which provide information relating to flights from main and regional airports across the UK and Europe, the most informative for the low cost airlines being www.whichbudget.com.

Please remember in order to get cheaper flights it may be advisable to add on a day at either end (if possible). We can help organise any extra nights at local hotels for a price which suits your budget.
Please call or email for any help required.
