    Thanksgiving in Italy: What to expect and how to celebrate. All you need to know for a day you’ll love

    October 22, 2026 /

    All you need to know to spend Thanksgiving in Italy: what to expect, what you will find, what you won’t, how to make this day special. US Thanksgiving break is a popular time for visitors from the US to come to Italy and a lovely one for an Italy trip.

The crowds tend to be lower than at other times, prices are often better than during Christmas or Easter and temperatures are usually still…

    San Teodoro with kids: all you need to know to plan a perfect stay and love Sardinia with kids

    October 7, 2026 /

    Essential travel guide to planning a stay in San Teodoro with kids: best thing to do, family friendly accommodation, best family friendly beaches in San Teodoro and why I consider it one of the best towns in Sardinia for families. San Teodoro is a pretty and family friendly small town in North Eastern Sardinia and one of my favorite places for a sea and sun summer vacation in Italy with the kids. It is the kind of town where relaxation just comes easy. The town center is pleasant and walkable, with playgrounds, an evening market, many restaurants, cafes and a mellow atmosphere. Its vibe is upbeat but kid-friendly, and you…

    La Maddalena by Boat with kids: all you need to know for a day trip you’ll love

    September 17, 2026 /

    La Maddalena by boat – our experience touring the La Maddalena archipelago by boat in summer — how we chose our tour, what the day was like, and why it became one of our favourite days in Sardinia Last summer, we spent four days in North Eastern Sardinia and spend one of these days on a boat, touring La Maddalena archipelago, a small and stunning cluster of islands immediately off Sardinia’s northern coast. Our whole vacation in the area was a delight but the day touring La Maddalena was a real highlight for us: some activities truly are popular for a reason, and this is one of them! La Maddalena…
