To enjoy this aspect of Italy it is recommended that you stay in an Agriturismo, a working farm, offering accommodation and typically a restaurant.Both Sicily and Sardinia are incredibly beautiful islands with magical coastlines and still more history, culture and food to explore.It is not for nothing that the Italians coined the phrase, La Dolce Vita, the sweet life.Italy borders with, amongst others, Switzerland, Austria and France. The currency is the Euro.
