We can finally get back to travelling! With summer approaching, it’s time to choose the perfect spots for our holidays. Whether you love the seaside, the mountains, busy city centres or small towns and their great traditions, Italy will satisfy your needs. Regardless of what your perfect getaway is, we recommend opting for sustainable tourism, to experience the territory with awareness and while respecting the environment and those who live there.
There are many possible destinations in Italy for those who want to travel in a new and sustainable way. In this article we’d like to tell you about four of them.
A tree-top holiday
In a sustainable journey, hospitality is fundamental. Treehouses are widespread throughout Italy. You can find them in mountain resorts in Trentino Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, as well as in Lazio, Tuscany, Sicily and Piedmont. Malga Priu, for example, will welcome you in beautiful pinecone-shaped room, made exclusively with environmentally sustainable materials.
Do you like the idea of living in harmony with nature, maybe opting for an electric bike to move between the hills the countryside? Choose a tree-top holiday as your next destination!
Sauris, Friuli Venezia Giulia
A small gem set in the Carnic Alps, Sauris is a place to be discovered through walks in the woods, mountain bike rides and steep walls to climb. It is one of the unmissable “alberghi diffusi” stops: restored historic houses, or even entire villages that have been redesigned to host tourists and allow them to immerse themselves in the real life of the local community. Great authenticity for a unique vacation model in our mountains.
Orvieto, Umbria
A perfect example of Slow City in Italy, Orvieto is a treasure trove of culture, but above all a town that deeply respects its territory. The restaurants offer only 0 Km products and there are also numerous hotels to choose from for a stay. Here you can enjoy good living, great hospitality, a high quality of life and tourist-friendly infrastructures.
Between a glass of good wine, a bicycle ride in the surrounding countryside and a visit to the unmissable Duomo, every day in Orvieto offers the opportunity to enjoy a new activity in perfect communion with nature.
Lake Molveno, Trentino
If you love nature, Lake Molveno is a real jewel, as you may have read in our previous posts. By the beautiful lake framed by mountains there is an electric Gogo Boat by GardaSolar rental. Everything there is built around the concept of green mobility, with mini-golf parks and electric off-road vehicle tracks for children. Numerous footpaths depart from the hotel facilities, opening the doors to a healthier holiday, far from the stressful rhythms of the city.
