Italy Holidays: 5 Top Deals from €895 Including Flights, 4 Star Hotel Half Board, Baggage, Transfers & More!
From Lake Garda to Liguria, Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast, these Italy holidays allow you to discover Italy’s most sought-after destinations at superb value.
From stunning lakes to beautiful beaches, captivating cities to the prettiest hill top towns, 58 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and some of the world’s best cuisine, Italy holidays have it all. But despite what you might think, package holidays in Italy don’t need to cost a fortune. Prices for off-peak Italian holidays are very reasonable, especially if you can travel in April or May. Better still, Italy’s top resorts are usually less crowded at that time of year, so its a win-win!

2. Bristol Hotel Sorrento, 7 Night Half Board from €1195pp
The Amalfi Coast is one of Europe’s most captivating destinations. From the pastel-painted houses of Positano to the hilltop town of Ravello, the stunning isle of Capri to the ancient city of Pompeii, there is so much to see and do, and a holiday to the Bristol Hotel Sorrento is the perfect way to experience it.
Sorrento is a gorgeous town that is brimming with historical buildings, housing everything from designer shops to local souvenirs. I love the buzz in the evening time in Sorrento. An evening stroll, followed by a drink on the main piazza is a lovely way to spend a few hours, and there are plenty of lively bars in its pretty alleyways should you wish to stay out a little longer.
The Bristol is located just a ten-minute walk from the town centre, and ferries depart regularly from Sorrento’s port to many of the towns along the Amalfi Coast. Not only is Sorrento a fantastic place to stay, it is also an ideal base for exploring this spectacular stretch of coastline.
I stayed in the Bristol for my honeymoon and I’ll never forget its dramatic clifftop setting with panoramic views over the Bay of Naples, and the dilemma we faced leaving it to go off exploring the Amalfi Coast. Judging from the Excellent reviews on TripAdvisor, many people feel the same.
Topflight are the exclusive agent for the Bristol Hotel Sorrento in Ireland and have special offers from €1195 for a seven-night stay including flights, 20kg checked baggage, transfers, breakfast and evening meal each day, a guided walkabout of Sorrento and a resort manager service throughout your stay.

3. A Taste of Puglia with Alberobello, Matera, Lecce & Polignano, 7 Nights Half Board from €1285pp
With five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, stunning beaches and some of Italy’s prettiest towns, Puglia needs be on your bucket list. I took a short break there a few years ago and would love to return to see more.
This super seven-night tour takes you to most of Puglia’s highlights, and you will still have two days to explore at your leisure. You will be staying in the top-rated Relais Porta del Sud Hotel with breakfast and evening meal included each day.
Visit the pretty town of Alberobello, which is famous for its unique Trulli houses with conical roofs, the ‘White City’ of Ostuni, the historic city of Lecce, the pretty village of Locorotondo, and the seaside towns of Otranto and Polignano a Mare. Visits to local burrata and olive oil producers are also included, where you will have the chance to sample the authentic Apulian cuisine.
As well Puglia’s highlights, this tour of Italy includes a visit to the ancient city of Matera, which is located in neighbouring Basilicata. Our trip to Matera was one of our best Italy holidays. It is a UNESCO-World Heritage city that has been inhabited for over 9000 years. I felt like I was stepping onto a movie set, Matera is guaranteed to take your breath away!
Price for a seven-night tour including flights, 20kg checked baggage, transfers, breakfast and evening meal each day, a dedicated tour co-ordinator and excursions as per itinerary, is available from only €1285 per person.
4. Tuscany with Umbria by Steam Train, 5 Nights Half Board from €1285pp
Looking for Italy holidays that bring you off the beaten track? This five-night tour of Tuscany might just do the trick. You will be based in the charming city of Arezzo and enjoy escorted tours of Perugia and Assisi, followed by a second tour visiting Montepulciano, Pienza and Bagno Vignoni.
Perugia is the capital of Umbria and its historic centre is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the area, while the town of Assisi is renowned for its churches, in particular the Basilica of Saint Francis. On your second tour you will visit the towns and villages of the Val d’Orcia – a region I would love to return to. It has a countryside filled with rolling hills and cypress trees, and the prettiest hilltop towns and cities, such as Montepulciano and Pienza.
However, I’m sure the highlight of this tour will be the vintage steam train journey from Siena through the Ombrone Valley to the UNESCO heritage site of Val d’Orcia. You can enjoy the Orcia Wine Festival that takes places in April or the Train Festival that takes place in May.
Price for a five-night tour including flights, 20kg checked baggage, transfers, breakfast and evening meal each day, a dedicated tour co-ordinator and excursions as per itinerary, is available from only €1285 per person.
